We went to town this afternoon and our rivers are flooding, too. Mostly it is farmland that has flooded. It is kind of disconcerting to cross a highway bridge when the water is only about 6 ft underneath it...
We had a small thunderstorm a little bit ago as the front went through...that generally means it will snow sometime in the next week. I am just thankful that we have plenty of wood, and that the aquifers are full, if not full, then well on their way to being full. It's all good.

They have been flooded. Parts of I5 have been closed. Some parts still are. My cousin leaves south of Seatlle in what they call the "Banana Belt" and they are getting more snow than they normally get in 4 years. The weather seems to be getting "stuck" up there. The norm is for it to move on down here. We aren't getting any of the weather and the predictions are for the 70s over in the valley for the next week. We are looking at a serious drought!

This article did not mention the NW, but I remember reading or hearing something this am about Washinton State and some parts being completely cut-off from travel due to the cold , snow, and ice. So, I guess that Rob, and some of our other members from the NW are seeing some 'real' winter, also..............

A Plowable Snowstorm all the way to New York City

For cities like New York and Pittsburgh, this could be the
biggest snowstorm of the season so far. The storm produced 3
inches of snow across Chicago Friday morning, resulting in
over 200 flights to be canceled and extensive travel delays
in and around the city. Gusty winds led to delays around New
York City Friday afternoon, ahead of the storm.

The storm is still the development stages and only will
grow stronger into Saturday causing heavier snow to develop.
People across the southern Ohio Valley could experience a
thunderstorm later tonight into early Saturday, and it is
that energy that will move north into the cold air mass
lying across Pennsylvania into New Jersey, resulting in
heavy snow. At times, the snow will come down at the rate of
1-2 inches per hour, resulting in a quick cover of snow on
roads and extremely poor travel.

Pittsburgh will be the first to get hit followed by New
York City and Boston later on. Each of those cities will get
close to 6 inches of snow, making this the biggest snowstorm
of the season.

The Coldest Weather Possible In Nearly 15 Years

Bitterly cold air bottled up over the depths of the Arctic
will plunge southward next week, gripping the eastern
two-thirds of the nation.

The frigid air will likely arrive in two waves. The first
shot will blast the Midwest and Northeast early next week.
The second, which will prove to be the harshest, will
encompass virtually all places east of the Rockies by next
weekend.

Expert Senior Meteorologist Elliot Abrams reports,
"Joe Bastardi has been talking about a daytime
temperature below zero in Chicago and a nighttime low near 0
in New York City... and if one of these Arctic highs makes
the plunge south and east, those ideas will turn out
right."

Blustery winds will usher in the arctic air, resulting in
even colder and potentially dangerous AccuWeather.com
RealFeelĀ® temperatures.

The air Friday over a portion of Alaska was colder than the
air anywhere else in the northern hemisphere. That is the
source region for the air coming into the northern Plains
next week.

There are early indications of a reinforcing shot of arctic
air settling over the East in the days leading up to
Inauguration Day.

AccuWeather.com Community Director Jesse Ferrell says that
the forums are abuzz about this potential for extreme cold
next week in the Northeast. He has a blog showing maps and
data from the GFS, which says that New York City will be the
coldest in at least 14 years.

Forum on the cold weather

Computer models shown on the Community blog show just how
cold the weather will be next week.

Growing Concern for Potential Snowstorms Next Week

AccuWeather.com is keeping a close eye on the potential for
snowstorms to develop along the leading edge of the arctic
blasts next week.

The first shot of arctic air could help spawn a major
snowstorm over New England and Atlantic Canada Tuesday into
Wednesday. A storm accompanying the second arctic blast
could return significant snow from the Midwest to the
Northeast's major cities later in the week.

The exact details of these storms will become clearer in
the upcoming days. Pinpointing the exact track of storms
that are several days away is difficult as storms have a
high potential of shifting course or may fail to take shape.


One aspect of the long-range forecast that has raised the
confidence level slightly here at AccuWeather.com is that
models have recently been consistent on showing a snowstorm
impacting a part of the Northeast on Tuesday.
