Chart looked similar to this, except it went west, right up the channel between Ireland and UK. Back then the BBC provided four weather updates a day. The storm originated in the US Midwest. Nobody knew it was coming.

It's stopping the storm from coming onshore anywhere.<br /><br />I also presume that the big north/south temperature gradient is what's powering this storm?<br /><br />Any sign of this storm coming ashore?Kevin Purcellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157202870194603923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-75695922967070712872013-01-25T16:11:31.614-08:002013-01-25T16:11:31.614-08:00Cliff, I never thought I'd hear you admit the ...Cliff, I never thought I'd hear you admit the East has more exciting weather... this morning on KPLU.
