We need the current pattern is very favourable for plenty more wild endgame to winter weather but I thought I would show you what’s next. Modelling has been persistent is bringing a low across the Northern Tier, producing a solid 4-8, locally 12 inch snow through the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern Michigan but this […]
In the wake of the crippling blizzard which stretched from Germany to the UK with most extreme impacts seen across Northern France, major cold set in over the freshly laid snowpack to produce a mid-winter level deep freeze. Beneath clear skies and light winds, temperatures plummeted to a record -12C or 9F overnight in Brussels, Belgium. According to FlandersNews.Be, this marks the […]
Scotland It’s been another largely fine, dry and settled day and following another cold and frosty start, though nowhere near as cold as the previous night, it’s fairly pleasant in the sunshine especially when winds are light. Highs this afternoon up to 7 or 8C in the sun, 3-4C beneath the cloud and where heavy, blustery snow showers […]
Given both the pattern that remains over the Lower 48 and the suggestion that the AO and NAO will remain well into negative territory through pretty much the remainder of March, potentially extending into April now, suggests spring is a long way off.I showed the AO ensemble in my European post earlier and it’s astounding how […]
A massive late season snowstorm which hammered a region stretching from Germany through the Netherlands, Belgium, Northern France and Southeast England may go down in the history books as one of the worst in March as hundreds become stranded on the roads, rail and airports. Hundreds of thousands lost power in Northern France with Paris all but grinding to a […]
Scotland Today was less windy and therefore less cold than yesterday with 6C in sunnier Western areas, cooler in the East. Through this evening, while the bulk of the country should loose any cloud that’s worked down from the north, and this will allow for another cold night with a widespread frost, snow showers become frequent up and down the […]
As we progress towards true spring and warmer weather, precipitation become more important as evaporation rates increase. There has been a decent start to 2013 up and down the Mississippi and Ohio River Valley in terms and even for areas such as Chicago where fall and early winter was exceptionally dry with warmer than normal temperatures, the second […]
Scotland After one of the coldest March day’s in several years, tonight may see lows widely fall to between -4 to -8C beneath clear skies and with winds falling light. Some sheltered spots of particularly the Southern Uplands may see temps dip below -10, perhaps rivalling the -13C seen last night at Aboyne and Kinbrace. Following the bitter […]
Harsh winter conditions are whipping across Germany, the Low Countries, Britain, France and Ireland with biting 40-50 mph winds blowing straight from the Scandinavian ice box. Along the boundary between mild and frigid, heavy snowfall is breaking out, bringing crippling snowfall to Germany yesterday and now bringing blizzard-like conditions today to Northern France where as […]
The coldest air we’ve seen all winter is now entering UK airspace and even here in Lennoxtown, north Glasgow the snow showers are blowing in so no matter where you are in the UK through today, you may see some snow flakes flying, even in western areas. The air blowing across the north sea is […]
