WeatherMatrix blogs in 2021

An index of all blog entries an articles that I did in the year 2021.

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior weather editor

I really appreciate all of you who have enjoyed my WeatherMatrix Blog over the years, especially those of you who have been reading it since it began in 2005.

As I do at the end of each year, I wanted to document my blog with a link to each blog entry I've done this year, for the record (and for Google). This will also serve as a good review of some of this year's biggest storms, though I'm sure I've missed some.

New for 2021! Since I moved to my new full-time Senior Weather Editor position halfway through 2021, I'm including links to articles I've written for AccuWeather.com in bold, stories that I co-authored, but contributed significantly to, and also entries in our 'Weather Permitting' photo blog, which is a short-format blog that I am running now.

And finally, last but not least, the entries I have written for our "Weather Permitting" photo blog, which I am now primarily authoring. Basically, we use this to highlight weather photos that we aren't able to write a whole story about. Unfortunately, I can't link you to each one of these -- you'll have to view the photo blog and scroll down or search for the entry.
