What's the weather where you are?

Regarding the intense weather Western Europe is experiencing, I found this post about storminess during the Little Ice Age. A few events could have been caused by tsunamis but the overall picture can give some hints about the weather pattern in the near future: _http://www.climatechangedispatch.com/storminess-of-the-little-ice-age.html

The frigid temperatures in the U.S. and Canada have given Nagaria Falls an icy wonderland - effect.

For the second time in what has been a frigid winter in the Northeastern United States, Niagara falls has come to an icy halt as the six million cubic feet of water that typically flow over the falls every minute has frozen over.

Looks like a fit to me, only I don't think it is going to be a "Little" Ice Age.

Agree. We can infer that the transition to real Ice Age conditions will be far more dramatic, meaning that people would not be able to move in mass without lots of losses. What we are seeing now are just the first notes of a prelude that can rapidly gain in intensity, and that a certain moment it will be too late from people to act. OSIT

Yeah, I'm afraid so. Based on those descriptions - my god. Nature is just warming up on the UK and the US, no pun intended.

Here in more east Germany it looks and feels like spring and we also had almost no winter and just a few days covered in snow, but last year already.

This is interesting and maybe a marker.

Many of the storms happened around the coasts of Europe so it feels like a knocking on the outer doors of Europe.

Storms rolling in across the Keys, the mainland

A tornado watch has been issued for South Florida until 7 p.m. Thursday.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service in Miami also are expecting thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening. Other possibilities, rip currents, strong winds up to 60 mph, hail, flooding and waterspouts.

"Conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes," said CBS4 meteorologist Michael Smith.

CBS4's chief meteorologist Craig Setzer explains:

Everything is being spawned by an area of low pressure in the northern Gulf of Mexico that is helping to pump in moisture to the area. Mixing that with the unstable air and a cold front sweeping through the area and the ingredients for severe weather are set.

At least two periods of stormy conditions are expected today with spotty heavy thunderstorms developing after noon containing heavy rain and some hail.

The second band of activity will be a large squall line of storms with the possibility of damaging winds late in the afternoon and evening. There will be a threat of brief tornadoes with the heaviest storms this afternoon.

The overall storm direction of the first round will be from southwest to northeast while the squall line will race from the west coast across South Florida.

Rain chance is 70 percent on Thursday. Rain chance will decrease to 50 percent on Friday and turn sunny and cooler on Saturday.

Quite. But it seems that despite the warm winter flowers blossom later, like snowdrops and crocuses or is it just me. :/

Record breaking temperatures as the Netherlands basks in the sun

Sunday 09 March 2014

The beginning of March has never been so warm as this weekend, weather bureaus said on Sunday.

The temperature reached 19 Celsius at the De Bilt weather station near Hilversum on Sunday afternoon – the highest March 9 temperature ever recorded. Saturday was also a record-breaking day.

In southern and eastern parts of the country, the temperature tipped 20 Celsius. In Maastricht it reached almost 22 Celsius while in Twente and Eindhoven, it almost reached 21.

Beach

However, it was cooler in coastal areas, where tens of thousands of people had flocked to the beach to take advantage of the spring sunshine.

Roads were extremely busy and in Zandvoort there were no parking places to be had, Nos television said. Dozens of beach bars along the coast opened for business.

'With all 400 chairs taken, 'we’ve never had such a busy opening weekend,' Lisa Spruijt, a waitress at the Zanzibar beach bar told RTL news.


Monday will also be warm and sunny but the temperature will dip back to around 12 Celsius on Tuesday as the wind becomes northerly, the KNMI weather bureau said. It will remain dry until next weekend.

As for the flowers, maybe it's already too hot for them to flourish? Just a guess...

Yes, two records broken in a row. I'm not complaining about these warm days... but the weather has been quite wonky!

The U.S. Southwest area has been having 10-12 degrees higher than average temps for over 3 weeks now, which is unusual for this time of year.
