Meteorological Winter Begins...

December 1st marks the start of the 3 coldest months of the year. We're to the time of the year when nightly freezes are common on the North Shore and occasionally happen south of Lake P. Our latest cold front has swept well to our east bringing much colder air behind it. Looking out the next 10-14 days, even colder air is coming, but then that's what happens in December. I see no signs of any snow event the next 7-10 days . There is an interesting upper feature off the west coast that, IF it takes a more southern route, could tie in to a deepening Great Lakes trough and bring the "potential" for some white stuff to parts of the deep South. Way too soon to tell if that will happen. As always, stay tuned.

Hurricane Season 2010 is officially over...thankfully a quiet one for us as we had the Gulf Oil leak to battle .

I live in Albany and I saw rain mixed with snow in the accuweather forecast for Tues night Dec 7th... It's really interesting to me that these last several winters have had so much wintry precip on the Northshore... last winter we had TWO accumulating snowfalls and the winter before that we had a 6"-8" snowfall across Livingston/Tangipahoa... any explanation on that, Bob? it must have something to do with global warming... hahaha (just kidding)

Speaking of hurricanes and snow on the same blog...

Only in New Orleans!!!

Would love to see some of the white stuff and I agree, glad to see another Hurricane season come and go uneventfully.

Not to go "against the grain" here, but hope that this winter is very mild, with no snow...

I live on the Southshore, and I sure hope we see some of the white stuff!
