An interesting weekend in what’s been an interesting and devastating week of weather for the central Med and particularly Greece and Balkan region. A full fledged medicane with warm core, clear eye is set to make landfall in southern Greece later Saturday packing sustained winds of around 60 mph with higher gusts. This system is already responsible for […]
It’s a bit of an all or nothing November across not just the Northern tier of the United States when it comes to snow but even in a relatively small area of the West.

With Ben Macdui, Braeriach, Aonach Mor, Carn Mor Dearg, Ben Nevis and another 10 munros including the UK’s top 6 highest ticked off the list last year, 2017 had a lot to live up to. It’s certainly been a great year for me in the Highlands . Like 2016, another 15 summits were achieved including another 3 in beautiful Torridon in April and May, Ben […]

The models are consistent and bringing some major league arctic air into the Midwest and East along with the potential of a significant snow event. The below GFS ensemble shows the build-up of heights into Greenland and the western US […]
