The blue blob in the center of the screen is supposed to represent snow. It's along the Armenia Mountain Ridge. It's been there for at least five freakin' days. Now, during the last four days it was, indeed, snowing to some extent along the ridge. I know because the Aerie is on the western edge of that effing blue blob. However, today it is not only NOT snowing but the sun is shining brightly! I believe that blue blob has been so persistent that the weather.com radar has had it burned into their screens permanently.
On the temperature front, it was just 8 degrees at the Aerie this morning at 7:30 AM. It's now "up" to 9.0 degrees in the 10 AM sunshine. Tonight is supposed to be even colder.
Terry saw on the news this morning that it was 13 degrees in Elmira, NY, just a short distance to the northeast. At the same time they reported it was 12 degrees overnight in New Orleans, Louisiana. And there was snow and freezing rain as far south as the Tampa Area of Florida. I wonder if the Florida forecasters have ever had to use the phrase, "..and there will be snow in the higher elevations."
The news also showed footage of the ice rinks that were the Atlanta, Georgia roads with all the comedy gold of slipping and sliding southern motorists.
[UPDATE: You have GOT to be kidding me! THere is not a cloud in the sky and yet...
the infamous Blue Blob is still there!]

Hmmm, I don't think they have higher elevations...or not very much higher anyhow. lol
Threecollie beat me to the remark. Florida's so flat it has holes, rather than hills.
My friends in Deltona FL are freaking out, though. It was 24 at their place this morning.
Jeez, guys! It was a joke! I know Florida is a flat place.
From Ask.com:
The highest point in Florida is Britton Hill, a hill located near Lakewood, Florida, in the Florida panhandle about 2 miles from the Florida/Alabama border. It has an elevation of 345 feet above sea level.
