As we leave the weekend and enter a new working week, bitter cold shall spill out of Scandinavia drifting southwestwards across Germany, Low Countries, SE UK, France and Spain where snow and cold shall dominate. It’ll be cold across the rest of the UK too with widespread snow likely but the core of continental cold […]
We’re firmly back into winter once again with a setup which sees waves of reinforcing arctic air behind a series of Alberta clipper systems. These systems gain storm status as they intensify lifting out of the Ohio Valley over the Great Lakes and into southern Ontario. For the Upper Midwest these aren’t particularly big snow […]
As is often the case during the winter months, it’s been wet in Seattle.

Snow in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains is common during winter and in the nearby upland areas it happens every few years but not further south on the edge of the Sahara. Zagora witnessed it’s first snow since 1968. Cold air associated with a large and deep cut off low over SW Europe extending into NW Africa […]
A +NAO, -AO means the Atlantic continues to drive systems east across thee UK but cold air entrainment and building cold over Scandinavia will meet over the UK.
