I was reminded today about the blizzards across Europe in 2013, so I took the night researching. I found Buoy 44008 64NM SE off Nantucket available. Buoy was out from March 2013 until mid January of 2015. This is not unusually in researching these buoys but the data demonstrates the same effect as my past post, but further south. The graph compiled all data available since 2012. In 2013 increased earthquake activity was registered in the North Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the upper image, the lower image is the Reykjanes Ridge that is more active today. In 2013 the water temperature was 68F out at sea, and warm water meeting with cold air is the forcing behind this past event, much like today. Here is a link to March of 2013 in Europe.
