The upcoming week continues to be on track for turning progressively colder with further threats of snow. In fact there could be quite the covering across many parts over the next 96 hours as the low takes it’s sweet old time sliding east and as it’s slow to move, this allows time for the cold coming back in to catch up with the […]
Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse this March with just last week the Channel Islands was clobbered by it’s worst snowstorm in 26 years with drifts piled 8 feet high. Northern France was hardest hit with nearly 2 feet of accumulation and disruption was extensive through the Low Countries into Germany. Just 6 days later and […]
It’s going to be a busy next 7 days with winter continuing to shake off any attempt at spring warmth, certainly across the North and East anyway. Through tonight we’ve got another clipper sliding NW to SE through Minnesota, this will produce the heaviest snows tonight across Minneapolis but like most clippers, moisture is limited with no Gulf […]
The winter that doesn’t want to leave continues and the coming of cold and SNOW is very real through this weekend and especially into next week and yes we’re progressing towards the SECOND half of March. Coldest in 30 years?, very much on the cards. Live in Scandinavia? it’s been and continues to be brutal up there. A record […]
As we progress towards the weekend, yet another cold shot drops into the East and with the cooldown comes a clipper which should be a rain-snow mix for both Minneapolis and Chicago, the best chance of a few inches will be north of these areas over the next 48 hours. Another system will come out of […]
The above chart pretty much sums up our upper level height fields right now. This is keeping winter going this year and may produce one of our coldest Marches in 30 years for not only the UK but Europe. With an Atlantic cold front sweeping across the UK, temperatures hold up tonight but just above […]
Scotland It’s been a cold and damp day across Scotland with persistent showers spreading in from the west. Those showers are falling as snow even to low levels in some areas as the cold air doesn’t want to give way to the somewhat milder air trying to push in from the Atlantic. Through tonight the […]
We need the current pattern is very favourable for plenty more wild endgame to winter weather but I thought I would show you what’s next. Modelling has been persistent is bringing a low across the Northern Tier, producing a solid 4-8, locally 12 inch snow through the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern Michigan but this […]
In the wake of the crippling blizzard which stretched from Germany to the UK with most extreme impacts seen across Northern France, major cold set in over the freshly laid snowpack to produce a mid-winter level deep freeze. Beneath clear skies and light winds, temperatures plummeted to a record -12C or 9F overnight in Brussels, Belgium. According to FlandersNews.Be, this marks the […]
Scotland It’s been another largely fine, dry and settled day and following another cold and frosty start, though nowhere near as cold as the previous night, it’s fairly pleasant in the sunshine especially when winds are light. Highs this afternoon up to 7 or 8C in the sun, 3-4C beneath the cloud and where heavy, blustery snow showers […]
