Today’s National Wx Hazards
A MAJOR winter storm impacts the eastern US today. This is the most powerful winter storm to affect this area in years. Ice storm conditions begin across western North Carolina and stretch into western Virginia. Father north, the cold air becomes thick enough for all snow….12-18+ inches of it! Travel will be a nightmare across that region today and tonight.
Tomorrow’s National Wx Hazards
Our big Nor’easter in the eastern US begins moving out to sea, but not before dumping heavy snowfall on new England.
Weather Shots
The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore snapped this pic this morning in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Red sky in morning…. He’s there waiting on the most powerful winter storm in years to impact that area later today.
NASA Nerdology
A dark storm on Neptune has reversed direction in a process that we have never before seen. The Hubble telescope spotted the change. I’m sure LOTS of research will be done on this. Nevertheless, if blue is your favorite color Neptune has GOT to be your favorite planet! What a beauty!
