So I just received a private message that I am going to pass along:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news,..but ...
Joe Bastardi says the Northeast can expect snow right up to Easter, all the way thru the middle Atlantic States.
That was todays ‘daily summary’.
Then, summer he says is going to be hot and dry, with most serious heat and drought in Texas (following his historical alogorhythems patterns of the past)
Just saying...
Please don’t throw stones at the messenger..
Thanking the messenger - without identifying.
I do NOT blame the messenger.
I’m a meteorologist myself and know what’s involved in weather forecasting.
I can get the peas in as soon as the ground is workable.
Everything else requires a good start in a greenhouse.
A hot dry summer may mean a good tomato crop, something we’ve not had in years due to a cool summer last year and other summers with problems with blight cause of heavy dew from cool nights and not warm enough days.
I was kind of expecting a drought. Thank you for passing that along.
Around here I’ve noticed that, in terms of severity, winter will follow summer. While in terms of precipitation, summer will follow winter.
We haven’t had much snow this winter, so we probably won’t get much rain this summer.
