His snow depth went to 23″ last Friday to 15″ today. These temp anomalies across the country say it all. SPRING FEVER! As stated, 60s have […]

In today’s post I wish to look at the solar cycle, it’s current position and also the last 18 years of early March global SST’s. There is some interesting trends and findings from this study and what I’ve learned from the last two winters which have had strikingly similar SST profiles and mean upper height anomalies. SST […]
What a difference 10 days makes in March with higher sun angle and increase in solar energy reaching the surface. Even on frigid days that may be well well below freezing, melting still occurs. March opened brutal with over 63% of the Lower 48 snow covered with all but Florida with at least some snow. Today it’s […]
The current stormy pattern wanes as we end this week and commence the weekend as a huge Scandinavian ridge builds west. This powerful blocking high will ultimately push back the Atlantic influence. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Our air flow reverses and this setup may look cold but I’m afraid there’s one key feature lacking, cold air! Notice where the 540 […]

Last March saw all-time records tumble through the Plains and Midwest. This March is seeing all-time records fall further east. This frigid open to March follows what may have […]
It was an interesting weather day yesterday with nearly 6 inches of rain falling across the West Highlands with multiple road closures due to flooding and landslides while Northeast Ireland’s Co Down took the prize for UK warm spot so far. Here’s the scene along the closed A85 this morning following the deluge of the past […]
There’s a lot of moisture piling into the western side of Scotland today into tomorrow thanks to a near stalled front that’s being pushed back by a powerful ridge SE of the UK. The persistent and strong SSW flow is driving sub-tropical moisture into western upslopes and therefore enhancing the rainfall as well as driving the warmest […]
