Thunderstorms in Iceland are VERY unusual.

But the Friday afternoon forecast calls for the possibility!
As I mentioned on HeartfeltRadio(.com) on Thursday morning, I heard my first Red-Winged Blackbird yesterday afternoon as the sun tried to peek through the clouds. Red-Winged Blackbirds are a truer harbinger of spring since these feathered friends DO migrate south for the winter and usually won’t appear in Ohio until the worst weather of winter is done. Break out the party favors!
The front half of this weekend will feature a mild breeze, BUT the second half (Sunday) will welcome another rush of cold air now pushing into the upper midwest.

After all, it is still February.




While there will be some breaks in the intense cold, the overall pattern in North America, especially the eastern 2/3 of the USA, will continue to average colder than normal. Here is the latest when’s the loft forecast for the next 16 days.
