[TheForge] On the weather front.

[Jerry Frost]

I just thought I'd let everybody down south know Alaska 
has a stable high pressure system perched on us right 
now. Temps in my neighborhood are going to -14f lows to 
+10 highs and it's forecast to go on for another week 
at least. Interior temperatures have been much more 
severe; Ft. Yukon hit -57f yesterday, Fairbanks has 
been hoovering around -35 to -45f, -49f in McGrath, you 
get the idea.

Not that cold weather should surprise anybody, it IS 
Alaska after all but once the system starts to move 
it'll go east, then south following the central plains. 
The area between the Rockies and eastern coastal mtn. 
range(s) extending from the arctic ocean to the Gulf of 
Mexico.

So, in a week or so folk in the Dakotas, Wyoming and 
vicinity can expect some sub-zero windy weather, a 
little later in the week the rest of the mid-west can 
expect cold and snow and finally the North East might 
want to gird your loins for a bit more winter. Of 
course by then it may head south and give the south 
east a little winter magic instead. Then again it could 
do both and treat the whole east coast. <grin>

The local weather guessers are saying this system will 
(HAH!) start to move on around monday and our temps 
might spike as high as 19f. (WooHoo) Unfortunately 
they'll go back down almost immediately because what's 
pushing this high off us is a bigger high pressure 
system lumbering in from Siberia. We'll pass it on to 
you too, when we're done with it.

Anybody remember what that stupid groundhog saw?
