Feelin quite cold in southern Trumpistan with all that cold arctic air that our “free” Canadian neighbors sent southward. But whatcha gonna do? Ban cold air? Rename it? Pretend it doesn’t exist? GFY’s

High latitude blocking forces arctic air southeast especially through the Rockies and Plains ending up in mid-section of the nation early next week. Shown – modelled for Monday Afternoon.

What happens in droughty dry conditions, even in suburban areas, with excessively strong Santa Ana (katabatic) winds. All you need is a spark and its off to extreme combustion. Super tragic for NW. Los Angeles area.

Cold northwesterly flow steered around Maritime low pressure without much change over the next 54 hours or so. Most of it NW. Vermont upsloping locations where Winter Winter Advisory continues. Not much change ahead. Weather pattern “Locked In”

Across the pond – UK snow. 1-6-25
What do you notice right off…its not that it’s regional but fairly widespread, Midwest, into the Northeast seeing the most. But, there are no cold records. This is not being picked up much by the Mainstream Media, or otherwise, and some are frankly “omitting” this information. This is when politics and science collide – and it appears that an overheating planet – is now POLITICALLY CORRECT much like the state of Florida and their “Sunny day Flooding” due to sea level rise.

Note to all — Weather has now become so jointed with extreme right-wing politics, I fear data loss/omission is just starting. What next with MAGA NOAA – no “Heat Warnings/Advisories, omission of high-temperature records, and on and on due to the “political chill” of source GHG’s.
What have we become? How does this serve 99% of us? We are not even ready for the 20th of January yet. Politics at the federal level – is what I’ve experienced in my 50 plus years in meteorology 3 US Army, 12 NWS, but only much more subtly. Now it’s wide open, bought and paid for by oligarchy.
