I thought it might be interesting to dig through some of the stats from back in January and February to see how they compare to this cold March so far over Europe and what I’ve found is quite incredible. Despite longer days, stronger sun and the fact it’s outwith meteorological winter, most European cities are seeing March as […]
Scotland The nagging easterly flow, albeit lighter will continue to bring in those snow showers to eastern aprts with some spreading west through the Central Lowlands. It will be a largely dry and settled night despite some snow showers around, lows widely down to -2C in towns and cities, nearer -10C where clear over the snowfields. Tomorrow will be a repeat of today with […]
Many folks living in the eastern third of the US will be asking, when will this persistent, nagging, lingering cold actually break and the calender match the pattern? Like I stated in my UK post earlier, until the very deep negative NAO/AO bounces back towards at least neutral, the cold and indeed stormy pattern will continue […]
As posted last night, the Easter snow chances have significantly diminished across the UK and indeed Ireland and it’s now looking like a cold but largely dry upcoming weekend. In saying that, snow showers can’t be ruled out but any significant ‘system snow’ is highly unlikely now as it stays well west and south as pressures will stay too […]
Scotland The biting easterly flow, although less blustery compared to recent days, is still keeping things abnormally cold. Notice how dry the air feels? That’s courtesy of an air flow blowing cold, dry and continental air all the way from Russia. Even the slightest breeze makes it feel bitter out there. Snow showers which have been frequent […]
A rather vigorous storm system which produced an impressive and even record breaking snow across the Midwest with St Louis, MO getting buried by 12.4 inches of the white stuff, breaking the 1912 record of 12.1″. In Lincoln, IL, they obliterated a record of 4″ dating back to 1947 with an impressive 10.8″ during Sunday according to AccuWeather. […]
Decided to take a drive down through Dumfries and Galloway this afternoon to see what the situation was like following the big late week/weekend storm and a large chunk of the snowpack is in fact gone at low elevations. The strong March sun is doing a work on the snowcover that’s for sure. However, where massive drifts […]
The wild winter weather we have endured over recent days will likely go down as some of the most extreme in many a year with one report stating it’s the biggest snowfall in the UK since 1981. While the snowfall eases, the cold most certainly won’t over the next 7 days. Our incredible endgame pattern holds firm till […]
This past 48 hours of truely severe winter weather may go down as the worst to impact the UK in over 30 years with people trapped in homes by towering snow drifts generated by bitter 50-60 mph winds. It was the rare combination of a major 1 foot snowfall combined with brutal gale-force southeast winds across Southwest Scotland and Northwest England which brought […]
Through the course of tonight and into Saturday while the upper low sweeps down from the northwest, the surface low swings east, just south of Denver out into the Southern Plains. For you folks in Metro Denver I think 4-8 inches is a good bet from this with higher amounts north and east of the metro over the […]
