Sorry for the lack of posts during the day Wednesday, I was on the road much of the day and trying to get organised for my 2 week vacation which starts on Friday. I will be out in New Jersey for 2 weeks and I must say that I am very much looking forward to […]
Happy New Year! For all you winter weather lovers living in the East, winter will be on hold for a while after this weekend I’m afraid as mild air is coming. In saying that, 2013 starts with a very impressive 66.6% of the country covered by snow and that widespread snowpack and arctic air feeding down, has […]
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy New Year and may 2013 be a great one for all of you. There is of course many across the UK and even parts of Ireland who will want to forget about the past year, those who had to deal with […]
When the North Atlantic Oscillation is negative, Greenland is mild with an upper level ridge of high pressure overhead. Temperatures are often at or above -18C or 0F, which is warm compared to normal here during winter. This pattern tends to promote colder weather for eastern North America and western Europe, but when there is a positive NAO, it’s the […]
After this weekend’s snow across the Midwest and Northeast, two shots of arctic air will follow. The first shot drops over the region tonight as a high builds overhead but this will be short lived as another system spreads northeast later Monday into New Years Day. That system will enhance clouds and may produce some […]
Scotland New Year’s Eve starts off wet and windy and those winds are expected to increase during the morning and into early afternoon as a front pushes through. The rain should clear most areas by early and mid afternoon but despite brightening of the skies, heavy showers will rattle in on a stiff and cold west […]
The next and last system of the year will spread more wind and rain across the UK tonight and tomorrow, making for a wet end to a record wet year. The good news is that, for most, we should see a drier, cooler close to New Year’s Eve but there will be a few exceptions.. Heavy showers will follow […]
The latest in a series of big winter storms, named Freyr has dumped a further and impressive 6-12″ swath of snow through the Ohio Valley and Northeast. This latest system has helped deepen the snowpack or, for some, added snow to places which were bare. This entire pattern which kicked in the week before Christmas looks […]
With the current stratospheric warming taking place over the Asian side of the pole and the shift in the coldest pool of air on earth I think we have a very interesting January ahead with a heck of a lot of winter to come. It’s the combination of what we’ve seen so far across a large part […]
Asia took centre stage for cold across the hemisphere during December but as you’ll see from the below stratospheric temp charts, a significant warming episode is underway on the Asian side of the pole. This not only suggests a milder month to come in the very areas which have seen one of, if not the […]
