A cold night to ring in the New Year

From the National Weather Service in Marquette...A north flow of cold air developing over the Upper Great Lakes today will persist through the weekend between arctic high pressure in the northern Plains and deepening low pressure off the New England coast. As this cold air crosses the relatively warm waters of Lake Superior, persistent lake effect snow showers will produce significant snowfall totals over western and north central Upper Michigan to start the new year.

It will be a nippy night to ring in the New Year. To our favor the winds will not be blustery.

Thumbing through the Old Farmer's Almanac, I noticed they predicted COLD for our region from the first through the seventh. Not a bad forecast, since we are typically cold this time of year. We sometimes refer to these forecasts as experiential. Been there; seen that.

A couple inches of wet snow are possible for the Big Apple today. Cool temperatures on tap this evening as the ball drops in Time Square.

Find a warm spot to celebrate the end of the decade or the start of a new one.
