It's Pretty Chilly, But More Pretty Than Chilly...

We are in, historically, the coldest 3-4 weeks of the year when highs typically are in the low 60s with nights in the mid 40s.  Despite bright sunshine, we have struggled to reach 60 today in most locations.

There is a slight warming to our west and Tuesday & Wednesday should be back 60+.  This is a very dry airmass with dew points in the 30s, so if you are dressed for it, it feels really nice outside.

There is a weak snow storm over the Northeast, but when you see Denver 50+ with near 50 up into Montana, you know there is no Arctic air over the lower 48.    I see several fronts coming this week, but there will be no "Polar Express" to worry about this week.

The NE storm will lay down 2-4"+ snow totals, but this is not a major Nor'Easter.  The bottom satellite view shows the snow on the ground left behind from this storm over Iowa.   You can clearly see all the rivers pop out.    

. Our next rain chance comes on Thursday with the next cold front.   We could briefly top 70 on Wednesday before the sweaters and coats return for Friday & the weekend.  I know many of you are enjoying these sunny & cool days and so am I.    I do hate the cold, but this is not the brutal Winter cold like what happened 51 years ago when we set a record low of 25 degrees.   No signs of that nonsense coming...yet!  Stay tuned and Go Saints!   Saints 30, Panthers 24.  Go Bears too!
