Juno blizzard
Juno blizzard strikes in North east America affecting seven states.
Blizzard are like snow storms at the speed of 56km/hr causing less or no visibility.
In the United States, storm systems
powerful enough to cause blizzards usually
form when the jet stream dips far to the
south, allowing cold, dry polar air from the
north to clash with warm, humid air moving
up from the south.
They are most
common in the Great Plains, the Great Lakes
states, and the northeastern states along the
coast, and less common in the Pacific
Northwest.
When cold, moist air from the Pacific
Ocean moves eastward to the Rocky
Mountains and the Great Plains, and
warmer, moist air moves north from the
Gulf of Mexico, all that is needed is a
movement of cold polar air moving south to
form potential blizzard conditions that may
extend from the Texas panhandle to the
Great Lakes shoval snow
Another storm system occurs when a cold
core low over the Hudson Bay area in
Canada is displaced southward over
southeastern Canada, the Great Lakes, and
New England . When the rapidly moving cold
front collides with warmer air coming north
from the Gulf of Mexico, strong surface
winds, a lot of cold air advection, and
extensive wintry precipitation occurs.
