Well it certainly has been a brutal winter for much of the nation. There have been quiet a few record setting events as well as many unfortunate events too. Fortunately for those of you that don't like the cold weather, a change is on the way. For those of us "severe weather enthusiast" Spring is knocking on our door step and Storm Season is about to unleash. Us chasers are gearing up and getting ready to put thousands of more miles on our chase vehicles and a whole lot of no sleep.. :-)
Don't be fooled just yet though as winter still might not be done with us. There has been a ridge of High pressure over Greenland as well as Alaska which has been forcing the jet stream from North to South, instead of West to East so that jet stream bringing the cold air further South mixed with the active storms tracks which lead to very cold temps and a whole lot of snow.
Starting early next week that ridge of High pressure over Alaska will be replaced with a dip in the jet stream and the High pressure over Greenland will no longer be, therefor we will have a lot warmer temps for much of the nation but the west will still be seeing some of that rain and snow.
