Okay, now I know what you were asking.  No, there isn't anything regular about storms at this time of year.
Actually, it's only been in the last 5-6 years that you could expect this time of year to be cold.  I managed garden centers for years.  Here, that bus. also sells Christmas trees, natural garlands and greens, etc. I would always rent a refrig. truck to store them, as it was always too warm to keep them out, and you would end up with a bunch of dead stuff.
Certainly there were exceptions.  Thanksgiving 1990, I had to get my butt out of bed and go plow 4-6 inches of snow.  But that was unusual. [profitable, but unusualBig smile]

Finally snowed here, too, along with sub-zero temps.

A minor inconvenience that will soon pass.

We've just got to love that "Global Warming!" LOL

By the way, just what was the level of Sea Ice in the Artic Circle in the past year? Are the Polar Bears still treading water?

You have snow? 
It's not even freezing in the Netherlands yet, which makes me glad because when the streets get slippery I will be in trouble because I go everywhere by bike.

And even if it snows it won't be much. Seasons here are always a mild version of the stereo-type.

It's snowing now here in Jersey.  Just a "dusting".  It's supposed to turn over to rain by 4P.  It shouldn't effect the Eagles-Lions game much.  Both teams are used to playing in the cold.
 
I just kicked the fire some and brought in some more wood, so it can do what it wants, I"m good.Wink

I have never seen a football game played in 8" of snow, I have now.  It was snowing so hard you couldn't read the numbers on the Jerseys for most of the 1st quarter.  The Eagles won, that's good.  What's bad is, our dusting turned into about 6 inches.

MORE SNOW!
 
Most of the snow that fell sunday melted off yesterday.  However, it's snowing again and accums of 4-6" are forcast.  Another storm is expected for sat.
 
This much snow before January is very unusual.

Last weekend we had 10 inches of snow.  Monday the Arctic Vortex moved in and we had temps around 4F with wind chills at -15F.  The temp difference from sunday to monday am was 61F.
 
The big problem has been the ice on the rivers.  The CG had to bring in an ice breaker to break up the Ice Dams just south of Trenton.  Above Trenton the Army Corp of Engineers were using explosives to break them up.
 
Right now we are getting freezing rain.  Everything is glazed over.  Many main roads are closed.
 
This is some of the whackiest weather I have ever seen for this area.  The Highway Depts have used more salt so far than in both of the past 2 years, and winter isn't over.
