Biography

Hello, my name is Eric and I have had a strong passion for weather ever since I was very little, and over the last few years I've begun to research and really understand what drives the weather and have began to try my hand at forecasting. I personally love to track winter storms and hurricanes because of all of the uncertainty involved and the major implications that follow with the forecast. I am a very big snow lover and winter is my favorite time of the year, plus it's also hockey season for me (Go Hurricanes!). I really enjoy everyone's forecast and insight, and I enjoy answering questions anyone has about weather or weather related topics.

Hurricane Season Forecast & Late Winter Ramblings

by

798px-1986_Atlantic_hurricane_season_map

    Hi all, and of course the weather pattern after the most recent winter storm in the northeast, has quieted down considerably and many in the eastern US, as I’ve been saying for several days are experiencing some nice spring-like warmth, which is quickly melting away any snow that fell, and with the higher …

Tornado season tidbits, perspective on winter & Mid-Atlantic/northeast snow threat next week similar to 1962

NWS storm reports 4-26-11

  Hi all, as many of you know, the mid-atlantic next week will be under the threat for a significant winter storm and I’ve been discussing in the comments section how similar this pattern looks to the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, which also came around about the exact same time of the year and …

Incredible winter storm for the Northeast US, widespread power outages likely. Major Blizzard for the upper midwest. More to follow as pattern remains favorable

Satellite loop Feb 8-10 2013 winter storm

Just want to make a quick post about this storm and want to continue to mention what will be coming in the longer ranges. A very dangerous situation currently ongoing in the northeast as they deal with an unbelievable snowstorm mainly from NYC and points to the north and east. Latest radar images from the …

Southern New England and parts of the northeast to get absolutely crushed by a crippling snowstorm Friday. Another system to follow towards Valentine’s Day as pattern becomes even more favorable

Here is the NESIS snowfall accumulation map of the "Lindsay Storm" in 1969 which shares some similarities to this current system as Joe Bastardi has been saying for several days.

Hi all, sorry I have not posted in a while, but I do want to make this post much shorter than usual because of such a major storm we have at hand with major implications for the northeastern US. As I said all the way back in December, this worst of winter had yet to …

Ideas for southern US winter storm in early January verify. Continuing with ideas for worst of winter lurking late Jan-Feb & perspective on the winter thus far.

by

Compare this year to what happened in 2009-10, 2009-10 looks somewhat colder for the east, but this year more of the US was below normal.

First of all, I do want to thank all of my commenters on this site for helping to motivate me as a forecaster by asking questions or expressing concerns, if it wasn’t for all of you, I wouldn’t be nowhere near the forecaster I am today. In this post, I’ll examine and evaluate some of …

Continuing with White Christmas ideas & major winter storms after Christmas. Pattern suggests winter storm for southern US in long range. Predictions of a potential stratospheric warming event verifying and suggesting worst of winter lurking.

by

The North America temperature map showing temperatures below -40 in Alaska and NW Canada, and with the increasing snowpack over the US helping to refrigerate cold air masses, signs of a stratospheric warming event, among other supporting factors, there's no reason not to believe that some of this cold air will eventually work its way down into the US.

First of all, want to say thank you to all of the bloggers commenting on the posts at this site, I always enjoy the feedback. Also want to recognize Dante, Jason, and Matthew who have really been working hard the last few days making all of those wonderful posts, and I’ll help to expand on …

Thoughts on the upcoming winter & why it looks much different than last year & more comparable to 2009-10, 2010-11, & the winters of the late 1970s.

by

You still think this winter is going to be a warm one? Interestingly enough, this is the first time since 1938 that NYC has saw two snowfalls in the month of November, the last time this happened in 1938, ironically like this year with Hurricane Sandy, featured a damaging hurricane on the eastern seaboard of the US, the infamous "Long Island Express"

First, I do want to say I appreciate all of the comments and questions regarding this upcoming pattern and winter, but for those of you that still somehow think this is going to be like last year, there’s a lot of evidence that argues for the contrary and I’ll show you why I think this …

Powerful weather system for western US. Warm-up for much of US to start Dec forcing revaluation of earlier ideas. Hints towards cold mid-late December & more parallels to the winters of 09-10 & 10-11. Pattern outlook for potential on a white christmas.

GFS rainfall accumulations in excess of one foot possible for parts of the western US with this trough of low pressure and high elevation snows of several feet also are possible.

Sorry I couldn’t get to answer some of your questions on my blog, I have been very busy the past few days, but I thank everyone for their questions and responses, because they have all helped me get an idea for this post. Now, as far as what I am seeing in the relatively short-term, …
