Situated 10,500ft at the peak of the Greenland sheet, the permanently manned research site of Summit Station shivered to record cold levels while much of the surrounding hemisphere was record warm. Typically, when there’s a positive Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillation present, Greenland is coldest while the continents are relatively mild. On January 2, 2020, […]
February 2019 was record breaking month for warmth, cold, snow, rain and event wind. Parts of Western Canada haven’t seen a February as cold since the Great Depression. Here’s the 2-metre temperature anomaly for February across the US. Check out how many locations have just observed their snowiest February on record and how far reaching. […]
It’s been quite the month for Moline, Illinois setting not one but two very significant weather records. Situated on a bluff between the banks of the Mississippi and Rock River.
