We knew this was a big deal for the country when the Red Warning kicked in and the snow showers just kept pilling in on a bitter Siberian wind. Not every day do you see -4C on the thermometer while the we had a stiff easterly blowing, making it feel no warmer than -10 and […]
The ‘big snow of 2018’, ‘blizzard of 2018’, ‘beast from the east 2018’, whatever label you attach to this week’s extreme winter weather, this is an event which will be remembered for a lifetime to come. https://twitter.com/burgwx/status/967866199714553856 https://twitter.com/MarkVogan/status/968432861643792384 https://twitter.com/MarkVogan/status/968398371085004800 The incredible 20-40cm snowfall amounts which all but crippled much of Central Scotland and parts of […]
It’s a textbook ‘beast from the east’ pattern with our entire Northern Hemisphere atmosphere reversed following the major mid February SSW. https://twitter.com/MarkVogan/status/968432861643792384 Winds are blowing westwards from Siberia across Europe and will reach North America by late week. Pressure within the Scandinavia high pressure wheel has reached 1055mb and is likely still strengthening. Low pressure over the […]
The below article is from wunderground.com Dr. Jeff Masters · February 22, 2018, 11:58 AM EST Astonishing summer-like heat cooked the Eastern U.S. on Wednesday, smashing all-time records for February warmth in cities in at least ten states, from Georgia to Maine. At least 24 cities recorded their hottest February temperature on record on Wednesday, […]
It’s safe to say we have a very wintry, potentially worst week ahead with persistent easterlies winds driving frequent ‘sea effect’ snow showers in off the North Sea with enhanced polar-low system snow propagating westwards. So, the wait is over and the stage is set. Can I just say, what a textbook example of a Siberian blast […]
What a winter it’s been across the United States. From Alaska to Florida and from Southern California to Maine, it’s been extreme in all categories. Firstly a record cold open and close to December 2017 with record snowfall for Erie and the state of Pennsylvania. This was followed by the coldest open to a new […]
While the chill of February had eased last weekend into the beginning of this week, we’re ending the month and winter on a bitter note. WINTER 2017-18 RECAP Like December and January, the third and final month of meteorological winter has been mixed but with more frequent spells of cold and snow across much of […]
Thanks to a mid-winter depth trough vs a summer-like ridge, yesterday saw snow and sub-zero wind chills across Montana while at the same time cities in the East where enjoying their warmest February day on record. AMAZING STUFF! https://twitter.com/ericfisher/status/966091592313524224 A 590+dm in summer is strong and produce heat waves but in February, it’s just ridiculous. […]

Interestingly all the models are now coming together with a very impressive period of cold weather ahead for both UK and Europe with […]
