The big story at the moment is the ice storm which is encompassing the Midwest and eventually the East Coast. Freezing rain, sleet and snow is causing headaches tonight throughout the Lower Midwest and into the interior Northeast later. Warm, moist air is pushing north and bumping up against cold air already in place. Many areas including Minneapolis, Madison […]
The first truely MILD system is pushing across the UK just now and this is bringing on the snowmelt fast. The warmer winds along with the snow melt is increasing the flood risk by the hour and unfortunately this is just the beginning of what will be a tough week for UK residents. Another 3 storm systems will pass […]
The snow and ice storm from the Lakes to Northeast will lead the warming for early next week, starting in the Plains now. As heights rise and slide east, the arctic air gets kicked out into the Atlantic and finally the coldest spell for the Northeast since Jan 2004 is over, however while warming replaces […]
This weekend brings us into the midway point of a pattern transition where we say goodbye to the cold and return to a mild, stormy regime. As always, this will and has come with problems. Like i’ve said all week, this cold period wasn’t going to end at the click of a finger but will come gradually and not without […]
A somewhat unimpressive system which brought a few inches of snow to the US Mid-Atlantic and ice to parts of the South is now pushing out into the North Atlantic like most do but what the models are picking up on is what is capturing the attention of the meteorological community. The models for days now have shown this low ‘bombing out’ […]
Due to the amount and intensity of the snow across central and eastern Scotland right down through much of England tonight I thought I would throw up another quick post. It’s after dark that I am most concerned about as the front pushes into western England and bumps into the still very cold air through all levels […]
Further 2-4″ Of Snow Expected Widely Today But Warmer Air Is Knocking On UK’s Door (Includes Video!)
For many (but not all), this past 7-10 days has been quite a spell of snowy weather and today marks the finale as the next and final front to bring heavy snow pushes in. Many of you with 6+ inches of snow on the ground will get an additional 2-4, locally 6 inches and before the WARM air […]
While many of you have enjoyed a winter wonderland over the past week to 10 days, I lived in one of the only mainland UK snow holes. Except for coastal areas and a few other inland spots, we were one of the few to have bare ground and honestly, it wasn’t all that cold due to […]
Since before I left for my vacation back on January 4th, I have been banging home the point that the 2nd half to this winter would be very different to the 1st and while it may be cold now, get ready because if the CFSv2 is correct, then you ain’t seen nothing yet my friends. While temperatures bottomed out […]
As you know, the system sweeping through the Upper Midwest, Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic Fri-Sat is no big snow maker. Expect generally 1-3 inches across a broad area extending from Minneapolis to Cleveland to Washington and from Charlotte to Hartford. Due to the cold air in place, there may be swaths of 2-4 inches […]
