| As this projected weather map shows, two very strong storms on Wednesday will disrupt Thanksgiving travel across much of the United States. |
However, the light snow and rain that forecasters thought would develop in the Champlain Valley never materialized.
From Burlington north, it was a dark, gloomy Sunday with a heavy, thick overcast, but no precipitation fell. (It gave me a chance to do a little work outdoors, which was nice.)
That storm's gone, but it looks like Thanksgiving week travel is going to be a challenge for much of the United States.
The first storm will travel from the central Rockies, through the middle of the Plains and into the Great Lakes Wednesday. This will lay down a stripe of heavy snow from Denver to Minneapolis to the northwestern Great Lakes Tuesday through Wednesday. That will cause a lot of problems and flight delays for sure.
Here in Vermont, that storm will give us a slug of of rain Wednesday and Wednesday night, followed by mostly light snow, gusty winds and cold weather on Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile a beast of a storm is due to crash ashore in Oregon Tuesday night with its own package of strong winds, snow and rain on the West Coast. The storm will reorganize over the southern Rockies and then emerge over the Plains late in the week, so the trip home from wherever your going will be a challenge, too. It looks like that one will be a big, disruptive coast-to-coast storm.
No rest of the weary.
So, with that in mind, I found this odd little video from a guy in Norway who is a bit enthusiastic about the onset of winter. Certainly more than me.
Clad only in black underwear, he cleans off his car, drives to a frozen bath tub, cuts up the ice with a chain saw and relaxes in that icy tub. It's apparent that copious amounts of vodka are helping with this. And for some reason he's got a little doll to help him out with this adventure.
In other words, DON'T try this at home. But the video is oddly entertaining nevertheless. Watch:
