  • Numerical Simulations of Three Nor'easters
    Answers Research Journal 5 (2012):39–58. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v5/numerical-simulations-noreasters-atlantic.pdf Numerical Simulations of Three Nor’easters with a Warm Atlantic Ocean Larry Vardiman, Institute for Creation Research, 1806 Royal Lane, Dallas, TX 75229 Wesley Brewer, Fluid Physics International, 403-B Santa Anita Drive, Starkville, MS 39759 Abstract Analyses and numerical simulations were conducted on three recent nor’easters which formed on the East Coast of the United States to explore the effects of warmer-than-normal sea-surface temperatures on their wind and precipitation fields. The purpose of the study was to determine how warmer sea-surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean following the Genesis Flood would have enhanced nor’easters. Wind and precipitation fields for the actual storms were compared with simulated storms using the NCAR WRF model to insure that the model was accurately replicating the storms. The sea-surface was then increased by about 10°C (18°F) and the models rerun for the three storms. The wind fields and precipitation patterns were compared to the simulated actual storms to find how much the storms had been enhanced and the precipitation footprint changed. The WRF model accurately replicated the actual storms and the warmer sea-surface temperatures dramatically increased the wind speeds and precipitation. The enhanced storms moved more quickly off the Eastern seaboard than the actual storms and formed a larger and heavier snow shield over the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. The additional accumulation of snow from the larger snow shields likely contributed to the Laurentide Ice Sheet following the Genesis Flood.

East of the arctic air lies the warm water of the Gulf Stream. The contrast of the cold air sinking into the Carolinas and warm air off the Carolina Coast creates a breeding ground for storms. Combine the strong temperature contrast with other meteorological conditions such as the right position of the jet stream, and a storm's development can become "explosive" (a sudden, rapid intensification; a dramatic drop in the central pressure of the storm). Some meteorologists refer to this as a "bomb". For a good nor'easter to develop, the jet stream usually enters the West Coast of the US and splits. The north branch of the jet stream crosses over the northern Rockies and Canada.

  • The Presidents' Day Storm of 1979
    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic The President’s Day storm of 1979 Alexandria Times, February 1, 2018 Image: Ann Cameron Siegal. Courtesy of the Alexandria Library Special Collections. oday, we’ve become numbed to hyperbole about weather events in the mid-Atlantic region. Names like T “bomb cyclone,” “Snowmageddon” and “Storm of the Century” roll off the tongue to the modern reader as regular events. However, one of the worst snowstorms in Alexandria history had the modest title of the President’s Day snowstorm of 1979. Perhaps the fault lies with the storm itself, which defied forecasts that assumed it would miss the area. Four inches fell on the evening of Feb. 18, 1979, which was significant, but nothing to be alarmed about. The snow stopped around midnight, and forecasters predicted that only an inch or two would fall on the 19th. Instead, up to twenty inches fell the next day making it the biggest snowstorm in the area since the Knickerbocker Storm of 1922. The storm had damaging effects beyond the time and effort needed to dig out from a storm on people’s holiday. For instance, a fire swept through six townhouses on South Fairfax Street. The snow and freezing temperatures hampered the efforts of the firefighters, as the snow not only slowed the trucks’ attempts to reach the blaze, but the cold froze the breathing apparatus the firefighters tried to use to navigate the smoky houses. The blaze was estimated to cost $300,000. One owner had only bought his townhouse four weeks earlier, and had not yet moved in.

  • HISTORY of MARYLAND WEATHER Including Chesapeake Bay by James Dawson
    HISTORY OF MARYLAND WEATHER including Chesapeake Bay by James Dawson Note: This article is in two parts. Part One is in narrative form with the high points of various weather phenomena grouped by type. Part Two, which follows, is a much more detailed chronological list. PART ONE MARYLAND’S WEATHER (If You Don’t Like It, Just Wait a Minute) by James Dawson Everybody talks about the weather, so let’s talk about our weather. Here in Mary- land, midway between the equator and the North Pole, we get a Whitman’s sampler of al- most every kind of weather there is: heat, cold, drought, flood. But we shouldn’t complain, weather wise (and otherwise) we’ve had it pretty lucky here. The extremes seldom last very long, nor are they as bad as in other parts of the country. Our climate is changeable though and it has been said that if you don’t like Eastern Shore weather, just wait a minute and we’ll get something else. In 1671, John Ogilby wrote in his New Description of Mary-Land: “The Climate is very healthful, and agreeable with English Constitutions... In Summer, the heats are equal to those of Spain, but qualifi’d daily about Noon, at that time of the Year, either with some gentle Breezes, or small Showres of Rain: In Winter there is Frost and Snow, and sometimes it is extremely cold, insomuch, that the Rivers and the Northerly part of the Bay of Chesapeach are Frozen, but it seldom lasts long; and some Winters are so warm, that People have gone in half Shirts and Drawers only at Christmas: But in the Spring and Autumn, (viz) in March, April, and May, September, Oc- tober and November, there is generally most pleasant temperate weather: The Winds there are variable, from the South comes Heat, Gusts, and Thunder; from the North or North-West, cold Weather; and in Winter, Frost and Snow; from the East and South-East, Rain.” We’ve had mild weather around Christmas, too.

Precipitation began as freezing rain and sleet but quickly changed to snow. The precipitation coated roads and caused serious travel problems across the northern sections of thestate that lasted into Monday morning (the 8th). Some higher elevations of the northeast corner of Alabama had travel problems into Tuesday. Amounts were generally light with the highest snowfall reported at Huntsville International Airport with 2 inches. Most other locations across North Alabama reported one-quarter of an inch to an inch and a half. On Sunday the 7th, one fatality occurred in an automobile/train collision in Calhoun County that was attributed to icy roads.
