Winter 2014/15
ECMWF expands the eastern US glacier further as cold remains firm. That’s despite the fact we’re ending ‘meteorological winter’. December and January may have been a disappointment but boy isn’t Feb catching up! TOP IMAGE CREDIT: Newsday [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] This pattern has been nothing short of incredible but what’s more amazing is that there’s cross model agreement that […]
After a cold, frosty overnight, the next front is now pushing in. As the moisture bumps up against the cold air, so snowfall is occurring above 150-200 metres with mixing down to lower levels. It’s sleeting here in Lennoxtown with snow falling in the hills to my north as I write. If your travelling the higher road […]
The past 5 days has produced some of the worst cold seen this late in the season over the Eastern US and it ain’t over. ECMWF snowfall through the next 48 hrs. 7 days. 10 days. Note the southward extent and the Northeast where they’ve been hit hardest!! TOP IMAGE CREDIT: Max Guliani (Follow him: @maximusupinNYc) Further […]
You may have woken this morning to a hard, ‘icy’ frost or even at light dusting of snow. That’s because we’re on the backside (cold side) of a frontal system associated with the latest low. Over the next week or more, we have a series of lows heading our way and these will bring the return to […]
This morning marked day two of this exceptionally cold period in which many communities woke to subzero lows. It’s rare to see such vast coverage of real estate in this severity of cold. 25-35 below normal. So cold that Lynchburg, VA set a NEW all-time record low. Yesterday, for some, was one of the coldest […]
The extreme cold covering eastern North America is fuelling an exceptionally powerful jet stream over the Atlantic and in turn, storms are frequent and strong. This sets up a fairly wild setup for Ireland and the UK. Check out the initial (oohr) 850mb temp gradient. As a result the jet rounds the bend of the eastern US […]
The extreme cold talked about here for days, even weeks is now firmly established over the Eastern US. Records lows went all the way to the Gulf Coast this morning but tonight is sure to be even colder with a shot at 0 degrees from NYC down to DC for the first time since February 1994. […]

For the Mid-Atlantic, it was all about the cold yesterday AM while this AM it’s all about the snow and the biggest snow (and ice) system of winter. After a uniform 3-6″ accumulation, the system is now exiting the DC-Baltimore and Philly area and pushing up through North Jersey and NYC. Here was a radar view from overnight […]
We may not be heading into a significant winter pattern by any means by the collapse of the southern ridge will at least bring spells of cold on the backside of a much more active Atlantic pattern fuelled by extreme cold on the other side of the Atlantic.
