A thread for weather extremes that don’t normally get reported

RobertKK

I thought it might be interesting to have a thread where people can post weather extremes from other countries that might appear on their news feeds but are not generally reported on.

Weird to see it with the daffodils and buds on the trees out here.

Some incredible photos and reports in this thread on the American Weather Forum ... in the upper peninsula of Michigan (the part between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior), four feet of snow were on the ground before this latest snowstorm hit with another two feet on average, it's a very strong low that will be followed by 50-60 mph winds. Those have not quite started yet in this region, being reported over Iowa and Illinois at present.

This is snow country but the locals are saying it is the heaviest snow pack they have seen in a long time.

About that desert snow, there has been a lot of rain and mountain snow in Arizona and southern Utah also, and we're hoping this means a surplus of desert bloom in April when we hope to be down that way. Bryce Canyon airport the other day had a morning low of -24 C, it's on a high plateau but that is quite a bit below their normals. Probably a good snow pack in that area, I think it snowed about 6-8" in places like Cedar City and Kanab UT when LAS got their dusting. The pattern is about to break down by the looks of the model runs, returning the southwest to more normal spring conditions and pushing the storm track back up towards us (we have been unusually dry but cold here in south-central BC).

There isn't any good report but there's fairly disruptive snow in Istanbul. It's causing delays at Atatürk Airport.

The ssw seems to have affected Eastern med quite a bit. Amazing west/east contrast in temperatures.

For them, a high over/to the east of us is like what a Greenland High is to us.

Fine warm dry weather leading to fire clearings getting out of control in Spain. I wonder if this pilot could have reloaded somewhere a little less crowded !

There is currently a major blizzard underway in the USA, Upper Midwest / Plains region. CNN call it a "bomb cyclone". Airports between Denver and Fargo are seriously disrupted.

Despite the mild weather forecast for next week, arctic air is massing to move south and by about Wed night into Thursday Iceland may be seeing snowstorm conditions. This very cold air will be affecting weather in Britain and central Europe a bit more directly than Ireland, by next weekend and into early April. The pattern looks quite cold for much of the outlook period (beyond Friday 29th).

Really severe flooding in Iran. At least 18 people have died, maybe even some of the people in this video. It's really bad.

Some incredible video footage of the disaster in Iran, the sheer power of the massive flash floods, it is like a tsunami in parts.

There was large hail with the weather event that caused the flooding in Shiraz, Iran.

The architecture looks very unirish. In fact, the video looks and sounds very much like it's not Ireland.

Amazing though, all the same.
