First and foremost, I want to show you the latest SNOW charts for the East Coast through 120 hours off both ECMWF and GFS. Yes they now have an EC Thanksgiving snowstorm on the table. ECMWF goes wild! GFS more conservative but BOTH show a snowstorm through the Big Cities. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] This is a […]
Yes, according to the National Weather Service Office in Buffalo, NY, a snow total of 88 inches was recorded within 3-5 days at Cowlesville, Wyoming County. This may turn out to be a new record.

Based on the brutal past 2 weeks and projected cold next week too, this month could challenge the benchmark cold November of 1976. I must add that this is something Weatherbell Analytics have been alluding to. Month so far. Impressively cold… Some noteworthy aspects to the cold in Chicago! Upper level cold above Chicago was near […]
Yesterday was a record cold day and today we see new records fall for longest consecutive spell at or below freezing for the month of November. This is round two of an historic November outbreak that will likely go down as one of the strongest and longest. I wonder when the last time we had […]
Current US snow cover sits at OVER 50%, a value that would be above normal even for Christmas never mind BEFORE Thanksgiving. As well as the enormous snowpack that’s largely built-up in just the last 5 days, we’ve got an historically cold air mass to go with it. According to Ryan Maue, this morning is said to be […]
When you look back at the last 12 months, the US and North America as a whole has been stuck in a rut, a cold rut. The big drivers steering the global weather pattern has changed since this time last year but the US upper air pattern hasn’t really changed. This year we have the onset […]
US snow cover extent continues to soar as the next deep trough sets it’s sights on the Midwest and East this weekend. Major snowfall is expect with the next batch of cold from Tennessee up to New England. Notice how the model sees significant expansion of the snow cover by 120 hours.

The current pool of bitter cold air is mighty impressive with lows reaching 34 below zero in Wyoming, 14 below in Denver but models continue to suggest a secondary push of MAJOR arctic air early next week. This time more for the Midwest, Ohio Valley and East. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] There have been reports of earliest snow since 1991 around Little […]
Temps day and night are running 30-50 below normal for mid-November. Yesterday’s highs. This morning’s lows. -31 in Wyoming! Casper plunged to -26 which obliterated the old record of -11 set back in 1986. Temps this afternoon are running 30-50 below normal widely across the Rockies and Plains with Denver struggling to reach 5 degrees. […]
One could argue that the origins of the current US arctic outbreak can be linked back to last month’s explosive NH snow cover expansion and consequential stratospheric warming over top. The warming continues to put pressure on the polar vortex. Notice in the below chart the strong warming over Eurasia which actually shifts the vortex nearly all the […]
