Yeah, I've lost any respect I had for JB. He has ties to Principia Scientific International which is an anti-science website run by John O'Sullivan whose past is questionable at best and disturbing at worst. Be advised...should you google for him you may find material that is NOT work or school appropriate and could get you into trouble if opened. If I were JB I'd have had my name removed from O'Sullivan's "select members" list long ago. But the thing that really threw up red flags for me were his numerous questionable (and frankly absurd in some cases) statements regarding the regarding weather/climate. There was an interview he did for the media back in 2011 in which statements were made indicating a gross misunderstanding of the two most basic and fundamental laws in all of science...the law of conservation of mass and the law of conservation of energy. He also denigrates the results of radiative transfer models (like the RRTM) likely without knowing that they are essential pieces of the GFS, ECMWF, etc. which forms the core of the services he offers on his own website. And his claims that scientists have been hiding a significant increase in volcanic activity since the 1980's defies credulity. And I almost forgot about that awful color table he used on his temperature charts... agree to all. he has beclowned himself lol

First...it's a real thing winters have gotten more intermittent and shorter around d here..in many places. I remember cold and snow as a kid but I also wearing shorts at times in December or Jan or Feb. We've jad a few decent ones in the last decade or 2 for sure. But the periods of cold and snow are shorter and less frequent. Second...no one is ready for summer "after tomorrow". It's Jan 21. C....Blow torch to start feb? Maybe..but it's Jan 21. And it likely won't last long. Ok. Enjoy the ice.

I know people have mentioned surface Temps not being above freezing even if air Temps go above because of the cold we've seen. But wouldn't warmer drops and the somewhat warmer air today negate that?

Is there any likelihood of any sleet contamination at the onset or is this a freezing rain to rain setup? Sleet is a very real possibility at the onset.

We will probably see a brief period of ici g Sunday night or Monday morning. Shouldn't last long. But timing could cause issues for morning commute.

As someone who is over 50 years old, and has a job where I work primarily outside, I've had enough of this Arctic cold snap. IMBY I MAY have accumulated a total of 1 inch of snow during the bitter cold stretch, so not much fun for the kiddos, or eye candy for me either. A few hints of Winter precip is all around here, mostly. A few hours of flakes, here and there. We did have an over performing 3 inch snow a couple weeks ago, but the arctic air hadn't arrived yet to preserve it, so it left faster than it came. I'm ready for a warm up break. Looks warmer and rainy next week. My pond can use it, it's still quite low. If we are taking requests, how about February brings temps in the mid 20s, and copious snows. Just my two cents. 🙂 I can't look at your user name without thinking of the SNL Jeopardy skit. Lol. Sean Connery!

Models see to want to build the glacier in Iowa later this week while we get screwed. Inches of rain next though!
