EASTERN U.S. - Last Friday there was a full rainbow over
Provincetown. The air was still. The sea calm. The air
strangely warm considering just a few minutes before there was
a chilly wind and freezing rain. And then, all hell broke
lose. Winds reached hurricane force - at least 74 miles per
hour - felling trees and power lines, and knocking out
electricity from Provincetown to the Mid Cape. Just a few
inches of snow fell, but enough to create whiteout road
conditions, causing car accidents. The STRANGE WEATHER drove
in whales and dolphins to strand on bayside beaches and caused
a host of other calamities that left many scratching their
heads in disbelief. "It was a rapidly intensifying coastal
low. If you want another name for it, we call it a
meteorological bomb." There were confirmed reports of water
spouts, pink lightning, wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour
and fish in back yards, even in locations some distance from
the ocean. "The fish were most likely dropped there by the
spouts or by the significant storm surge." As the storm
approached the area, it came into contact with a low pressure
system. Two low pressure systems, one from the Great Lakes
region and the other from the Gulf of Mexico, combined to form
one large block of low pressure that intensified just as it
approached Buzzards Bay. The advancing front caused air
pressure to drop 19 millibars over a three-hour period. "That
is a massive drop in pressure." As the two systems met, they
created a calm spot, almost like the center of a hurricane,
thus the sunny weather and the rainbow. But then
the "correction" started, sparking two hours of fury. "These
intensifying lows are common over the North Atlantic" but not
over land. Friday’s storm was unlike a classic nor’easter in
that it did not originate off Cape Hatteras. Instead, the
storm, or at least one part of it, began off the coast of
Maryland and intensified very quickly. The thunder and
lightning many areas experienced is indicative of "an intense
development process". "The only storm that I can remember such
thundersnow was the Blizzard of ’78. Both of these storms came
very close to having a structure similar to a tropical storm
and both deepened very rapidly." SPAIN - The Atlantic Rowing Race has foul weather, again. ‘It
is so INCREDIBLY UNUSUAL to have two low pressure systems over
the traditional Atlantic trade wind route at this time of year
and in one crossing, let alone in one week...Even MORE UNUSUAL
is the boat placed in the northern most sector of the race is
receiving the best weather of all the fleet. Traditionally the
crews who are further south generally get the better weather
as the race unfolds." OKLAHOMA - Work continued into the night Thursday to plug the
apparent source of natural gas that has bubbled to the surface
along a Kingfisher County creek for the past week. Gas has
been shooting to the surface along a five-mile section of
Winter Camp Creek since Dec. 9 and some geysers are within
about a mile of the town of Kingfisher. Although the source is
unknown, a preliminary investigation revealed that a natural
gas well being drilled by Chesapeake Energy Corp. miles away
may be to blame for the strange geysers of explosive vapors. A
Chesapeake natural gas drilling rig experienced an unusually
large flow of gas last week. A company statement said pressure
release was expected to begin sometime late Thursday or early
Friday through a combination of production to a pipeline and
periodic flaring of the gas. Even if the operation is
successful, geysers may continue to appear in the area for
some time. "It's going to be several days we think before we
see any positive benefit. It depends on how charged the zone
is with gas." ILLINOIS - Numerous issues have emerged in the probe of the
December 8 overrun of a Southwest Airlines plane which killed
a young boy. Weather reports indicate that an enhanced snow
band was in the area at the time of the landing. “This
apparently is a SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL WEATHER PHENOMENON, as the
band swath was only 20mi to 30mi (30km to 50km) wide with snow
accumulations of 10in (25cm) right over Midway airport.”
