Snow: The Survival Mechanism For An Exclusive Ecosystem The cold and snowy months of winter force trees to drop their leaves, animals to seek hibernation, and humans to escape the outdoors. The harsh conditions that inevitably shift ecosystems create a deceivingly inactive environment. However, while the rest of the world is quiet, an exclusive ecosystem bustles beneath the snow. For many species, snow presents scarce food and challenging […] Brains Emily Crofton | February 7, 2020 0 Comments
NOAA Outlook for February 2020 | CA Warmer and Drier than Average, MT and WY Cooler and Wetter We’ve entered the final month of meteorological winter, and NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center has issued its monthly outlook for February 2020 temperature and precipitation. These outlooks don’t predict the actual temperatures or precipitation: they predict the probability that conditions will be in the upper or lower third of the climatological record for a given location from 1981-2010. Darker colors mean […] WeatherBrains | February 7, 2020 0 Comments
NOAA Feb-Mar-Apr Outlook: West Warmer than Normal, California Drier than Normal The February-March-April (FMA) 2020 temperature outlook favors above-normal temperatures from central and southern portions of the West, across the southern tier of the CONUS, and the East Coast states. Increased chances for below-normal temperatures during the period are forecast across the northern Great Plains, the Upper Mississippi Valley, and the western half of the Great Lakes. Equal chances of above, near, […] WeatherBrains | January 22, 2020 0 Comments
TOO Cold to Snow?? Is it possible for it to be too cold to snow? Thoughts surrounding this theory have been discussed in the UK as they brace for another bitterly cold winter season. With temperatures dropping well below freezing, the question for many Brits is whether such freezing temperatures will affect the snowfall. Snowflakes are formed when the temperature of the clouds is […] Brains Emily Crofton | November 22, 2019 0 Comments
NOAA 8-14 Day Outlook: Below Normal Temperatures and Above Normal Precipitation for Most of West Onshore flow and above normal sea surface temperatures around Alaska continue to favor above-normal temperatures for western Mainland Alaska and the Aleutians, while a predicted increase in low-level winds originating from Canada enhance the likelihood of below-normal temperatures for eastern Alaska and the Panhandle. California can expect to experience warmer temperatures during the earlier part of the week-2 period, favoring near […] Weather WeatherBrains | November 19, 2019 0 Comments
