Let's briefly step through everything we are watching, from multiple winter storms to severe weather, flooding rain, a debris flow threat, arctic cold and even record warmth. 1. Winter Storms x 3
Rock salt shortages across the Northeast have left towns scrambling for alternatives during one of the coldest winters in years with more snow and ice expected in the coming weeks.
Peter Sinks is a natural sinkhole in northern Utah that is one of the coldest places in the contiguous United States.. Peter Sinks is located 8,100 feet (2,500 m) above sea level, in the Bear River Mountains about 20 mi (32 km) east of Logan, within the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
Surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or stream flow).It occurs when excess rainwater, stormwater, meltwater, or other sources, can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil.
During extreme cold events, you may hear a loud boom and feel like you have experienced an earthquake. However, this event was more likely a cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake ...
During a positive NAO phase, conditions exist for strong winter storms to develop. These storms freshen the surface water, and their winds increase cyclonic flow, which allows denser waters to sink. As a result, the temperature, salinity, and density vary yearly. In some years these conditions do not exist and CLSW is not formed.
Here, the water is chilled by Arctic temperatures. It also gets saltier because when sea ice forms, the salt does not freeze and is left behind in the surrounding water. The cold water is now more dense, due to the added salts, and sinks toward the ocean bottom. Surface water moves in to replace the sinking water, thus creating a current.
The satellite images below, from the NASA, show the lake in April 2022, at left — when it was at 40% capacity — and then a little over two weeks ago, when the lake was a lavish 96% full.
