It has been a wild day of weather across many parts of the UK as the latest in a series of active weather fronts swept in which bumped up against cold air firmly in place. While rain fell along the coast, heavy snow quickly broke out over most inland areas. For central parts of Scotland where we […]
After dropping a good 8-12 inches of snow on parts of the Texas Panhandle through Oklahoma, the second strip of snow is coming for the Mid-Atlantic from the mountains of West Virginia to Atlantic City. Below is the GFS snow chart through Thursday morning. Notice how there’s a break with just a mere coating across […]
From New England to Old England, the very same storm system which brought havoc to the Northeast US Friday into Saturday has been making it’s way across the North Atlantic over the past 72 hours and will be making it’s presence felt on the other side of the pond tonight into Wednesday morning. After departing US shores Saturday, […]
The pattern is a cold and stormy one with a brief pullback in temperature across the East, however, this will be hard to notice given the snowfall coming mid week to the Mid-Atlantic and then the bigger event which arrives this weekend. At the close of my earlier post which looks at the next two […]
I hope you got a chance to read my Blizzard of 2013 recap published earlier, boy what a storm right? Is that it for winter 2012-13? NO! In fact over the next 2 weeks and even this week, we have quite the wild pattern setting up with not one but two potentially major snowstorms which […]

Although many, particularly across Ireland may be dissapointed with this winter, I would ask you to look at things from the bigger picture. Lets look at what this winter’s pattern has acheived and what’s going on right now.First of all, […]
The past 36 hours has been somewhat benign weather a lingering frontal system bringing a rather gloomy day for much of the UK. There was in fact some snow across southern parts early today. However, things will go down hill through tonight into tomorrow as a more active front advances towards the UK from the west, […]
Conditions have been worsening throughout the afternoon and as we head into the overnight period and the storm spinning offshore continues to drop it’s pressure (now around 982mb), so winds and snow rates are increasing dramatically throughout the Northeast. As of this writing, the blizzard will really start to sink it’s teeth into the New York City […]
