February 2021 Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas
Austin/San Antonio Weather Forecast Office WEATHER EVENT SUMMARY February 2021 Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas 10-18 February 2021 A Snow-Covered Texas. GeoColor satellite image from the morning of 15 February, 2021. February 2021 South Central Texas Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas Winter Storm Event February 10-18, 2021 Event Summary Overview An unprecedented and historical eight-day period of winter weather occurred between 10 February and 18 February across South-Central Texas. The first push of arctic air arrived in the area on 10 February, with the cold air dropping temperatures into the 20s and 30s across most of the area. The first of several frozen precipitation events occurred on the morning of 11 February where up to 0.75 inches of freezing rain accumulated on surfaces in Llano and Burnet Counties and 0.25-0.50 inches of freezing rain accumulated across the Austin metropolitan area with lesser amounts in portions of the Hill Country and New Braunfels area. For several days, the cold air mass remained in place across South-Central Texas, but a much colder air mass remained stationary across the Northern Plains. This record-breaking arctic air was able to finally move south into the region late on 14 February and into 15 February as a strong upper level low-pressure system moved through the Southern Plains. As this system moved through the region, snow began to fall and temperatures quickly fell into the single digits and teens. Most areas of South-Central Texas picked up at least an inch of snow with the highest amounts seen from Del Rio and Eagle Pass extending to the northeast into the Austin and San Antonio areas.

Winter Jet Stream Trends Over the Northern Hemisphere
QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY Q. J. R. Meteorol. Soc. 133: 2109–2115 (2007) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/qj.171 Winter jet stream trends over the Northern Hemisphere Courtenay Stronga* and Robert E. Davisb a University of California, Irvine, USA b Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA ABSTRACT: Trends in the speed and probability of winter jet stream cores over the Northern Hemisphere were measured for 1958–2007, and related changes in the thermal structure of the troposphere were identified. Eddy-driven jet (EDJ) core speeds and probabilities increased over the midlatitudes (40–60 °N), with changes as large as 15% (speed) and 30% (probability). These increasing trends are collocated with increases in baroclinicity driven by a spatially heterogeneous pattern of height change consisting of large-scale warming with cooling centres embedded poleward of 60 °N. The cooling centres reduced high-latitude baroclinicity, making jet cores poleward of 60 °N less frequent and weaker. Over the west and central Pacific, subtropical jet stream (STJ) core probabilities remained relatively constant while core speeds increased by as much as 1.75 m/s decade−1 in association with Hadley cell intensification. The STJ shifted poleward over the east Pacific and Middle East, and an equatorward shift and intensification of the STJ were found over the Atlantic basin–contributing to an increased separation of the EDJ and STJ.

Analysis of `Miholjday Summer' for Belgrade and Serbia Region
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY Int. J. Climatol. 26: 1489–1499 (2006) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/joc.1390 ANALYSIS OF ‘MIHOLJDAY SUMMER’ FOR BELGRADE AND SERBIA REGION NEDELJKO TODOROVIC´ a* and DRAGANA VUJOVIC´ b* a Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia, Belgrade, Yugoslavia b Department of Meteorology, Faculty of Physics, Belgrade, Yugoslavia Received 30 May 2006 Revised 14 February 2006 Accepted 11 April 2006 ABSTRACT Typical weather conditions with dry and warm features occur in autumn months, with temperatures above the normal temperatures for this period of the year for the Belgrade and Serbia region. Temperatures have values like the ones for the end of summer. That period of fair weather is called Miholjday (St Michael) summer (MS). An analysis of temperature has been the most important criterion for defining MS. Synoptic situation and temperature conditions during that period are analyzed and typical and atypical MSs are defined for Belgrade and Serbia region. The frequency of MS in the period 1946–2004 for Belgrade region is also analyzed. The general definition (Glossary of Meteorology) is assumed and we gave the specific definition of MS for Belgrade and Serbia region on the basis of real weather for longer series of observations. Copyright 2006 Royal Meteorological Society. KEY WORDS: summer climate variability; weather singularity; weather classification; synoptic climatology 1. INTRODUCTION Miholjday summer (MS) appears in autumn, in the period from the middle of September to the beginning of November. The name is related with Miholjday, the Christian feast celebrated on 12 October in the Orthodox Church (29 September in the Catholic Church).

ESSENTIALS OF METEOROLOGY (7th ed.) GLOSSARY Chapter 1 Aerosols Tiny suspended solid particles (dust, smoke, etc.) or liquid droplets that enter the atmosphere from either natural or human (anthropogenic) sources, such as the burning of fossil fuels. Sulfur-containing fossil fuels, such as coal, produce sulfate aerosols. Air density The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume occupied by it. Air density is usually expressed as g/cm3 or kg/m3. Also See Density. Air pressure The pressure exerted by the mass of air above a given point, usually expressed in millibars (mb), inches of (atmospheric mercury (Hg) or in hectopascals (hPa). pressure) Atmosphere The envelope of gases that surround a planet and are held to it by the planet's gravitational attraction. The earth's atmosphere is mainly nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide (CO2) A colorless, odorless gas whose concentration is about 0.039 percent (390 ppm) in a volume of air near sea level. It is a selective absorber of infrared radiation and, consequently, it is important in the earth's atmospheric greenhouse effect. Solid CO2 is called dry ice. Climate The accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time. Front The transition zone between two distinct air masses. Hurricane A tropical cyclone having winds in excess of 64 knots (74 mi/hr). Ionosphere An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist. Lapse rate The rate at which an atmospheric variable (usually temperature) decreases with height. (See Environmental lapse rate.)

Syringa Reticulata 'Summer Snow' 'Summer Snow' Japanese Tree Lilac
Fact Sheet ST-612 October 1994 Syringa reticulata ‘Summer Snow’ ‘Summer Snow’ Japanese Tree Lilac1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Although a Lilac, this member of the species is quite different in appearance than those with which gardeners are more familiar (Fig. 1). Its rounded habit varies from symmetrical to irregular. Cultivars including ‘Ivory Silk’ and ‘Summer Snow’ could be used instead of the species due to the more consistent habit and more flowers. ‘Summer Snow’ is spectacular in flower and the persistent seed pods carry ornamental interest into the fall. This is a very large shrub or small tree, reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet with a 20 to 25-foot-spread. The huge clusters of creamy white flowers, borne in early summer for about two weeks, are the main ornamental feature but lack the fragrance of the spring-blooming Lilacs -- this Lilac’s fragrance is more suggestive of privet. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Syringa reticulata ‘Summer Snow’ Pronunciation: sih-RING-guh reh-tick-yoo-LAY-tuh Common name(s): ‘Summer Snow’ Japanese Tree Lilac Family: Oleaceae USDA hardiness zones: 3A through 7A (Fig. 2) Figure 1.

THE FOUR SEASONS These Four Sculptures—Spring, Summer
THE FOUR SEASONS Matthew Geddes—Dean, College of Performing and Visual Arts hese four sculptures—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—are Ta current expression of themes and forms I have been exploring for years. I have long been intrigued by the idea of a figure sculpted from a wheel-thrown cylinder of clay. One inspiration came from the classical Greek Caryatids, architectural columns that have become human figures. Spring, Summer, I began my studio art as a potter, throwing forms and vessels on the wheel. Autumn, and Winter. I find myself evolving into a sculptor interested primarily in the human figure, so it seems natural that as I develop my interest I would rely on Bronze sculptures by a variation of a method I know well. Matthew Geddes. Though I have made figures from thrown vessels before, The Four Seasons marks new territory for me in three ways: I am working in series; I am exploring the new medium of bronze, and I am playing with ideas of color. The virtue of series work is that the individual pieces are in dialogue with one another. They invite comparison. They comment on each other. For example, I have worked seasonal icons—flower, sun, leaf, snow—into the pieces. Also, the attitude of each seasonal figure is a variation of that of her sisters: summer looks up in a stance of joy whereas autumn looks back in a contemplative mood. These pieces may stand individually, but I intend them to be grouped into a whole. As I worked with the seasonal the power of art • 85 sisters, many ideas came to me, ideas I have explored in my sketchbook and which may in turn evolve into future sculptural projects: Continents (Europe, Asia, America, Africa) and Attributes (graces, virtues, vices).
