Lows this morning dipped to the lowest values of winter so far from North Dakota to Illinois as a storm system pushing into eastern Canada carves out the deepest trough yet. This trough has brought frigid NW winds across the Lakes which means the lake-effect snow machine is cranking as well as driving the coldest air yet into the Northeast […]
Old man winter is biting Europe hard these days with the coldest air of the season sweeping east to west across the continent and while much of the UK escaped last winter, we haven’t been quite so lucky this year as moisture laden Atlantic systems clash with cold, Siberian air which has got as far as Ireland […]
While many of you living particularly in the Northeast have been asking, where’s winter? Your about to get it. The next 5 days promises not only the coldest weather in a few years from the Upper Midwest to Mid-Atlantic but snow will also be thrown in for good measure. More arctic shots will follow this week’s […]
Two systems this week will bring a covering of snow, the first coats or covers the Upper and Lower Midwest as well as Northeast during Monday and the other, more significant system is being watched closely for later Thursday. A clipper type system riding the powerful northwest flow across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast will bring a widespread coating to […]
Many southern and central areas of the UK are dealing with yet another snow event and many northern areas will deal with nasty conditions later tonight, tomorrow and even into Tuesday. Be aware of very strong to gale-force winds blowing in off the North Sea which will bring a blizzard to parts of the North Pennines and even eastern parts. Dangerous […]
The next area of snow is now working into the Southeast of England and through today this band will slowly spread north. South-central and western areas look likely to escape much of this snow with snow showers possible but expect little in the way of accumulation.If you live anywhere from Kent up through Greater London, East […]
The much talked about arctic blast is now beginning to push into North Dakota with sharp temperature drops behind a front. This arctic blast will not only be coldest of the winter but coldest in 4 years for many as highs go from 6 degrees tomorrow in Minneapolis to -4 on Monday. Chicago may struggle to reach […]
A large swath of Britain encountered it’s worst snowstorm since at least December 2010 yesterday with lingering heavy snow showers bringing further accumulations to eastern parts overnight thanks to that ice cold easterly. This is the very setup I thought would come in December and while colder than normal, it never really materialised, thankfully, this time around it has come […]
It has been quite a while since Minneapolis endured a sub zero day but the depth of trough diving into the Upper Midwest this weekend and early next week looks likely to support the coldest weather in nearly 4 years. Sunday through at least Tuesday looks to hold temperatures below 10F with Monday likely to remain under 0F following […]
Well I am back home after a wonderful 2 week holiday and boy what a difference a couple of weeks make. Just a couple days after leaving for New Jersey, Cairngorm Summit which is well over 4,000ft above sea level, struck an exceptional high of 13C, the warmest on record for January and 10 days later, we are all dealing […]
