You know by now that it’s been COLD this month. Well for 7 cities, it’s not just been the coldest February but the coldest of any month since records began and that’s pretty remarkable. We’re likely to never see another February like this one. Especially since the records which have fallen go back 70 to […]
In today’s post I want to look at the bigger, broader picture. Look at the drivers which bring us the type of winter’s and summer’s we get. Why was winter 2011-12 and 2013-14 a no show while 2009-10 and 2010-11 brutal. Why were the last two summer’s good compared to the previous 6?

It’s been rather stormy well to our south in recent days. Check out these incredible images of 7 metre waves battering the North Coast of Spain near Santander yesterday.

My drive up to Fort William was relatively uneventful until I past by the Bridge of Orchy and took the climb up into Rannoch Moor. The A82 quickly become snow covered and with the exposure to wind, blowing and some minor drifting brought the traffic flow to a crawl and even stand still over Rannoch […]
Remember back to Nov 1 and the mention of potential of a ‘super arctic outbreak’ this winter?? Well it may not be Jan 1985 but this February will go down as one of the worst in Eastern US history. For some, monthly, for others, all-time record lows are being set. At the very least, for millions stretching from Michigan […]
I am out all day today so today’s write-up was in fact put together late last night but I would rather have something rather than nothing. Here was the snowy scene on the A82 and A9 last night.
