Happy Monday to you all. Hope your weekend was a great one. I am a happy man this morning given the fact that this is another dry week for the UK and perhaps a good sign for later down the road. As expected the air mass is warming as the cold vortex devorces from the […]
Reports are filtering out of Russia and circling various media outlets about a new all-time record set at the Northern Hemisphere’s ‘Pole of Cold’. The small settlement known for extreme cold and the coldest inhabited place on the planet, Oymyakon, appears to have broken it’s old fierce cold record of -68C (-90.4F) set back on February 6, […]
The next in a series of powerful winter storms is now crossing the Intermountain West and heading for New Mexico before crossing out onto the Plains tomorrow. While as much as 2+ feet of snow fell above 6,000ft from Washington to the Wasatch Range, below 5,000ft as much as 6 inches of snow fell in Salt Lake City, 8 over the eastern Benches and there is a possibility of a […]
It’s been one of those winter’s where we’ve had the snow and had the cold, the whole thing I would say I’ve been disappointed with is, if only we could have gotten both together. The air mass sitting over the UK this weekend is the coldest of winter, certainly when you factor in the 850mb temperatures. […]
The very active winter weather pattern continues across the Lower 48 as phase two of the most recent Plains storm takes shape along the Eastern Seaboard and is set to bring New England it’s 3rd weekend snowstorm in a row. So, while the Northeast gets into stormy weather once again, yet another storm system will sweep into the West […]
Scotland The cold high remains holds firm over Scottish air space and so the cold theme continues right through the weekend. Cloud will be stubborn and while this may in fact hold daytime temps down with a lack of sunshine, it will significantly hold temps up by night. This air mass would have the ability in producing the […]
The storm which has been tracked all the way from the Gulf of Alaska, brought it’s first batch of rough weather to California and the Southwest during the early and mid part of the week with spells of heavy rain, wind and heavy mountain snow as far south as Los Angeles and San Diego with teacherous driving conditions across routes […]
The cold continues to deepen over the UK with models persisting in bringing in our coldest 5,000ft temperatures of the entire winter. Now that’s quite impressive given that it’s now Feb 21st. In saying that I recall seeing our second coldest night during last year (last winter), in May with a low of -6C. Stranger things […]
Scotland A cold day with a cold breeze sets the stage for what will be a very cold night in store across Scotland. The current cloudcover for many is expected to clear and with light winds temps freefall towards -2 to -4C in urban areas while -5 to -10C readings are likely outwith the urban heat island. Friday looks largely fine and dry […]
After bringing rain, wind and mountain snows to California, all the way into Baja California with even a tornado sighted between Red Bluff and Chico, that same storm is now pushing across the Desert Southwest bringing nasty conditions to Arizona into New Mexico. The upper low brought donw very cold air and thus snow levels dropped to […]
