January Weather

I admit that January is my least favorite month.   At least any January when I am living in the northern hemisphere above the 45 degree parallel.  It is cold and it is dark.

But, lately there has been much discussion about the weather in grade 3 science and close monitoring of the temperature each morning because we have been getting a series of snow storms!
One of the causes of this recent set of cold weather is due to Sudden Stratospheric Warming (say that fast three times).

Here is a recent BBC weather report discussing the event

Then, just as we were getting used to the idea of stomping to school every day in our snow boots - the weather changed completely again - as it will do in London.

And of course - it will change again - the latest predictions are for warm, wet and WINDY weather for the next few days.  Never a dull moment ....
