Wintry December 23-26 2022 Winter Weather and Cold

[Pup12]

So will places in the southeast with large lakes see lake effect snow showers out of this?

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

NWS Raleigh going for windchill value in the negatives now

 

[POWERSTROKE]

Plumbers delight. They will be charging extra for Christmas emergencies.

turn a faucet on to drip or slightly run and you will be fine

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

That 48hr trend in the Pacific Northwest is just plain dog water

 

[POWERSTROKE]

The GFS may be close for you Carolina guys.

when is GFS ever right? Been watching it for many years and winter time is not the gfs strong suit

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

I think the craziest thing along with temperatures will be frequent strong wind gusts. NWS Raleigh shooting for frequent 40-45 mph gusts with a period of 50-55 mph gusts associated with the front. That’s going to rival Ian. We’re going to have some power outage issues I would suspect.

I would not be shocked if it did.. I have seen it before with the Lakes in the Tennessee Valley and also from Lake Lanier in N GA.

What are suggestions for people in a manufactured home like myself? Anything I should do differently?

I agree with wind impacts. I remember when the Christmas Artic Blast of 1983 came through, the wind just kept blowing all day that Saturday. (Christmas Eve) . Fortunately no power loss, but also it had been dry for a good bit preceding it. This time with the wet soils from last few weeks issues could be more significant.

We had lots of trees loosened up by the tropical season too

Yes, if the angle is just right. If it's off by as little as 5 degrees it can make a big difference is some places.

 

[LickWx]

Wonder what the death toll will be from this arctic front. I think 2021s Texas front killed over 100. Going to be a rough few nights. Brr

Do you have a way to keep warm if your power goes out ?

 

[tucker]

-10 to -20 wind chills for Chattanooga per Morristown

 

[EmersonGA]

Yes, if the angle is just right. If it's off by as little as 5 degrees it can make a big difference is some places.

With a westerly wind the lakes in North Alabama may be able to produce.

NWS has temperatures around 2 here by lunch tomorrow. It's 49 right now... I've seen it coming for a week and I'm still struggling to imagine it lol

 

[cyclogent]

21z RAP says hello. just like the HRRR, it has subzero temps getting into far northern MS, AL, and GA Friday morning. ?

Fortunately no power loss, but also it had been dry for a good bit preceding it. This time with the wet soils from last few weeks issues could be more significant.

I remember from the 1980 cold snaps losing gas every time the temp dropped to the single digits due to the gas pressure. Central air home so no heat during the cold snaps. And yes it would take days sometimes over a week for the pressure to build back up to get heat again in the houses. I think they do better with the gas pipes and pressure now.

 

[tucker]

It looks like the HRRR and RAP are on par with the cold. What we saw in WY and out west just shows how powerful this cold is.

I own a manufactured home as well. I’m dripping all faucets through the weekend. It’s well insulated but the rooms away from the center of my home tend to get a little cooler so I’ll prob run my infrared heater as well. This should be the coldest it has been for my house since I bought it in 2017.
