Scotland After a fairly mild weekend, today has seen a much cooler day with the return of cold highs of 2-4C but at least the sun has been shinning and winds light. Clear skies, light winds and a cold air mass in place means another widespread and hard frost. Lows in towns and cities will fall to […]
There is good agreement that the next 4 days will be cold throughout the UK and Ireland thanks to a high out over the Atlantic and a low to the east over Europe. A northerly flow will feed some of the coldest air to date down into a high that will dominate much of the upcoming […]
A major snowstorm and backlash blizzard is unfolding across the Dakotas. While 1-3 inches will fall across a large swath of Montana and the Dakotas, the core of heaviest snows will fall across central Minnesota eastwards into Wisconsin. From the north Minneapolis suburbs up towards the Duluth area as much as 6-14 inches of snow can […]
There is a war going on with the models with wild swings for particularly the UK from extreme cold to mild conditions late next week. The reason for the wild swings is clear, the NAO/AO index is rapidly changing and heading into the tank. Remember that the NAO is currently positive and there is excellent agreement that it will […]
Europe’s Growing Snowpack Will Allow A Less Modified Siberian Express Into The UK! (Includes Video!)
As expected, we’re beginning to hear more and more about the snow and cold affecting Europe. For weeks now I have been saying how Europe will turn much colder as the snowpack grows and this was long before models showed this. Without sounding arrogant, this appears to be a good call and this forecast is separated from most […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland Today marked a substantial change from recent days as a push of milder air lifted temperatures this afternoon towards 7 or 8C in the West and where snow lies, about 4 or 5C. A strong SW wind certainly knocked the edge off those readings though, feeling pretty chilly in the stiff wind. Through tonight and winds […]
The next 2 weeks will see a dramatic turnaround across the US with the southward advance of extremely cold air. The step down transition kicks in this weekend with arctic air dropping into the Rockies and as we enter next week, a secondary, stronger lobe drops out of Canada. Look out as the trough deepens […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland While snowfall to low levels didn’t materialise today as expected in western parts due to a deeper layer of mild air in the mid-levels and that milder air being too close to the ground for liquid precip to change over to snow before hitting the ground. Up over higher ground in the Highlands, Grampians and Southern […]
While this month has a long way to go and things can change.. it would appear the general consenses in the models all point to snowier and colder times THROUGHOUT Europe and the UK and to put it bluntly, so much for the ‘mild December’ many thought would happen. As I’ve kept harping on about now for […]
While the Lower 48 basks in warmth, those days are numbered for the East and have ended further west. Many are doubting this winter, asking whether it will ever truely get here given that we’re now into December and we’ve seen the warmest opening three days on record. I urge you to look at the big picture […]
