Winter 2014/15
Where’s all our snow and cold gone you ask? Try Turkey and Greece! A vigorous low spinning over eastern Turkey and the Med isn’t just tapping some very cold continental air and driving it into the Med but moisture associated is bringing heavy snowfall too with blizzards likely in the mountains of Greece and particularly Turkey.

The latest/current snowstorm hammering the Northeast has now dumped nearly 20″ on an already buried Boston. Seasonal totals are now topped 73.9″ and they’ve now entered the top 10 list for snowiest winters. Check out these incredible images from Boston today! This on-going MULTIDAY snowstorm has potential to break Boston’s all-time record for most snow in a single event. NWS forecast […]
If your new to the website and perhaps just starting to get interested in weather, be sure to watch the first of today’s Europe videos as I go back to basics and look at what drives our weather. Perhaps your more advanced and want to get more into the nuts and bolts, we’ll the 2nd video is […]
Thanks to the return of West Coast storms, warm, dry Chinook winds this weekend and sent temps soaring throughout the Southern and Central Plains. Check out these highs from yesterday. It got up to 86 in Gage, Okla, 81 as far north as Hill City, Kan and 71 all the way to Rapid City, SD. Thank […]
While cold and stormy across Southern and Eastern Europe, it looks like the large ridge building into the West will eventually shut down the supply of cold with moderation to areas from Iberia to the eastern Med. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The UK’s main story will be the lack of precipitation through the 7-10 day. The ECMWF […]
The 7-10 day series of significant winter storms has left much of the Northeast (N of Philadelphia) buried but head north of Hartford, CT and your talking feet not inches but a uniform 1-3ft depth throughout Upstate New York and especially New England with areas between North Boston and Bangor beneath 3-4ft. Sidewalks have been replaced by snow […]
Last winter was the wettest on record for the UK. We can all remember the bombardment of one storm followed by the next. This year, as expected has been quite different. According to new stats from the Met Office, January 2015 was near average temperature wise and more interestingly it was 5th sunniest. Based on […]
First and foremost, I’ve already admitted that winter or should I say January was far drier than I thought it would be for California. After all it was the driest January on record for San Francisco but let’s just watch as the rains pound the West Coast over the next 7-10 days! Looks a lot like a pineapple […]
While the Atlantic high builds and establishes over the UK and near continent of Europe, arctic air is being forced all the way into the western Med and North Africa where even the Spanish beaches are seeing snow. The coldest air of the season is now being felt across Iberia and the western Med. Infrared imagery via EUMETSAT shows […]
Based on current global/hemispheric/Pacific-North America pattern, current SST temp profile with central Pacific El Nino, strong east QBO and cold AMO signal, I agree with the cold outlook to spring in both the CFSv2 and Jamstec. CFSv2 remains with the extreme cold February in the Northeast. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] It stays cold into March and April. Jamstec for the […]
