There is some interesting trends and findings from this study and what I’ve learned from the last two winters which have had strikingly similar SST profiles and mean upper height anomalies. SST […]
What a difference 10 days makes in March with higher sun angle and increase in solar energy reaching the surface. Even on frigid days that may be well well below freezing, melting still occurs. March opened brutal with over 63% of the Lower 48 snow covered with all but Florida with at least some snow. Today it’s […]
When looking closely at the SSTA’s globally, it’s actually amazing to see just how alike early March this year is to last year at the same time and how similar the atmospheric setup is in response with extreme cold eastern US and continued unsettled theme over the UK, warm across much of Europe with a lack of blocking […]
