The Records Will Tumble...

The current Arctic cold that grips the nation will shatter many record lows tomorrow morning and that will include Slidell & cities north of lake P.   The weekend warm up elevated the water temp. of Lake P. so that we have a “lake effect” on the south shore, especially on the East Bank.   Mid to upper 20s are likely north & west of the Lake while mid to upper 30s will rule south.   As the center of high pressure moves across us during the day, winds will diminish.  Wednesday morning could again be near or below freezing before a warm up begins that will last into next week.   Look for several big southern storms coming before Thanksgiving with a return of Arctic chill later this month.   This will be a snowy, brutally cold winter for much of the nation.   It will tax the oil & gas industry’s supplies to keep the folks up north warm since nuclear & coal power plants have been eliminated.  Higher demand, fewer supplies = higher prices.     What about solar?   Ask the folks in Buffalo how often they see the sun during the winter?   Stay tuned!
