Chicago has finally topped the 1-inch mark for the season after a pathetic 0.4 inches of snow fell Saturday night which raises the city’s total to 1.3 inches. However, while this is an incredibly low amount of snow for this far into winter, according to AccuWeather, the latest Chicago has taken to see 1-inch of snow was back in 1944 when it took […]
As you know I am vacationing in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. It’s been fairly chilly so far since my arrival on Friday with highs in the 30s, lows at or just below freezing. Following a passing upper system overnight, we awoke to a fresh dusting of snow here this morning. Here are a few shots I took at […]
There is plenty of weather to talk about across the US right now with a rare heavy snowfall which struck Texas on Thursday which broke records and even shut down major I-10 for a time while busy, Transmountain Highway which cuts through the Franklin Mountains on the outskirts of El Paso was also shut. The largest snow accumulation was […]
For a good week now, the models and particularly ensembles have been showing the turn from cold to warm over the Ohio Valley and East but their increasingly showing a flip back in the 8-16 day. Since Christmas and New Year, I’ve been watching closely the stratosphere and the warming taking place. Despite models not seeing […]
Sorry for the lack of posts during the day Wednesday, I was on the road much of the day and trying to get organised for my 2 week vacation which starts on Friday. I will be out in New Jersey for 2 weeks and I must say that I am very much looking forward to […]
Happy New Year! For all you winter weather lovers living in the East, winter will be on hold for a while after this weekend I’m afraid as mild air is coming. In saying that, 2013 starts with a very impressive 66.6% of the country covered by snow and that widespread snowpack and arctic air feeding down, has […]
After this weekend’s snow across the Midwest and Northeast, two shots of arctic air will follow. The first shot drops over the region tonight as a high builds overhead but this will be short lived as another system spreads northeast later Monday into New Years Day. That system will enhance clouds and may produce some […]
The latest in a series of big winter storms, named Freyr has dumped a further and impressive 6-12″ swath of snow through the Ohio Valley and Northeast. This latest system has helped deepen the snowpack or, for some, added snow to places which were bare. This entire pattern which kicked in the week before Christmas looks […]
Asia took centre stage for cold across the hemisphere during December but as you’ll see from the below stratospheric temp charts, a significant warming episode is underway on the Asian side of the pole. This not only suggests a milder month to come in the very areas which have seen one of, if not the […]
The system which just barrelled through the Northeast, whitened most of the region but missed the I-95 corridor and the coastal areas. A new system now organising over the Mid-South will push northeast and is likely to fill in the areas the last system missed. Most models have the storm tracking due NE and just […]
