Scientists have offered up a convincing explanation for the harsh winters recently experienced in the Northern Hemisphere; increasing temperatures and melting ice in the Arctic regions creating more snowfall in the autumn months at lower latitudes.
Their findings may throw light on specific weather incidents such as the extremely harsh Florida winter of 2010 which ended up killing a host of tropical creatures, as well as the chaos-causing snow that fell on the UK in December 2010.
Published January 13, in IOP Publishing's journal Environmental Research Letters, this new research suggests that the trend of increasingly cold winters over the past two decades could be explained by warmer temperatures in the autumn having a marked effect on normal weather patterns, causing temperatures to plummet in the following winter.

The summer felt cooler to me, but you can't have it both ways.
I have a question for anyone living in coastal areas. Have you noticed that the sea is starting to cover land not previously covered? If you live on an island have you noticed the seawater rising and covering beaches? I thought we’d have submerged land by now, isn’t that what Al the Gore said? And now we hear hot causes cold, I am so confused by all these experts, I’m starting to seriously doubt them.
All I know is that it’s been warm enough (60 or above) for me to play golf about 6 times since Christmas. If that’s result of global warming bring it on!
Judah, in my mind your a complete moron. I would like to know how much money was wasted in this phoney climate study and who in government signed off to fund it. Judah. It’s all over for you political climate scammers. Nobody is buying the AGW/CO2 biased climate propaganda anymore. That scam collasped faster than al gore can put on his hollywood disguise when going in to gas his SUV, after the release of the climategate emails revealed the fraud.
What about autumnal ascension and vernal recession? I’ve heard so many stories about “autumn creep” and “spring creep”, where the falltime and springtime weather patterns eat into the winter. Funny that this article came out just as we’re experiencing the first average wintertime temperatures in the continental US in the season, after a really warm, dry winter.
Sea levels are actually declining due to more and more water being locked in ice on Antarctica.
Oh good grief!!
{sigh}
Next they will be telling us that cold weather is the direct result of cold temperatures.
This guy manages to say it’s getting warmer and getting colder in the same long sentence. I was afraid he’d start throwing in more variations to go for the world’s longest, dreariest sentence.
Live in Va. Beach. I have not drowned yet nor have any seaside bars washed away with the tide.
Actually if you look at history. Winter(cold weather) has always followed summer(hot weather). Exact temperatures have always been a variable. But the facts are summers are more heated and winters are colder. Wasted monies for silly study.
I grew up in the 1950’s and we have VERY severe winters and very hot summers.
THEN, in the late 1960’s the winters and summers began to get milder and did so until recently and then got more severe and now they appear to be getting milder again.
Conclusion: Hot Summers and Cold winters DO Correlate, but have NOTHING to do with GLOBAL WARMING!!!
Back to the drawing boards Lysenkoists!!!
Except that we’re having a warm winter here so far, which I suppose is also due to global warming. Last years brutally cold winter is also due to global warming.
Remember! We elected Obama. He stated that with his election “he is the one that we have been waiting for” the skys will clear and the oceans recede”. Just the mere election of the ONE caused the healing to begin.
Like when Bush did not sign the Kyoto Accord. Just that by itself, failure SIGN the Accord, casued global warming.
Keep in mind that it would start dropping sh*t outside, nor rain or snow, and it would be because of global warming.
And they can prove it will scientific data. Everything you need to prove whatever you want.

I enjoyed the topic a lot more when the morons had to throw dice every couple of years and decide whether it was global warming or a new ice age.
And of course, all the dire results peojected for long after they were all rich (and dead.)
When the woolly bears are thin, it`s gonna be a mild winter.
Climate variations are real, but not caused by man.
To the “climate scientists” it is the Sun Stupid. AGW is a total lie.
It has been know for about 100 years that weather is more variable during Sunspot Minimums and Sunspot Maximums. Not hotter, not colder but more variable.
What other thermal source do we have on earth than what we get from the Sun? Duuuhhh!
It all makes sense now ....
