I always laff at these "snowstorm causes heating problems etc etc etc" when it's really the high pressure behind the storms that causes COLD problems....check the weather we have in the mid-west for example.
Absolutely!
We know that cloudy weather, w/or w/o snow, is almost always warmer in winter than sunny weather and clear skies. It also depends on what the jet stream is doing. Blame Canada!
Below zero again tonight and we don't catch a break until Friday. Now, I am wondering why gasoline has gone up so much at the wholesale level? Is all the refining capacity being shunted to heating oil?
