Winter 2014/15
The emphasis of the US weather pattern in coming days is the clipper system dropping out of Canada which should bring a fairly uniform 1-3 inches of snow. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Then modelling (primarily the ECMWF) forms a system along the Gulf and takes it up the East Coast this weekend. ECMWF snow projections after projected coastal system. ECM […]
The first in a series of Atlantic fronts arrive tonight into tomorrow. How much snow will it produce is near impossible to say… However, high ground locales have a good chance but if your down at lower levels, it’s going to be a close call between rain, sleet and snow. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] These systems are […]
Your well aware by now that I expect the cold to come back as we head towards month’s end. Thought I would take a look at the GFS meteogram day 9-15. Saw some things which caught my eye. Notice how the model takes NYC back to 9 on the morning of Feb 2. This would […]
I said in the video that I wasn’t going to post.. well just a few thoughts on this chilly Sunday afternoon. Cold night ahead but nothing unusual when you’ve an arctic air mass sitting over fresh snow cover! GFS 2m temps Mon AM These temps are very dependant upon clear sky and light wind in just […]
The month has been cold so far in the East and it looks like the month could end colder than it began. Therefore despite the brief thaw we’re seeing now, the below normal departures now, should be even colder come January 31. Many a great winter has seen a mid January thaw! Another cold one for the Northeast this morning, especially over […]
If you haven’t seen snow yet, you have a chance (if your away from the immediate coast) either today in the form of showers or there’s a more substantial chance Tuesday-Wednesday as a system comes in from the Atlantic. By 168 hours or a week from today, this is the GFS’s projected Europe & UK snow cover! […]
We along with many others have fresh snow on the ground this morning. It’s not the first. Up till now, it’s came and went but this time it should stay as colder air straight from the arctic sweeps in and locks in this weekend. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The cold will build and with fronts riding the […]
There is no question the cold is coming back. However the true question is just how strong? CFSv2 is now catching on but I think it’s a little too slow. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Check out the GFS ensemble. Remember this is an ENSEMBLE, 51 members joined together! EPS Control Short and sweet tonight but be sure to […]
The storm is whipping pretty good just now here and for some, it’s downright damaging! Top gusts have been clocked at 111 mph on exposed Aonach Mor summit, located E of Fort William, 105 mph on Cairngorm and even down in Cumbria, gusts of 101 mph have been recorded on Great Dun Fell. The A9 linking Perth with Inverness […]
Another cold morning across the Northern Tier. Downright frigid and coldest of the season for Ohio, Michigan and the interior Northeast. Yes, this final in a series of arctic highs to come down has sure packed a punch. Yesterday saw temps hit -35 in Minnesota and -21 in Iowa. This morning, Grand Rapids, MI plummeted […]
