It was snowing this morning, very prettily, and now the sun is shining. I know the intense cold is coming, but for now I’m enjoying this for all its worth.
Right?! It’s headed toward us as well.
Someone told me all it means is a low pressure front is coming in from the Arctic, it doesn’t mean extreme low temps will come as well — though often they do. 🥶
Pilots have to be very weather aware, and this term is not something that’s in our lexicon. We are very aware of very real fronts, though (and from my recent weather checks, this particular front is headed to Europe). This really sounds like an attempt to scare people with silly terminology. Ugh.
Another beautiful shot of a snowy road in the winter. Most of our snow has melted and there is none on the forecast for the coming week. Hope you’re staying warm out there.
Thank you! 🙂 I am staying warm. 🙂 Very unusually for us, we had -3C today, beautifully sunny. Normally, January is -40 territory, so this is nice!

We have snow in the forecast for later today. I’m hoping our roads don’t look like yours. I’m so ready for sun and warmth. Enjoy the weekend, Lynette.
Oh yes, Jill. I couldn’t agree with you more. Lots of sun and warm breezes. 🙂
Roads are strangely bare here with daily highs above 0. Sooner or later, we will pay the price. Have a great weekend, Lynette. Allan
Thanks, Allan. Happy weekend to you, too. 🙂 I am a bit jealous of your bare roads!

We have had some cold, but nothing really intense (it usually gets to about – 45C/-49F) yet. I’m worried that we’re really going to get hammered!
Same here!
I heard something about a “polar vortex” coming to deliver bone-chilling cold. Where DO they get these names from? Yikes.
