I don't know why you keep saying it's coming from Siberia. It's coming right out of Canada. -30ºC this morning and looking to be even colder on the weekend.
At least we don't have the snow that we did last year.
Gotta' head down to the weekly Farmer's Market directly, Jim. Trying to decide which light cotton shirt to wear's a beotch. .....high of 78* forecast today here.
Condolences,

Look at the global pattern, Grouseman. When the lows in Siberia are in the east, the jet stream is pushed up into the Arctic before plunging down through mid-Canada and thence into mid-USA.
The normal oscillation of that Siberian low moves it a thousand miles east and west. When it's towards the west, the storm track also shifts west, bringing winter storms down from the Aleutians right down the west coast and through the Rockies.
This year, the damn thing has been "stuck" to the east, near the Kamchatka peninsula. So all the storms have tracked to OUR east, as well.

Well we got another 8 inches of snow coming by the week end, here in CT- last night lows was around zero, in East Haddam, tonight down to 5 below and with the wind chill down to the mid minus 20's! Its on track to be the coldest and the most snow in February since they been keeping records! I got over 3 feet of snow on my property right now, I expect that there will be another foot added to that before spring breaks and we start to see a warming trend!

OIDabble: Its +53 here in SW Montana now and its not even to the "hot" part of the day yet! Hope you will fare well. Be careful. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
It has topped out at 2 degrees I think. I shot a squirrel at my bird feeder this morning my gloves had to come off to skin him and clean him. It will be awhile before I will want to do that again.
We've got yo-yo weather. Minus 14 at 7AM then warmed to 14 by now (3PM). Forecast high 32 tomorrow, -2 for Sunday, then 24 for Monday.
Harbinger of spring when patterns here start shifting like that. For North America the patterns have been unusual this year but hoping the yo-yo-ing still foretells spring.

time to put the short sleeve shirts away and break out a light jacket it would seem.
enjoy the balmy temps
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
Jan 31, 2013 a buddy called with a desire to head out for some steelhead fly angling on New Years days. It was -32F and it felt much warmer if one stayed chest deep in the river fighting off rig-sized ice paddies.
We did not catch anything.
With my first exposure to the NW in the mid 60's, I saw people wading the Skagit River in Wa with snow over the entire landscape in December. I speculated at the time that they must be crazy and nothing was worth that experience. I've now confirmed that.
This year we are having absolute beach weather here in the PNW. I really wish it would snow and rain.
I know what you're saying. I had to change into shorts and a T-shirt by 1:00 PM today here in northern NV. Fortunately about 6-7 cottontails are keeping the grass mowed.
It's been the warmest winter on record so far here, and one of the driest. I wish you eastern guys could ship a bunch of that snow out west.
