Seasonal Forecasts
Remember back to Nov 1 and the mention of potential of a ‘super arctic outbreak’ this winter?? Well it may not be Jan 1985 but this February will go down as one of the worst in Eastern US history. For some, monthly, for others, all-time record lows are being set. At the very least, for millions stretching from Michigan […]
I am out all day today so today’s write-up was in fact put together late last night but I would rather have something rather than nothing. Here was the snowy scene on the A82 and A9 last night. Not very pleasant. Glen Ogle Tyndrum Drumnochter If you’ve been watching and reading, you’ll be well aware of […]
ECMWF expands the eastern US glacier further as cold remains firm. That’s despite the fact we’re ending ‘meteorological winter’. December and January may have been a disappointment but boy isn’t Feb catching up!

After a cold, frosty overnight, the next front is now pushing in. As the moisture bumps up against the cold air, so snowfall is occurring above 150-200 metres with mixing down to lower levels. It’s sleeting here in Lennoxtown with snow falling in the hills to my north as I write. If your travelling the higher road […]
The past 5 days has produced some of the worst cold seen this late in the season over the Eastern US and it ain’t over. ECMWF snowfall through the next 48 hrs. 7 days. 10 days. Note the southward extent and the Northeast where they’ve been hit hardest!! TOP IMAGE CREDIT: Max Guliani (Follow him: @maximusupinNYc) Further […]
You may have woken this morning to a hard, ‘icy’ frost or even at light dusting of snow. That’s because we’re on the backside (cold side) of a frontal system associated with the latest low. Over the next week or more, we have a series of lows heading our way and these will bring the return to […]
This morning marked day two of this exceptionally cold period in which many communities woke to subzero lows. It’s rare to see such vast coverage of real estate in this severity of cold. 25-35 below normal. So cold that Lynchburg, VA set a NEW all-time record low. Yesterday, for some, was one of the coldest […]
The extreme cold covering eastern North America is fuelling an exceptionally powerful jet stream over the Atlantic and in turn, storms are frequent and strong. This sets up a fairly wild setup for Ireland and the UK. Check out the initial (oohr) 850mb temp gradient. As a result the jet rounds the bend of the eastern US […]
The extreme cold talked about here for days, even weeks is now firmly established over the Eastern US. Records lows went all the way to the Gulf Coast this morning but tonight is sure to be even colder with a shot at 0 degrees from NYC down to DC for the first time since February 1994. […]
As forecast, modelling is firmly showing a ‘stormier’ pattern for Western Europe which means the return of severe gales, temperature rollercoaster’s and backside SNOW. Skinny ridges behind these lows will produce some pretty cold, frosty nights with the potential comeback of -10 nights over Highland snow fields. The early part of Sun night is seen to be one […]
