Scotland With low pressure slowly creeping south and east this is opening the door to air blowing all the way from Scandinavia where here it’s abnormally cold. A strong to gale-force east wind has been dropping air temps throughout today and so snow is falling to increasingly lower levels, especially in eastern areas but with […]
There’s a lot of cold air across much of Europe still and with a punishing blast of arctic air diving into eastern Europe, Atlantic frontal systems continue to cut across the UK, France and Spain and as this moist air enters the cold, dense air, heavy snow has and will continue to break out across the higher terrain of northern […]
As written about late last week, we have yet another complex winter storm situation setting up Northeast with not one but two systems to contend with. While the front running or lead storm departs the Mississippi Valley and heads towards New Jersey, it’s as this moisture (fed north from the Gulf) collides with southbound cold, arctic air across the […]
The upcoming week continues to be on track for turning progressively colder with further threats of snow. In fact there could be quite the covering across many parts over the next 96 hours as the low takes it’s sweet old time sliding east and as it’s slow to move, this allows time for the cold coming back in to catch up with the […]
Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse this March with just last week the Channel Islands was clobbered by it’s worst snowstorm in 26 years with drifts piled 8 feet high. Northern France was hardest hit with nearly 2 feet of accumulation and disruption was extensive through the Low Countries into Germany. Just 6 days later and […]
It’s going to be a busy next 7 days with winter continuing to shake off any attempt at spring warmth, certainly across the North and East anyway. Through tonight we’ve got another clipper sliding NW to SE through Minnesota, this will produce the heaviest snows tonight across Minneapolis but like most clippers, moisture is limited with no Gulf […]
The winter that doesn’t want to leave continues and the coming of cold and SNOW is very real through this weekend and especially into next week and yes we’re progressing towards the SECOND half of March. Coldest in 30 years?, very much on the cards. Live in Scandinavia? it’s been and continues to be brutal up there. A record […]
As we progress towards the weekend, yet another cold shot drops into the East and with the cooldown comes a clipper which should be a rain-snow mix for both Minneapolis and Chicago, the best chance of a few inches will be north of these areas over the next 48 hours. Another system will come out of […]
The above chart pretty much sums up our upper level height fields right now. This is keeping winter going this year and may produce one of our coldest Marches in 30 years for not only the UK but Europe. With an Atlantic cold front sweeping across the UK, temperatures hold up tonight but just above […]
Scotland It’s been a cold and damp day across Scotland with persistent showers spreading in from the west. Those showers are falling as snow even to low levels in some areas as the cold air doesn’t want to give way to the somewhat milder air trying to push in from the Atlantic. Through tonight the […]
