Bitter and Balmy: Local Highlights from an Astounding February
By: Bob Henson, 4:11 PM GMT on March 02, 2015
We won t have the full state-by-state picture of February s U.S. climate for a few d
ays, but the outlines are abundantly clear from city climate summaries issued on
Sunday. It s been almost 40 years since the nation has seen a month so starkly di
vided between a cold east and warm west. The statistics bring to mind early 1977
, when snowflakes fell for the first and only time on Miami Beach s art deco build
ings while skiers in the Rockies found themselves hunt...

Crunch Time Ahead for California Drought Relief
By: Bob Henson, 6:25 PM GMT on February 27, 2015
Californians are watching anxiously to see if a Miracle March or Awesome April salva
ges the worst snowpack season on record thus far in parts of the Sierra Nevada.
Snow that piles up across the mountain range from autumn through spring furnishe
s more than 60% of the state s water for consumer and agricultural use. Winter pre
cipitation across California hasn t been too far from average, but even more than
usual, most of it has fallen in a relatively s...

Memorable Snowfall Hits Deep South, Skirts Big Cities
By: Bob Henson, 6:48 PM GMT on February 26, 2015
A quick-moving snowstorm zipped from northeast Texas to southern Virginia in lit
tle more than 24 hours, leaving some parts of the Deep South with more snow than
they ve seen in decades. Rather than carving a deep trough in the eastern U.S., t
he upper-level energy that generated the snow tracked along the base of a broad
pre-existing trough. This channeling of energy helped lead to a storm that had a
vast extent from southwest to northeast but a narrow north-south ...

Are We Entering a New Period of Rapid Global Warming?
By: Bob Henson, 5:04 PM GMT on February 24, 2015
Residents of New England may understandably look back at 2015 as the year of the
ir never-ending winter. For the planet as a whole, though, this year could stand
out most for putting to rest the hiatus
the 15-year slowdown in atmospheric warmin

eresting in its own right, the hiatus garnered far more attention than it deserv

Reviewing Last Week's Remarkable Cold Wave
By: Bob Henson, 4:53 PM GMT on February 23, 2015
Unusually cold air will prevail across most of the Eastern U.S. for yet another
week, making some inroads into the central states. Snow and ice continue to plag
ue parts of the South and Atlantic: significant sleet and freezing rain are poss
ible today from northeast Texas into Mississippi. Another round of wintry precip
itation is likely midweek across parts of the mid-South, with the focus beginnin
g to shift westward in a long-awaited pattern change by next weekend.<...
