After not one but two major cold spells this March, the spring equinox arrived yesterday and it’s all uphill from here. The clocks ‘spring forward’ this Sunday morning at 2am. With a very pleasant 10C and sunshine, the kids made the most of it. https://twitter.com/MarkVogan/status/976098211839533056 At this time of year (March-May & September-November) when nice […]

There is the potential for an atmospheric river setup developing and firing one low after the next into California next week. This is nothing new as we’ve seen a ramp […]

With cold air and precipitation comes the renewed threat for disruptive snowfall, especially for England and Wales but nowhere will be immune from seeing snow at least in ‘shower’ form through the weekend. With an hour of daylight gained since the […]
Up until the end of February/beginning of March 2018, the benchmark for deep snow and drifting probably goes to March 2013.
