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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The system which just barrelled through the Northeast, whitened most of the region but missed the I-95 corridor and the coastal areas. A new system now organising over the Mid-South will push northeast and is likely to fill in the areas the last system missed. Most models have the storm tracking due NE and just […]
Heavy snow continues to fall this evening across New England and adding to already high snow totals brought by Winter Storm Euclid. Many parts extending from western New York’s Adirondack’s, through Vermont, New Hampshire, western Massachusetts and especially Maine will see additional inches with many already tallying over a foot of snow since Boxing Day. Woodford, VT […]
A mild, if not warm first 15-18 days of December meant snowcover was minimal and in fact on the 6th it was at a scant 6% and well below normal. While many struggled to believe winter would ever come, the pattern began to change towards the 17-18th and with 7 days before Christmas, the snowpack grew […]
It was quite the Christmas Day across the US as arctic air dove south down the Plains and energized a major storm system developing over the Southern Plains. This storm brought not only record cold, snow along with blizzard conditions but also a tornado outbreak which currently stands at 33. While snows broke out as far south as Lubbock, […]

The next major storm system is now pushing into the West Coast and already it is bringing some astonishing snowfall to California’s Cascades. I saw in the latest winter storm video off TWC that at Mt Shasta, they have recorded 10 FEET of snow in just 12 HOURS, that is quite astonishing with a snowfall rate of 10″ per hour. […]
