Autumn 2017
Up until now, winter has delivered the cold but not so much the snow. Well that’s changing and the snow is catching up and as of this writing. Heavy snow has now enveloped the Chicagoland area. Fed by a clash of warm and cold and a deepening system pulling moisture up from the Gulf has […]
The next Atlantic front is pushing across the UK over the next 24 hours and guess what, there’s polar maritime air in it’s wake so the 7-10C of today will be more like 2-7C tomorrow with any snow to all levels across Scotland. Note the difference in 850 temp between 12 noon today and tomorrow! […]
After what’s been a pretty mild season across Europe, winter weather continues to dominate much of Europe so far this February. That’s despite a +NAO. The GFS 850mb chart says it all, note the coverage of arctic air stretching from Russia all the way to Morocco. The biggest deal for the current cold isn’t so […]
Superbowl Sunday dawned frigid cold for Minnesota with pretty much all sites starting off below zero and barely getting above during the day. As is often the case, Embarrass up in the Arrowhead took the prize for lowest temp in the state and Lower 48 with -43 degrees registered both yesterday morning and this morning. […]
Whether you love weather, cold weather or both, we all get excited at the thought of a sudden stratospheric warming event.

The long-feared “Day Zero”—the point when the reservoirs serving Cape Town drop […]
As we leave the weekend and enter a new working week, bitter cold shall spill out of Scandinavia drifting southwestwards across Germany, Low Countries, SE UK, France and Spain where snow and cold shall dominate. It’ll be cold across the rest of the UK too with widespread snow likely but the core of continental cold […]
We’re firmly back into winter once again with a setup which sees waves of reinforcing arctic air behind a series of Alberta clipper systems. These systems gain storm status as they intensify lifting out of the Ohio Valley over the Great Lakes and into southern Ontario. For the Upper Midwest these aren’t particularly big snow […]
As is often the case during the winter months, it’s been wet in Seattle. So much so that 25 out of the last 31 days has seen measurable rainfall. https://twitter.com/NWSSeattle/status/959261608605188096 It’s the complete opposite in the Southwest and Texas. https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/959071311002660864 https://twitter.com/srcclsu/status/959473779297660928 https://twitter.com/wunderground/status/959180782504894467 https://twitter.com/NWSAmarillo/status/959242097298739200 https://twitter.com/glezak/status/959166982695325697 Blame La Nina which typically increases moisture in the Pacific Northwest […]
