Last year, right about mid November,
we were hit with a cold wave that saw the daytime temperature plummet
to 21°F
with the night dropping down to 19! Wow, now that was cold!
This
year, right at about the same time, we are seeing not just a repeat,
but an even more prolonged stretch of arctic air (vis a vie a Polar
Vortex) that is forecast to last as long as a week. And, only time
will tell just how severe it will get. One thing is for sure, the
forecast high winds will make it seem even colder that what the
mercury reads!
Already
there is as much as 18 inches of snow in some of the northern states
with a little white stuff predicted to fail in SWMO as early as the
15th
of the month! It's been a proven fact that early snow falls can
augment just how brutal the coming winter might be. I think we'll get
a chance to see if that has any truth to it this year, for sure.
