  • This week the East Coast is experiencing a “bomb cyclone”. This bombogenesis process is fascinating and the term is thrown out to the public and not explained well enough for the general masses to understand it. […]

    • Kevin we have several of these so called bomb every winter. Lower 48 don’t hear about them cause they are of no important tearing up an Native village or taking out there power grid due to salt spray like one did couple winter back to Savooga out on St Lawerence Island. The news media is very bias on their reporting as I am sure you have found out with your relationship with Rick.

    • Hi John! Thanks for your comment. The bottom line is population. This east coast “bomb” doesn’t happen as often but when it does, it affects several million people, many more than are in Alaska. Alaskans just have to speak up and make their case known as best they can. Those really “into” the weather know all about the power and the incredible damage those Aleutian and Bering Sea LOWS can do. Just make your case be heard and you will get assistance when you all need it up there in the beautiful 49th state. Take care, and keep putting that log on the fire! Kevin

  • Wednesday was another cold one in the early AM but began to moderate in the afternoon and evening. Sunny skies gave way to increasing clouds in the afternoon and evening, as a big coastal storm headed […]

    Average Temperatures were fairly steady throughout the month with a difference between the Maximum and Minimum of only 8.2°. The Average Max/Min/Mean Temperatures December 1st-15th vs. […]

    • Greeat report Jeff as usual. Getting a little bit of snow here this Thursday morning. I noticed a slight error in your report on the second line “Jan 1st-15th should say Dec 1st-15th” …Maximum and Minimum of only 8.2°. The Average Max/Min/Mean Temperatures Jan 1st-15th
      I haven’t even started my December report. I just do too much and am not as well organized as you and others are.
      Happy New Year!
      Kevin

      • Thanks for the revision – good catch! I wish I had more time to devote to the blog than I do now. I look forward to seeing your Dec. data when it’s completed.

  • The fifth named storm of the winter 2017 – 2018 season was, in part, formed by the arctic blast that has been hitting America of late (and today produced snow in Florida). With a temperature range of almost […]

    • Wow, that’s an extremely impressive storm! How often do you get sea foam like that?

      • Sea Foam is, as you state, moderately rare in the UK, but if the wind blowing is in the same relative direction as the sea (from the west on the west coast and from the east on the east coast) then yes, you can get it.

  • The second day of the new year was another cold one to give 2018 quite a start. Sunny, really brisk temps continued as temps just reached the low 20s for high temperatures. Despite the well below freezing temps […]

  • hitting the 37 deg mark at the present. Snow melting by sublimination as the wind pasts over it here. No pooling of water due to low humidity. Artic desert country.

  • The deep freeze continues, not only in Michigan, but most of the eastern U.S.  There is even snow in the forecast for northern Florida.  So Mother Nature has certainly made life miserable for many of us.  So […]

  • The first day of the new year was a very cold one to start 2018 with. Sunny, really brisk temps continued as temps struggled to reach the low 20s for high temperatures. With the cold we are keeping our 0.5″ […]

    One more year behind us like all the water under the bridge in life.  2017 was an bit different  but one manages to adapt.  from 51 below in January to 93 above in June.  Yes it can get a bit warm here in sum […]

    • Great report John. Will read that link on living through -40 later. I read forecast discussions frequently, always great in-depth reading. We have a coastal storm expected to develop this week along the East Coast but it looks now it will track out too far east in the Atlantic Ocean to give us anything more than a few clouds on Wednesday. It will bring a reinforcing shot of cold air, however on its backside as it tracks NE. Happy New Year! Kevin

    • I heard earlier this week it was colder in Arkansas than it was in Alaska. Who would have thought we would have made it colder than Alaska!

      • It easy with the Chain being in the 40’s and Ketchikan area can be around 50 this time of year for day time high. Tuesday we hit 37 here from south winds and down slope heating

  • The last day of the year was the coldest day of the year! Sunny, really brisk temps that remained in the teens all day. With the cold we are keeping our 0.5″ snowpack in most locations. Another dim sum day at […]
