Since the planet is much warmer than a year ago (recently as much as 1C warmer than a year previously), one would expect more cooling storms. These much hyped storms do not appear in any climate models for the simple reason that they are negative feedback, reducing the slight warming from CO2. Ask the models how Greenland will melt in 100 or 200 years and the answer is fewer and weaker storms.
Thank you Kaslin for posting this.
Thank you Mr. Ransom for seeing and telling it like it truly is.
They are called Nor’easters because of the prevailing wind, not which part of the country they strike.
It’s called a Nor’easter because the cyclonic winds from an off shore storm hit the coast from the northeast. The winter hurricane pumps ocean water over land (”lake effect” snow on an oceanic scale).
Yup.
What’s with this business of naming winter storms? When did this start? Why do they do this? And where do they get the names from?
People in the NE are such drama queens in the winter.
God hates the communist northeast.
When did they start naming snow storms and why doesn’t it have a black name?
To be fair, this is the America that has directions on the cereal box.
Blizzard Nemo ? When did they start naming blizzards? Hurricanes and Typhons, yes but blizzards?
Has very one forgotten about the GREAT BLIZZARD of 1888?

There was also a string of massive heat waves during those summers. Must have been horses passing gas as the buffalo herds were wiped out and there was not enough cows yet to make up for the loss of methane produced by the buffalo.
