Record lows expected even in southern California by next Monday. Even worse storm predicted for just before Christmas. Better check your local long range forecast and get ready.

May need more wood pellets. Maybe 4,000lbs won't be enough? Anyways, it's always cold up here in the winter.....

[PenultimateManStanding]

Damn, I hate cold weather. Frigid temps in San Diego? I hope this passes through fast. I went for a walk once in Huston when the temps were near zero. I soon grew afraid of freezing. I hustled back to my hotel room and never again underestimated the danger of cold.

What is really happening is a very impressive pattern shift. For the past month or so the east has been solidly below normal, while the west has been baking. In a span of about two days, there is going to be this flip where the west gets really cold and the east moderates. I have to think that at least part of the reason why Nat Gas futures just recently went below $6 is because the cold is progged to move away from the Eastern population centers.

Shanny,

Yeah, the GFS 3 or 4 days ago had a tremendous cold snap coming down in the central US and then moving over to the east. As we got closer, that solution really backed off. Now it looks like a 1-2 day cold shot along the eastern seaboard that isn't any colder than it is now after the storm on Thurs/Fri and then a nice warmup. Shows you the status of the 7+ day modeling still

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')orecaster Cameron Venable is seeing very cold temperatures in the Los Angeles areas as well. Torrance is not usually known for winter weather, thus making this an interesting event for Venable to track.

"Temperatures in Siberia, Russia will be -81 degrees this week, "said Martin. "With those type of temperatures the arctic air mass has to spill somewhere. Our answer of the exact track will become more clear this week. All residents in the mountain communities should prepare this week for very cold, winter weather, with snow."

Indications are a second, colder storm could hit near the 18th-22nd time-frame. The details on that will have to be sorted out.

Zero in Kansas would be considered really cold. Not unheard of, but not normal either. In Arkansas, we basically just south of them and share similar weather here. Anything below 20 is considered cold, anything under 10 is really cold. Anything under zero, virtually unheard of.

It's supposed to get up to 70 tomorrow here in NC. But then it's back down to the 40's for the high. Even a one day respite from the "cold" will be nice.

The weather is getting very crazy.

Yes, and that's why not many people live in Montana or Alaska, and why early indigenous people in fact migrated south from Alaska.

Cool! God, I love the weather hope it happens.

Went through a storm last year with baseball sized hail for about 15minutes that will put the fear of God in ya for sure.

Do you still have a lot of Hippies out there?

[Beignet2]

I am in central florida. Just heard that we maybe having severe weather here on Thursday.

That usually means TORNADOS!!

We have broken a few records for cold temps here within the past few weeks.

[Ludi]

We had quite an interesting storm last night - high winds, thunder and lightning, rain, sleet, then snow!

Central Texas

[lowem]

It's getting (slightly) cold(er) even here in Sunny Singapore.
Especially at night. But I'm still waiting for the snow to fall.

One can always dream ...
- or simply wait for climate change to do its job.

[PenultimateManStanding]

All is still well here in San Diego. Blue skies, warm temps. Knock on wood. Eventually we'll see snow on the mountains in the back country, but no Arctic Blast around here, yet. The forecast is for a drop from the 70s to the 60s and rain for the weekend. Hardly an Arctic Blast.

We're due for the weather to moderate here in Pittsburgh
