Extreme Weather
Rain, snow, and subzero temperatures are plaguing the U.S.
In the NE, coastal Maine is experiencing historic flooding.
Here in our Blue Ridge, NC, mountain community, torrential rains caused our local waterfall to become a muddy raging force. In the valley below, our access road nearly became impassable due to the rising creek.
Extreme cold weather in the nation’s midwest has caused power outages in entire counties during the deadly subzero temperatures.
Even professional football has felt the effects. KC Quarterback Mahomes suffered an unexpected helmet crack during the Chiefs vs. Dolphins game, played in record-breaking chilling temperatures: at kickoff it was minus-4 degrees F with a wind chill of minus-27.
Monday afternoon, even after a one-day snow delay, the Bills vs. Steelers game will still be plagued by drifts in parking lots and snow-filled seating. Paid locals have been shoveling the seats and bleachers for 24 hours, and many fans will still have to stand in knee-deep snow.
As the Midwest and East (from the SE to the NE) struggle with inclement weather, NOAA forecasters tell us another set of fronts are coming. Click the link to see the latest information.
I hope all of you are staying warm and dry. We will be watching the playoff game from the comfort of our great room.
