It’s the day after Christmas and millions of Americans across the lower 48 states have experienced temperatures at or below freezing.
Tuesday morning saw low temperatures across the continental U.S., according to Weather.us meteorologist Ryan Maue. Millions of Americans already experienced a white Christmas Day, including Erie, Pennsylvania where they got a record 53 inches of snow over a two-day period
Ryan Maue | weather.us ✔ @RyanMaue Tuesday morning (Dec 26) the avg temperature across Lower 48 was 18°F. 75% at/below freezing 20% at/below 0°F Coldest snapshot of day at 8:15 AM EST 2:15 PM - Dec 26, 2017
From coast to coast, families saw snowfall starting on Christmas Eve. For example, downtown Portland, Oregon saw snow for the sixth time since 1884. Maine got 15 inches of snow during a snowstorm, and New Hampshire saw about one foot, according to ABC News.
And it’s not over yet!
Weather forecasts show more snow for the Northeast and Great Lakes area in the coming days. Western New York can expect up to 5 feet of snow this week — thanks lake effect!
Well, our lake effect snow comes from Lake Ontario, and it rarely freezes over, areas east of Lake Ontario in upstate New York average over 100 inches of snow per year.
The long term forecasts for the Eastern US (6-10 days and 8-14 days) say cold, cold, cold...
I am waiting for Trump to tweet something in a few days to the effect that he’s glad he’s back in DC to personally experience some global warming. /s
That would be hilarious.
Stay warm and safe.
We get very cold here in Colorado but we don’t have the humidity you have.
We get some of the lake affect humidity but interesting is the jet stream often wobbles through here so you never know what you’re going to get, unless of course the jet stream takes a deep dive as it’s doing now with this cold spell.
....my place is cozy warm as I use two fin blade oil filled radiant heaters rather than the baseboard electic that’s here.......so the warmth is ‘consistent’ rather than clicking on and off.
