Snow Hits New England for 3rd Day

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Snow fell across parts of New England for the third day in a row Wednesday, adding to last month's record accumulations and closing schools.

Flurries also extended into the Ohio Valley, and some children had an extra holiday as classes were canceled in parts of West Virginia and Ohio.

Temperatures fell to freezing levels as far south as the Florida Panhandle, and wind chill readings were below zero in parts of northern Kentucky.

Following the snowiest December on record, many areas of New Hampshire got about a foot of snow on New Year's Day, with a couple of inches added during the night and a couple more likely Wednesday. Storm totals could reach 18 inches in parts of Maine and New Hampshire and up to a foot in Vermont.

The latest snowfall in New England followed a storm on Monday that made for the area's snowiest December in decades. December's snowfall at Concord, N.H., totaled 44.5 inches, toppling a record of 43 inches that had stood since 1876. Burlington, Vt., got 45.7 inches, far above its 17.2-inch December average, and Portland, Maine, amassed 37.7 inches for its third-snowiest December on record.

"It's been unbelievable. It just keeps coming," said Bill Swain, spokesman for Maine's Sugarloaf USA ski area, which got 70 inches of snow in December.

The snowfall delayed the start of the 2008 state legislative session in Augusta, Maine, from Wednesday morning until the afternoon.

Snow is forecasted in Daytona Beach tonight, with frost and freeze advisories as far south as South Beach.

Everyone down here in Florida is freezing, as one of the coldest nights on record is expected overnight.

I was already to laugh at you. I live in Tampa and I am freezing right now!

Of course, I'd rather be here than in Maine or Boston.

Anyone got a good jacket I can borrow?

I have many jackets, since I travel to the NE all the time....what size you need? I will bring it up on the motorcycle!

Come on up. A large men's jacket, but I was kidding anyway. I have a couple of jackets and pull over sweaters that will keep me warm enough and I think tonight will be perfect for a fire in the fireplace. I have lived in this house for eight years and I think it has been cold enough for a fire 3 times since I moved here.

Unfortunately, I have a really nice flight jacket from my Coast Guard days, well last time I tried to put it on, I could not even get my arms in the sleeves let alone even think of zipping it up.

Yup, the northeastern US represents the whole global climate...

Hmm. Did you miss these two sentences?

I think it was JohnDoe that told me that Global Warming would actually cause extreme temperature variations ie more hurricanes, hotter summer time weather and colder winter weather, due to climate conditions. I wonder if she got that information from "An Inconvenient Truth".

It seems to me that this gives the G.W.'s an out when Florida freezes over... how convenient.

Please tell me that you don't believe these regions put together make up the entire global climate.

How could I have missed your original post, when I quoted it in mine?

And you did not say "these regions put together". You said:

[Gadget (fmr Marine)]

Don't forget about the predicted 2 most (in)active hurricane seasons on record (that should account for almost 1/6 of the earth....you know from Africa to the gulf of Mexico.....

I thought that global warming was going to make for the most destructive hurricanes the planet has ever seen for the last couple years.

True: I was replying to red-spam-sucks, who started a now-merged thread about the northeast.

So let's try again, m'kay? The U.S. aside, are GLOBAL winter temperatures unseasonably cold this year? Yes or no?

[Trigg]

We got around 3-4 inches of snow New Years Eve and the temp is 8 right now and that's without windchill.

Beautiful though with the snow blowing around, and the sun is out.

Don't know offhand, but why would we put US temps aside, when we are purportedly so much to blame for the problem? Regardless of other countries, shouldn't temps here be significantly increasing?
