Throughout the course of today I have watched the visible satellite images come in with an increasingly spectacular depression forming off Ireland. This thing is poised to deepen into a 940 to 944mb monster. This is one of several this winter to have deepened below 950, literally unheard of in our lifetime and the hits […]

Boy, between the nasty ice situation throughout a large swath of the Northeast overnight, the snows back to the west and brutal cold diving down the Rockies and Plains, we continue to suffer winter at it’s harshest. Upwards of 1 million lost power due to ice accumulation across PA and from DC up to New […]
This stormy pattern has been quite incredible with the latest 952mb system causing significant disruption and damage overnight across Devon, Cornwall and South Wales. 80+mph winds drove battering waves up against the fragile, venerable Cornish and Devonshire coasts causing sea walls and piers to collapse and railway lines to dangle over choppy seas. Here was the scene at Dawlish […]
ACTIVE PATTERN: Eastbound System 2 Drops Foot Of Snow On KS, Another Follows! Winter’s End In Sight?
Hot on the heels of a record Northeast snowstorm, another, even bigger system is now winding up over the Plains and is set to dump a LOT of snow over the US heartland east through the Ohio Valley into the Northeast next 36 hours. Latest radar. Note the shield of moderate to heavy snow extending from central Kansas […]
As we gaze over the charts now through next week, there’s striking similarity every 3 to 4 days. It’s every 3 to 4 days that we see a system hit while another is born, one pushes out while another quickly fills the void. Blame the abnormally strong/persistent zonal jet stream crossing the Atlantic which has in part been fuelled […]
The first of three snowstorms made it’s presence felt today with a generous and record breaking 8 inches in New York, 6.6 inches at JFK and 6.5 inches at Islip. There was also decent amounts north and south of the NYC area and points west. While today’s system leaves the field, the next in line has already […]
We’ve entered a more positive NAO phase rather than neutral and this means the jet is taking more of a dip out over the Atlantic and heights build over Europe, the North Atlantic trough has deepened and what we’re finding is a stuck pattern in which multiple low pressure systems form and spiral around a trough […]
