Current US snow cover sits at OVER 50%, a value that would be above normal even for Christmas never mind BEFORE Thanksgiving. As well as the enormous snowpack that’s largely built-up in just the last 5 days, we’ve got an historically cold air mass to go with it. According to Ryan Maue, this morning is said to be […]
Before we get to the potential fun and games of next weekend and threats of a frost, freeze and even snowstorm, we have MAJOR end of October heat over the Plains currently and it’s thanks to a strong storm driving into the Pacific Northwest. The initial 500mb chart shows the trough deepening over the West Coast where it’s wet […]
Well it would appear we may have a much anticipated hemisphere wide pressure shift on the way as modelling, the NAO/AO and stratospheric temps all showing colder times ahead. North America has taken the brunt of the mid-latitude cold over the past month with far less over Europe but that may be about to change […]
What an incredible storm system we’ve seen and are seeing with huge variation of wild weather over North America. From snow in Texas to severe weather across Arkansas and Mississippi to the biggest ice storm in years across Southern Ontario, northern Vermont and New Hampshire, heavy snow and drifting over northern Maine all the way to Newfoundland. To top […]
A vigorous upper low is swinging across Southern California bringing heavy showers, gusty winds and heavy mountain snows surrounding the LA basin tonight. Moisture streaming out ahead of the upper low up into the Intermountain West is bringing heavy snows as far north as Salt Lake causing disruption to road and air traffic. That system will push […]
Though not the greatest snowstorm ever to strike the Northeast, the swath of snow which did fall across the Lower Midwest and particularly the Northeast was enough to set new daily snowfall records. As much as 18 inches fell Boston’s 6.4 inches was a record for December 17. It’s been a cold and snowy December from […]
We have a truly wild next 14 day period across the Lower 48 and the wild stuff has begun over the Pacific Northwest, Rockies and by tomorrow, the Dakotas with a low which is drawing on some of the coldest air not seen in some time. The combination of warm air flowing north up through the Rockies, […]
After a few days of spectacular and very rare levels of cold for so early, we watch closely the developing storm that’s poised to push up the East Coast in the coming days bringing a howling coastal gale, heavy, flooding rain and yes snow. That’s the same system which produced record snowfall in Oklahoma where over a […]
