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 […]
I’ve followed many great snowstorms and blizzards across the United States over the past decade including the Blizzard of 2003 which brought the biggest snowfall on record to Boston, the Valentines Day Blizzard of 2007, the Blizzard of 2006 which brought an all-time record breaking 28 inches of snow to New York City. The year of […]
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 […]
[warning] EXPECTED SNOW TOTALS: PORTLAND, ME 23-26″, BOSTON, MA 24-28″, PROVIDENCE, RI 24-25″, HARTFORD, CT 23-26″, NEW YORK, NY 12-18″, PHILADELPHIA, PA 1-4″ [/warning] Northeast: Playground For Extreme Weather Geography plays a huge role in making the Northeastern US a wild place to live sometimes.

We have a weather situation evolving over the Lower 48 which is likely to bring an historic blizzard to the Northeast. It’s a textbook scenario with arctic air over southeast Canada drifting into the Northeast US while two branches of the jet stream are active with both northern and southern branches having a storm which will converge. The first, riding the northern branch across […]
There are two systems the models are picking up on over the next 3-6 days, both of which remain out over the Pacific ocean right now but as the pattern shifts towards late week with a trough returning to the West, so these storm ride in on a strong Pacific jet. These systems will bring big snows […]
A strong jet tearing across the Pacific, like we’ve seen here in the UK, will once again alter the upper level pattern across the Lower 48 once again by late week, the next major winter storm will bring more big snows to the Intermountain West including Salt Lake City and Denver where it has been mild over the […]
Remember back at the start of 2013, I along with many other forecasters talked and showed you the onset of a major stratospheric warming event which would split apart the polar vortex and drive the entire arctic reservoir down into the mid-latitudes, Well, these incredible images below are off weather.com, taken by Andreas Dörnbrack of that […]
It has been a decent weekend for snows stretching from North Dakota down through Chicago and into the Mid-Atlantic and even southern Appalachains with some potent lake-effect bands bringing 6-10, locally 12-18 inches of snow to parts of Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Upstate New York but another TWO systems will make an impact tonight into […]
Last night was in fact the coldest night of winter for North Dakota and western Minnesota while cold extended all the way to New York City and down to the Sunshine State. Northern North Dakota and Minnesota endured the coldest air in the nation once again with lows in spots hovering at between -25 and -35 by daybreak but air temperatures were […]
