The cold front that came through and dropped the temperature 30 degrees the second half of Monday stalled just off the coast and set the stage for yesterday's snow event. Low pressure bringing Gulf and later Atlantic moisture drifted along the frontal boundary and hammered the south with snow. And, that's when the adventure begins; snow in Atlanta: nightmare, OBX: lovely, Va. Beach: nightmare! Schools closed, cars wrecked and abandoned, it's a southern mess.
And, with 9 degrees in central Va. this morning even the bright sun isn't doing any melting. Temps are supposed to moderate a little tomorrow and more Friday with a chance of not-frozen moisture this coming, Super Bowl weekend. The fall/winter of 2013/14 continues with only minor variations on this year's theme (park high pressure over the west coast and let the jet stream dive way south on the east coast).
Hang on, it's lovely but cold out there, today on Earth.
