active jet stream configuration

[eshort]

even tho Spring is approaching---the polar jetstream is taking a loop over the central and eastern northerly portions of the USA --which--spells very stormy weather for this portion for the next week or so-----

also--with the very warm to hot situation over the southeast vs the artic cold over eastern Canada+the jet stream config=big storm to form over Atlatic seaboard and move slowly toward the northeast----Sunday thru Tues of upcoming week!= major rain to snow storm for most of eastern seaboard during same period.

The more the jet forms a closed loop- and the more said loop is westward-the more intense/longlasting the eastern storm situation will be early week of 3/5.

Here in Boston- its been snow flurrying for 24 hours as the cold artic air is swept southward over the (relatively) warm Atlantic---this shld continue sporadically thru Sunday when the mainstorm will materialize over the central eastern seaboad and them assume the major atmospheric circulation for the next 4-7 days.

WEve been luck so far=-but this could be a BIG one!

will post more as Sunday passes!

Nothing here over the midwest right now...temps are above freezing..the snow melting...sunshine, one would think Spring has arrived:). But for all I know, we'll get another couple storms before spring really gets here.

They are hyping 10" in DC Metro. It was supposed to start at 3P Sunday and now they have pushed it to Early Monday. I hope it starts early so I can try out my new Steil blower. I saw the sand trucks on the beltway tonight. Jeepers, people go crazy around here when they hear about snow. I think it is great even if I do have to drive around in it all day! Sh.., you just take your time and remember that you are the only one on the road that has any sense!
