The pattern is a cold and stormy one with a brief pullback in temperature across the East, however, this will be hard to notice given the snowfall coming mid week to the Mid-Atlantic and then the bigger event which arrives this weekend. At the close of my earlier post which looks at the next two […]
I hope you got a chance to read my Blizzard of 2013 recap published earlier, boy what a storm right? Is that it for winter 2012-13? NO! In fact over the next 2 weeks and even this week, we have quite the wild pattern setting up with not one but two potentially major snowstorms which […]
I’ve followed many great snowstorms and blizzards across the United States over the past decade including the Blizzard of 2003 which brought the biggest snowfall on record to Boston, the Valentines Day Blizzard of 2007, the Blizzard of 2006 which brought an all-time record breaking 28 inches of snow to New York City. The year of […]
A few Monday morning thoughts. 1) Snow still on for Wed over a good part of Scotland/England with possible disruption. 2) Rain wipes out any snow later Wed into Thurs as warmer comes in on backside. 3) Warming kicks on Thurs onwards. 4) Latest CFSv2 holds cold over UK/western Europe through Feb 20th despite coming warmth.

This winter in my opinion has been very much dominated by shots of mild and shots of cold. Although many, particularly across Ireland may be dissapointed with this winter, I would ask you to look at things from the bigger picture. Lets look at what this winter’s pattern has acheived and what’s going on right now.First of all, […]
The past 36 hours has been somewhat benign weather a lingering frontal system bringing a rather gloomy day for much of the UK. There was in fact some snow across southern parts early today. However, things will go down hill through tonight into tomorrow as a more active front advances towards the UK from the west, […]
Conditions have been worsening throughout the afternoon and as we head into the overnight period and the storm spinning offshore continues to drop it’s pressure (now around 982mb), so winds and snow rates are increasing dramatically throughout the Northeast. As of this writing, the blizzard will really start to sink it’s teeth into the New York City […]
While my recent posts have been focusing on the US with all the snow now settling into the Northeast, back here in the UK and we too have snow on the way with disruption likely during Sunday into Monday morning’s rushhour. The current cold pattern which has been pretty moderate over the past day or so will deepen […]

We have a weather situation evolving over the Lower 48 which is likely to bring an historic blizzard to the Northeast. It’s a textbook scenario with arctic air over southeast Canada drifting into the Northeast US while two branches of the jet stream are active with both northern and southern branches having a storm which will converge. The first, riding the northern branch across […]
