Looks pretty good Nathan. Some of the graphics in your most recent post did not come out very readable on my end. Not sure if I am supposed to click on each graphic to make them larger or not- if I have to do that or not. I sure hope the site can become more interactive and we can determine that our posts are being read and prompting interest in…[Read more]

Rivers down here may be more frozen than your Tanana and Salcha Rivers are..Saw kids playing hockey on Friday out on the C and O Canal near the Potomac…[Read more]

Friday cleared up the skies from yesterday’s storm, but the cold air came back in with the coldest ever max temps in my short history here at my current location. The meager snow cover had no real chance to melt […]

Kevin Shaw commented on the post, What is a "bomb cyclone"?, on the site West Rockville MD Weather 6 years, 10 months ago
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…[Read more]

Kevin Shaw wrote a new post, What is a "bomb cyclone"?, on the site West Rockville MD Weather 6 years, 10 months ago
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

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

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…[Read more]

Great report John! Keep up those excellent updates. You would consider our current temps a thaw right now but all these transplanted southerners around here are freezing themselves out constantly. We have been in the teens and twenties the past few days with no snow on the ground. Small ponds and lakes are starting to freeze up though. I guess the…[Read more]
