From the Lee Side: Penn State's Lee Grenci now a featured wunderblogger
"From the Lee Side" is the blog of wunderground's newest featured blogger--Lee Grenci. Lee put up his first post today, an educational piece on "Arctic Air Masses." He did an earlier guest post in Angela's blog, "The science of Sandy's transition", on whether or not Sandy was a hurricane at landfall (it wasn't.) Lee resides in Pennsylvania, and just retired as senior lecturer in Meteorology at Penn State University, where he was the lead faculty member for their online certificate in weather forecasting. I've been enjoying Lee's writings for many years in Weatherwise magazine, where he is a frequent contributor. Welcome, Lee!
While I'm on the subject of featured bloggers, I want to draw attention to the latest post by TWC's Stu Ostro, "Reflections on a surreal superstorm and the 2012 hurricane season". He discusses NHC's decision not to issue Hurricane Warnings for Sandy, as well as how climate change may have influenced the storm. TWC's Bryan Norcross has also posted his take on NHC's decision not to post hurricane warnings for Sandy.

A COLD FRONT MOVED THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA OVERNIGHT AND WAS LOCATED
SOUTH OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE. LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON THEN BEGIN A SLOW CLEARING TREND NORTH TO SOUTH. A
DRIER AND COOLER AIR MASS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO
FLORIDA AND CENTRAL FLORIDA DURING THE DAY WILL RESULT IN MORE
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WITH HIGHS EXPECTED
TO BE IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S.

Who has some model runs about this
Was dead calm last night and was perfect for dew/frost to form but apparently the winds came up just enough to dry out whatever dew/frost that had formed or was forming and was absolutely dry on surfaces this AM with a light breeze out of the SE. Seen these situations plenty of times before just like this. High pressure shifts and return flow warms us up overnight.
You could have had 18 degrees with all that sun. It's cold, but at least we have no wind. I'll keep wishing for your snow to hit DC.
Will Washi get her snow from this???
Since your inland, you probably never experienced these situations have you, where the temp rises overnight, because of the high pressure shifting and SE winds pick up

ECMWF 00z 7-day forecast for Nor'easter showed 973 mb low off of New England, bent-back front extends over Boston. https://mobile.twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/2791368 37560303616/photo/1
NM SE OF CAPE HATTERAS WILL MOVE E ACROSS THE S WATERS THIS
MORNING...THEN PASS E OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WHILE PULLING A
COLD FRONT SE OF THE WATERS. A HIGH PRES RIDGE WILL BUILD IN
FROM THE NW LATE TODAY...MOVE SE ACROSS THE N PORTION FRI AND
FRI NIGHT...THEN WEAKEN ACROSS THE CENTRAL WATERS FRI NIGHT INTO
EARLY SAT. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PASS SE ACROSS THE NRN WATERS
SAT NIGHT AND STALL ACROSS THE CENTRAL WATERS SUN. A WEAK LOW
PRES CENTER MOVES E ALONG THE FRONT SUN NIGHT. STRONGER LOW PRES
WILL THEN MOVE NE OFF THE MID ATLC COAST LATE MON.

It appears to me that Evan is north and and a bit west of his forecast points is he not?

Text messages direct to your contact lens
New technology that will allow information, such as text messages from a mobile phone, to be projected onto a contact lens worn in the human eye has been developed by Belgian researchers.
Ghent University's centre of microsystems technology has developed a spherical curved LCD display which can be embedded in contact lenses and handle projected images using wireless technology.
"Now that we have established the basic technology, we can start working towards real applications, possibly available in only a few years," said Professor Herbert De Smet.
Unlike previous contact lens displays, which are limited to a few small pixels to make up an image, the new technology allows the whole curved surface of the lens to be used.
One application suggested by the researchers is a "one pixel, fully covered contact lens acting as adaptable sunglasses".
"This is not science fiction," said Jelle De Smet, the chief researcher on the project, who believes commercial applications for the lenses will be available within five years.
"This will never replace the cinema screen for films. But for specific applications it may be interesting to show images such as road directions or projecting text messages from our smart phones straight to our eye."
The innovation is the first step towards "fully pixelated contact lens displays" with the same detail as a television screen.
The lenses could also be used for medical purposes, for example to control the light transmission toward the eye's retina in case of a damaged iris.
For cosmetic purposes, the lens could be used the iris of the eye a tuneable colour, allowing the user to change it to suit their mood.
"The models are working on a strong storm for next week but still can't decide on the details".Unfortunately it seems(for now) it'll be to warm for snow(highs in the low to mid 40's).That could change..I hope.Even if we have only 2-3 inches that'll still be satisfying enough.
We'll watch radar loops and satellite loops thru our eyes, a weather nut's dream
Today's WU history report..
"Did you know that...
The coldest December weather to date of the 20th century hit the South today in 1962. Jacksonville, Fla. recorded a low of 12 degrees, while Tampa bottomed out at 35 degrees (both records). Blairsville, Ga. set a state record low for the month of December by recording a low of 9 degrees. "
Example Rankin Inlet Canada will see the temp tonight rise from -33C (-25F) to -25C (-13F) Rankin Inlet is at 62.8N
So do I.....
Apia, Samoa's largest population district (37,708) is located in the cyclones southern eye wall, which would be equivalent to our Northern Hemisphere's northern eye wall, where stronger storm winds are typically located. To make note this is causing an onshore flow to Apia which does not rise quickly in elevation has you head inland a mile or two.

I was hoping this would be a gathering of storm junkies. In the vein of Comic-Con and other nerdy conventions! ;-)
I'd go!
