Extensive snowfall in the south was in full swing on January 28. For example, on the morning of January 28, Wuhan, Hubei Province, was already covered with heavy snow. Data from the Anhui Meteorological Observatory shows that as of January 28, snow has fallen across the board south of the Huai River in Anhui Province, and more than 10 centimeters of snow has appeared at the Jinzhai site. With the beginning of snow in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, in the Yangtze River Delta on the evening of January 28, the snow transfer process in many parts of the Yangtze River Delta was officially launched, and on the evening of January 28, snowflakes began to drift to Jiading in the western suburbs of Shanghai.
Although the snow came smaller than expected, many southern netizens were disappointed, but for production and life and the Spring Festival, this is actually a good thing. At a time when widespread rain and snow are unfolding in many parts of the continent, more intense weather is brewing in the United States in the Western Hemisphere - according to the latest forecast of the supercomputer model, just this weekend, the eastern part of the United States will face blizzard weather, the northeast will face severe blizzards, and boston will be the center of the blizzard, there will be super super heavy snow. At present, the amount of snowfall given by the supercomputer in Boston is between 90-107 centimeters, and new York is an ordinary super snowstorm with about 35 centimeters of snowfall. Of course, the amount of snowfall in the United States is converted according to the ideal state of precipitation into snow, and cannot be simply equated with the mainland snowfall standard in the millimeters of snow into water.
The main cause of this fierce snowstorm is an extratropical cyclone, and supercomputer predictions suggest that as cold air pours south in the United States at mid- to high latitudes, a fierce confrontation between cold and warm-heating masses will eventually induce an extratropical cyclone, and around January 30, the center of the extratropical cyclone will be near Boston in the northeastern United States. Within this extratropical cyclone, the cold and warm groups will collide fiercely, throwing a large amount of snow on its north and west sides to land in many northeastern U.S. states, New York and Boston will be under the influence of extratropical cyclone blizzards, and Boston, located near the center of the extratropical cyclone, will face a fierce blizzard.
According to the predictions of existing supercomputers, the depth of snow near Boston after the blizzard may exceed 50 centimeters, which may be the strongest snowstorm in the region since 2022. Some netizens have to ask: Is this La Niña going crazy in the world? La Niña may indeed cause climate disruption on a global scale, but this is more immediately likely to mean that there is a trend of intense transverse circulation activity in the Northern Hemisphere, and the continents also need to be careful of extreme weather.
