Scotland It’s been a rough day right across the country but the worst has been by far across Dumfries and Galloway with the combination of heavy snow and strong, gale-force winds causing many roads to close or become blocked. Snow showers have swept across the country today but thankfully many low lying areas which woke to a covering […]
It’s a WILD day out there with heavy and very disruptive snow falling across many parts of Northern Ireland, central and particularly Southwest Scotland, northern England extending down through the Midlands, all this snow driven in by a bitter, howling southeasterly wind. Every day I travel across Dumfries and Galloway and I must say I am glad I’m not […]
Our wild March here in the UK continues and just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse, an Atlantic storm system will swing an arm of heavy precipitation into our cold air tonight and could produce the biggest ‘disruptive snow event’ for the UK yet. Tonight through Saturday’s event will make a 4th in just 10 […]
Scotland The cold conditions aren’t going anywhere and unfortunately our weather is set to get a whole lot more wintry through tonight and right the way through Saturday. A lot of moisture associated with an Atlantic low will swing into our cold air mass tonight and force heavy snow to break out, initially across the Southwest but as […]
Firstly, the cold! Noticed it’s cold out? Certainly if you live basically anywhere from Denver to Atlantic City, your running comfortably or uncomfortably below normal and tonight will be a heck of a cold night, especially from North Dakota to North Georgia. It hit 18 below zero this morning up in Rudby, ND, that’s pretty […]
It may be the first day of astronomical spring but it’s anything but spring-like. Amazing how opposite this is compared to last year on both sides of the Atlantic (see yesterday’s post), in fact I am seeing some tweets making mention that the UK’s long standing Central England Temperature or CET which combines the temperature for all of Britain is […]
It has been quite the winter for New England and the latest winter storm in HAMMERING New Hampshire and Maine tonight while it’s winding down further west but for you good folks of Maine, it ain’t over till it’s over and I’m not talking about winter, I’m talking about this storm. Just when you think the snows are […]
It was all about the warmth around this time last year as a strong POSITIVE Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation ruled, playing a significant role in pumping unusually warm air up over the UK (as well as the United States too). On March 26, 2012, the incredible 3-day record streak began with Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire soaring to […]
Scotland Further snow can be expected through at least the first half of tonight with strong easterly winds continuing to drive in the moisture. After a significant amount of snow and drifting through today, we could see a further 1-2 inches across eastern parts tonight with snow showers and flurries extending all the way across to […]
The Arctic Oscillation is entering the same negative territory as the record depths seen back in 2009-10 and both the UK and USA know what kinda winter that was. The persistence in negative since early February explain why we’ve seen a much colder and snowier second half to winter but it’s the sharp tanking which is […]
