humble3d Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 EARLIEST SNOWFALL ON RECORD IN SD 7 inches of snow reported in Black Hills Summer snow covers ground in Denver There already are unconfirmed reports of 7 inches of snow in parts of the Black Hills in western South Dakota. Jon Chamberlain, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Rapid City, said almost 1 inch of snow had fallen in downtown Rapid City by 8:30 a.m. while 2 inches was measured in higher elevations in town. The snowfall in Rapid City is the earliest in the city since 1888, the NWS said. The NWS will be getting more information through the day, but he said they had reports of 7 inches of snow north of Custer. Heavy wet snow could lead to tree damage and power outages. See the radar and hourly forecast at ArgusLeader.com/weather. A winter storm warning is in effect until noon Thursday for the northern and central Black Hills including the cities of Lead, Deadwood, Hill City and Mount Rushmore. The NWS says many areas across far western South Dakota might experience a hard freeze by Friday morning as temperatures are expected to dip into the 20s and even teens in the Black Hills. The high will be 51 Friday, 60 on Saturday, 62 on Sunday and 67 on Monday. For road conditions call 511 or visit www.safetravelusa.com/sd/.

humble3d Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Autumnlike Chill, Frost to Grip East This WeekendFollowing a chilly rain during part of the weekend, the coolest air since the spring will settle over the Northeast Sunday night into Monday morning.Temperatures are forecast to dip into the 50s from Boston and New York City to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The last time readings were this low was during the first couple of days of June in most cases and in late May in others.The northern and western suburbs of the Interstate-95 cities will dip well down into the 40s. Cities forecast to drop into the 40s this weekend include Pittsburgh, Buffalo, New York, and Burlington, Vermont.Some locations from northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and northwestern New England will dip into the 30s. Provided skies remain clear and winds diminish, there is a risk of scattered frost for a few hours late Sunday night into Monday morning.In addition to the potential for the first frost in the normally colder locations, light winds and clearing skies overhead will allow perfect conditions for fog to form. The fog may slow the morning commute on Monday over the river valleys, especially in the Appalachians.http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/coolest-air-since-spring-to-re/33889760 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me global cooloing then...USA is the world...there is more than global warming to the climate change theory.If global warming dumps enough melted ice into some of the streams that have currents bring warm water to the coast, you can rest assured most of the world will cool up really quick and severely.

smallhagrid Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Climate change is not widely grasped - especially how heating is able to cause sudden, powerful cold at great distances.Credible or not - your call - written about here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_Global_SuperstormAlso, very dramatically made into a movie, minus most of the info: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
