Winter on the Plate

Brrrr. A full course of winter is in store for the next few days. For a morning amuse bouche we've got great gobs of cold air, brutally grown without sun in northern Canada, arriving behind a cold front. The onrush of cold should cause the temperature to hold steady for much of the day. The approaching high pressure system is pretty weak. By late afternoon we should see an appetizer of calmer winds and a slightly higher temperatures.

For a salad how would you like snow raised in the Ohio Valley and dressed over the Atlantic? 1-3 inches of fluffy snow is expected between midnight tonight and tomorrow noon as a storm moves south of the city.

The main course arrives after the storm. The entrée is a simple dish of frigid air served on the bed of snow. Friday is likely to start in the single digits, with wind chills well below zero, and warm into the delightful teens. Saturday will only be a couple of degrees warmer. Both days should be sunny.

For dessert we offer the choice between another snowstorm early next week, or this charming video of a cat walking onto the set during a German television weather forecast.

    Be thankful our natural gas hasn't been cut off by a pissing war between Russia and Ukraine.

    YUM! can I order a side order of bludgeoning hail?

    Steven, thanks for the reminder. The 16th to 21st are, on average, the coldest days of the year.



    Jen, I love how he picks the cat up and keeps on giving the forecast, unlike the guy linked to on that page who freaks out when he sees a roach.

    Joe, isn't this week into the weekend the coldest time of the year? (looking at the average highs and lows of the day)

  • Aha! That's what our American TV meteorologists are missing: CATS.

    The first weather report ever that made me hungry. Witty.
