Very interesting weather in the states. https://www.accuweather.com/en/videos/expert-forecasts/storm-to-wallop-us-east-coast-with-snow-blizzard-conditions/rrnhzqyte6vho8jf_-rhi9xuduyaq704
Woah! Wait a sec - didn't this winter storm/nor easter just come out of nowhere?!? The accu weather forecast for NYC (yesterday for today and tomorrow) was for flurries and dustings not winter storms and blizzards ha!?
Did they mis forecast this?

Oh and it's snowing in Tallahassee, Florida for the first time in decades: Now the temp is -3c as I type.https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/tallahassee-fl/32301/weather-forecast/328170
So much for the La Nina and a drier and warmer southern USA hahaha! Classic classic! NOT!
Some parts of the southern and eastern states (even on gulf coast) will be 20' degrees below average ! Just imagine this in the UK? If our average for January is +6 or +7c, I couldn't imagine a -16 or a -17c during the day. I friends have gone to Florida to expect warm humid tropical weather not freezing weather with sub-zero daytime temps and snow! haha

Eh, that's in northern Florida. Tallahassee has fallen to -18C before. It's still high teens in Miami, recovering to the 20s by the weekend.

How about 'bombogenesis'? Can't say I've heard that one before :-)https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/what-is-bombogenesis-weather-bomb
That's a pretty well established term AFAIK. It just means a deepening of more than 24mb in 24 hours.
And this winter storm has bombed by 24mb in just seven hours
Depressing weatherwise living in the U.K a crap climate for all seasons, no wonder we wanted to conquer the world back in the day. 😂😂
I think it's safe to say that freezing cold and snow was probably the very last reason anyone wanted to go to America back in ye old days.
Just looking at snowfall depth totals in NYC:http://abc7ny.com/weather/snow-totals-how-much-snow-has-fallen-in-the-nyc-area/2861324/
10" is about the average in all that - quite a dumping but not significant or major record amounts by NYC standards when they have seen 2 or 3 ft of sno before also that snow should cause too much disruption as it's dry and powdery snow so i doubt there would be any icy roads either as it has been sub zero there for over a week now!

but in deg F (F/C equivalents 32/0, 23/-5, 14/-10, 5/-15)
Its affected a huge area.
I noticed even in the Bahamas near Nassau a min temperature of 8c (46f) and a max temperature of 23c (73f) was recorded yesterday as the cold wave pushed a very long way south.
The average min/ max is closer to 18/30.
