Freezing Winters In Europe Could Be The Norm

Looks like a Big Noreaster is going to crank up early next week. All models are predicting another East coast blizzard. Snow could be so intense that even Western PA might see some action.

The Really Big One... Next Week???

"...climate change, which results in warmer Arctic air and sends cold air southward to Europe..."

Right. Climate change makes Arctic air warmer, and sends cold air southward into Europe....uh...

Wait......that makes no sense...

Enjoy those warm summer days while you can!

I live in Texas. You ever lived through a Texas summer?

Bring on the Global Warming!

Just as the Muslims move in, the place become uninhabitable.

of course, the Muslims’ moving in would have done that, anyway.

Pardon my stupidity, isn’t it SUPPOSED to be freezing in winter?

Pardon Denied!

Study Rev. Algore's "Inconvenient Truth" and get your dang head right!

“We have recently noticed a change in [weather] patterns back to what we had in the 1950s and 1960s in Europe… We’ve had three cold winters in a row in the UK,” WSI's chief meteorologist Todd Crawford told Platts.

I'm no expert in meteorology or statistics but that statement seems to be utter meaningless in terms of guessing future weather patterns.

The climate is constantly changing. No amount of tax-fueled boondoggles will do anything about that.

The new Little Ice Age, anyone?

Thanks for posting.

"I saw some show about speed skating which talked about some kind of skating marathon held on the canals of Holland, in years when conditions allow it."

Yea, pretty soon they’ll be begging for those good ol’ global warming days.

Drive a little east to New Jersey, we have had plenty of snow to build snowmen the last couple of years. After twenty years of global warming it is cold in the spring and winter and hot in the summer and fall, like it always has been. Couple of years ago you needed a jacket into June.

Oil and natural gas — and long vulnerable piplines from Russia.

It's called the Elfstedentoch, and it's a 200-km race through 11 cities up in Friesland. Dunno if they ran it last year or in the past few. They ran it in '86.

If the conditions are right (thick ice on the canals), those registered for it who have qualified get an email informing them of the race. It's a pretty big deal, and there are a lot of other skaters who are on the B list, so to speak, who fill up remaining slots.

If you look at some of the Flemish and Dutch master paintings from the Old Days, there are a lot of them of people skating on canals. If the paintings portray actual events, and there's no reason to believe they don't, then it was a heck of a lot colder then (mini-Ice Age) than what Europe's had for the past 20 years or so.

I have followed some meterologist on Accuweather and they seem to use patterns from previous years that are analous to the current pattern to help determine future weather patterns. I couldn’t tell you if this is used by all weather gurus or if its a preferencial thing.

heck, The winters of the 70s and 80s were wicked. Snow and freezing temps.
Some winters in the 90s were awful. 1996 was colder than heck and in 1994, the record low was 24 below.

Thanx again, Army Air Corps !

how many snowmen do you see getting built today.

Import snow from Mexico to build the snowmen Americans just won't build.
