For the Mid-Atlantic, it was all about the cold yesterday AM while this AM it’s all about the snow and the biggest snow (and ice) system of winter. After a uniform 3-6″ accumulation, the system is now exiting the DC-Baltimore and Philly area and pushing up through North Jersey and NYC. Here was a radar view from overnight […]
We may not be heading into a significant winter pattern by any means by the collapse of the southern ridge will at least bring spells of cold on the backside of a much more active Atlantic pattern fuelled by extreme cold on the other side of the Atlantic. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] These lows will transport North […]
It was, as expected, a truly bone-chilling morning from Ontario to Washington DC. In fact it was colder than expected for some spots including a -32 in Chandlers Valley, PA (according to NWS of Stat College) and -30 at Smethport NW PA. Smethport, PA webcam from this morning. Note the temp at the bottom. It was not just the […]
We know the Atlantic is set to fire on all cylinders this week, fuelled by an extreme cold pool developing over North America. The trouble for us was that last week, the models had a stronger than normal Azores high. A strength and position which would direct Atlantic lows predominantly to our north thus keeping us mild.

Blizzard conditions are currently affecting Atlantic Canada while the powerful offshore system begins to pull out of the Northeast US with Boston digging out from an additional 16. Check out these latest incredible scenes from New England and New Brunswick! Boston, MA Moncton, New Brunswick. In 3 weeks, Boston has seen more snow than all but TWO […]
As stated last week, the Atlantic storm train is ready to get much more active as the cold builds over eastern North America. This cold pool forces a stronger trans-Atlantic jet and with greater thermal gradient comes deeper lows. The problem I’ve had is the Azores ridge strengthens but there does appear to be change. Week […]
2 weeks ago while the UK did a little shivering, so Greenland was balmy under a blocking high. Now that the blocking high is over Europe, so Greenland shivers beneath the strongest cold pool/trough of winter and the UK enjoys relative warmth. Temps took a dip to -62C or -80F this AM at Greenland’s Summit Camp […]
The CFSv2 continues to show the same thing, a cold end game to winter and start to spring over the Midwest and East. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] As for the nearer term, the ECMWF continues to see the more southern snow event next week. This weekend sees another significant snow dump in hard hit New England with […]
In the near term, i.e. this valentine’s weekend, we do have some wet and windy weather to talk about, however, high pressure looks to remain stubborn and stronger than initially thought to our southwest over the Azores next week. A strong positive over the Azores means an increasingly active Atlantic wave train gets directed towards Iceland and therefore we’re […]
