For a solid week, I’ve been studying the models closely at what could be a rare, even historic late summer snowstorm for Iceland. The models had a low forming over the Davis Straits and swinging across Greenland, picking up bitterly cold air as it did, then deepened it on approach to Iceland late this week and weekend. That […]

Written by on August 29, 2013 in Rest of Europe, United Kingdom & Ireland with 0 Comments

The latest run of the ECMWF has very little change with the Icelandic storm this weekend. Cold air, wind and snow all remain on the table. The one slight shift is minimum pressure which is up nearer 980mb over Iceland but this is a marginal difference. The 5,000ft temps remain at 0C or lower as the storm passes and northerly winds look just […]

Just last year on Sept 15th, a rare, even unprecedented snowstorm struck northern parts of the Nordic Isle, killing many sheep and cutting off my northern residents and visitors.
