Weather forecasters around the country warn of one of the coldest winters in several years. Scientists also say that the Eastern United States will have more snowfall than last year's record highs.
"The winter as a whole in the population-dense Eastern third of the nation will be a one-two punch of higher heating prices and lower temperatures," he said. "It may be a shock to some when compared with above-average temperatures of last year in the East," said Joe Bastardi of AccuWeather.
Bastardi on Wednesday said that this winter will be off to a cold start in mid-December. The cold spell will continue through February. He also mentioned at least three cold spells between the three months.
"Given this economic environment, the winter will push some homeowners to the brink," Bastardi said.
On the other hand, scientists say that warmer temperatures are predicted in the West. The warmer than average temperatures will be from December through February. Some scientists believe it is in result of climate change, or global warming.
The Midwest will get less snow than last year. However, a pair of cold spells are predicted but temperatures will be not as low as the Eastern United States.
Hopefully yet another “conference on global warming” will be snowed out.
So, which is it? The “scientists” appear to be very confused these days. In fact, it appears as though they have no “consensus” - which, of course, is required to declare anything “science” these days!
LOL. What a crock. Global warming is for those who don’t believe in God. Frankly, a whole bunch of left wing “mularkey” is a substitute for God for some.
They must have gotten their hands on a copy of the Farmer’s Almanac.
Snow is racist. :)
Isn’t there some point spelled out Nobel’s will at which Gore has to give the prize back?
I’m predicting that my hickory trees will lose there leaves sometime in mid November. How will we survive?
their not there you stupid...
No, it’s global COOLING now.. get it right! LOL.
The Farmers Almanac had this out awhile back. They were in clear contradiction to the NWS I recall.
For those in the eastern half of the country, it’s colder than normal. No reason.
For those in the western half of the country, GLOBAL WARMING!! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!
Coming from those that can't tell me with any confidence what the weather is going to be like in three days, even with BILLIONS of dollars worth of satellites and prediction equipment.
I think I will believe my trusty "Farmers Almanac" first.
They claim to be right just over eighty percent of the time.
LOL!
Didn't you get the memo? After the killer hurricanes did not happen after katrina, and it was cool the last two winters, they have changed "global warming" to "global climate change". Algore is very concerned you did not get the memo or are ignoring his directive to change the terminology. Heck, algore knows his global warming was not working as effectively. Get with the game, and make the change in your handbook or you will be shunned too.
PING with a Let it snow prayer!!!!
“COOLING”
Get it right. It is global CLIMATE CHANGE! That way they can explain away anything as a problem caused by man’s evil effects on nature.
“Some scientists believe it is in result of climate change, or global warming.”
They are using the terms together in case everyone did not get the memo. It has changed to GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE!
