This weekend could see the coldest temperatures not just of winter but in years for Boston and other parts of New England and Northeast. Down comes a piece of the ‘polar vortex’. Interestingly this weekend’s arctic blast hits in the midst of New England’s warmest winter in history. February opened record mild too with a strong of 50s during […]
4,529 people boarded Royal Caribbean’s ‘anthem of the seas’ in Bayonne, New Jersey for a luxury, once in a lifetime cruise to the Bahamas. Most passengers and remarkably even the captain was unaware of what they were facing. Must have felt like the ‘perfect storm’ as they set sail. This is what they we’re facing. As the world’s 3rd largest ocean liner departed New York […]
You have to go back to January 1994 for the last time New York’s Central Park last recorded 0F. Since then, winter by winter, the models have seen NYC dipping below 0 but it’s never materialised. The closest it came was back in January 2004 when the park hit 1F twice during a particularly cold January with a high […]
We saw a textbook example of bombogenesis off the South Atlantic coast as a system rapidly deepened bringing gale-force wind, heavy,m flooding rain, beach erosion, coastal flooding as well as some snow. That very beast is now heading NNE with a tropical look. It’s bringing blizzard conditions to the Cape today. While the Atlantic weather […]
The weird and wacky, tough to forecast ups and downs of winter 2015-16 continues with January turning out slightly colder than normal following a record warm December. Now that we’ve opened February, like December, it’s exceptionally mild in the East but the difference is that there’s plenty of winter all around rather than a sea of warmth. After all the […]
A surprise and sneaky coastal snow event has brought a 2-4, locally 6 inch snowfall from eastern Virginia up through New York and 6-8, locally 10-12 inches over parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts. This comes on the heels of abnormal warmth which sent temps over western Mass to 64 degrees just yesterday. Yesterday’s temperature anomaly. […]
All evidence of last weekend’s historic snowstorm/blizzard is fading away today over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast thanks to a surge of heavy rain and temps 10-20 above normal. Last weekend snowfall. Now Anything that remains is likely to disappear over the next 36 hours as the big storm that’s hammered the Plains with snow and wind and floods, severe weather over the […]
As advertised, we have blizzard conditions on the Plains while flooding rains and increased risk for tornadoes grows this afternoon into this evening south the Mid-South. Nice mild surge up the East Coast while colder air follows in the wake of the storm. As we look ahead in the weekend, next week and beyond, we […]
It’s all eyes on a major storm system pushing into California over the next 24 hours. Lot’s of rain, wind and snow can be expected but so too can flooding and mudslides. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Once the system crosses the southern Rockies, ingredients of cold, dry, warm and wet come together to produce a major snowstorm/blizzard from […]
As your well aware we have a big system system rolling across the country from LA to Lansing this week that’s likely to produce blizzard conditions from Denver to Des Moines. In it’s wake we get the first of 2, maybe 3 waves of Arctic/Siberian air. According to the latest run of the GFS, the 2nd wave looks strikingly similar to […]
