Evacuations Issued! Bad Things to Come! Winter Weather Warfare Live! Analysis

AccuWeather’s long-range team has been alerting its followers to abnormally cold weather for the latter part of January into February in its winter forecast issued months earlier.

People who have been saving money on heat during the first part of this winter may see that savings wiped out in the upcoming pattern, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said.

Snow removal crews are likely to be busy, so expect some more snow days across the Northeast through the end of January and into February as the pattern appears be loaded with the potential for major winter storms.

“In the wake of the weekend storm, much colder, Arctic air is projected to plunge southward across the eastern half of the nation and reach the Gulf Coast states with freezing temperatures,” Pastelok said.

The coldest weather of the winter so far will blast into the region on Sunday and Monday and is likely to be quite a shock. Slush and wet areas will rapidly freeze, so quick removal of fallen snow is encouraged.
