Last Winter was suppose to warm also, but then it was due to El Nino. Of course, here in Ohio we had our 2nd coldest February ever! No mention was ever made of it. I had to dig up this nugget of information out of the NOAA climatology website. They would have been screaming from the rooftops if it had been the 2nd warmest Feburary ever.
Who says, The Nobel Prize boo boo, Gore?
Good...my natural gas bills will drop if it’s 40 degrees outside instead of 30. Woohoo!
Winter will be about one degree above normal in the east and two degrees above normal in the west
One to two degrees warmer. That's not very different. I think I wil still have to winterize the swamp cooler.
Farmer’s Almanac predicting a cold, snowy winter here in Maine... and it’s about time!
The unusually cold winter here in the San Joaquin Valley killed half of my avacado trees last year, so we’re destined for 10 years of mild winters. You heard it here first! :)
“except for the northern Plains and Northwest states”
Dang, dang, dang, double dang, triple dang, etc.
Wooley’s I’ve seen in Poconos of Pa. are black on tips and a lot of brown in -between .Bad in beginning and end of winter and mild in the middle .
Does anyone know if NOAA has weather spotters who check on these and/or have they developed a computer model that includes them?
Whether corn husks are open or closed?
The stripes on wooly bear caterpillars?
The size and location of muskrat piles?
The little donkey on a card with a piece of baling twine for a tail?
The weather stone?
There are about 2” snow on the ground and it has been at freezing or below for several days. It appears to be entirely normal. The warmest winter in the past 30 years it hardly got below 5 below all winter. Last March was something like 30 below or colder all month. Is that a warm winter if it stays warmer than 5 below?
Everyone I’ve seen on the roads and out walking around are dark brown to pitch black. No light colored ones. None. I’ve never seen that before.
I think we’re going to have a nice long fall, then it’s going to drop off the table.
Gee a big hurricane hit New Orleans, let’s predict tons of Hurricanes .... that worked out well. The truth is the color of a woolyworm will tell you more than these bozo’s.
Brought to you by the same folks who predicted a warmer/dryer spring and summer in Texas. (cooler/much wetter)
I’ve seen pure black Woolybears before. About three years ago. I want to say it was really warm that winter.
I’m in Georgia and the A/C is going full blast.
