Rest of Europe

As expected here since the weekend, radar is showing SNOW showers blowing through Greater London and the Southeast this morning producing a light covering for some. London this morning. Here was Wiltshire this morning. These strong northeast winds tend to be colder at this time of the year as North Sea waters are colder and it’s […]

As a system pushes south over Scotland tonight, we expect another round of moderate, possibly heavy snow even to lower levels tonight. Be aware of this if your travelling, especially on higher road routes later tonight into Tuesday AM. Tough call as to whether we get the snow into Central areas. Models aren’t showing much along […]

In last night’s brief post I showed you the GFS end of the week ‘easterly’ solution. While a few dismissed this, lo and behold this is what the ECMWF is showing… [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Jet stream has wild amplification. Note it takes a route into arctic Scandinavia and then sweeps AROUND the ridge core positioned between […]

Models are showing the development of a long fetch ENE flow late next week. This air would be a true ‘beast from the east’ as the GFS sends continental NE Europe air into SE England along with the -10 isotherm at 850mb.. Sea effect snow for London and Southeast? [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] 850mb See video for discussion. [/s2If][s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_level1)][magicactionbox id=”18716″][/s2If]

For some living in the snow barren Southeast of England, well your waking up to some snow this morning. I’ve seen snow pics from around the Luton area and there’s a chance at seeing more through the weekend. I pointed out in yesterday’s video that when you’ve snow on the ground and winds slacken/skies are clear, […]

Large swathes of Northern Ireland, Northern England and particularly Scotland are wakening to a covering of snow on this chilly Thursday morning. The models have been pretty spot on with the heavy snow showers expected. This is the first WIDESPREAD significant snow of winter. Today could see parts of Wales and Southern England get in […]

WARNING: DISRUPTION IS LIKELY ACROSS SCOTLAND, NORTHERN IRELAND AND NORTHERN ENGLAND TODAY AS SHOWERS TURN READILY TO SNOW, PARTICULARLY THIS EVENING! A cold front currently sweeping SE down the UK is drawing in the next cold air mass of arctic origin. As today wears on, the cold flow becomes stronger and with embedded ‘waves’ will come […]

Thanks to the big storm winding up along the Northeast US coast, we may find ourselves in the coldest air mass of winter next week. There’s cross model agreement that the Atlantic high builds northward into Greenland in response to that storm. It essentially creates a ripple in the upper air pattern, forcing warmth north […]

This week is undoubtedly the busiest of winter when combining the historic snowstorm potential on the US East Coast and heavy snow expected on this side also. Yes, the Eastern US storm will in-part be responsible for the late week UK cold and snow. There’s a ripple effect and nice teleconnection this week.

Based on all I’m seeing, I believe the next 15-20 days will bring the worst of this winter’s snow and cold. More snow than what we’ve seen so far… ECMWF and GFS both really lay down the snows again over the next 7-10 days. Snow cover projections are impressive. Here’s Europe snow cover by day 10.. Not […]
