Do they know its NOT Christmas time at all?
One of my fondest memories was a Valentines Day when we woke up to about 2 inches of snow and my puppies just had the best time playing in it
Incredibly I was able to take a picture of my favorite pup rearing up on his hind legs and actually catching a snowball with his front paws
That’s a lovely picture but it has a sort of unsettling effect...
Interesting, “late snow”. Winter was not harsh last year here but it just held on all through April. Summer was hot early with little transition from Spring and has begun to give way to Fall early it feels like though temps are “normal” for this time of year but cooler than in recent years past.
Sunspot activity remains low suggesting a cool period is at hand. Old timers say the weather is more extreme than they recall it being. My theory is a cooler average temp is being accommodated by longer cool periods in the shoulder seasons of Spring and Fall but not more extreme... yet.
Someone will live long enough to find out what happens.
Maybe somebody should inform them where the snow went...
Actually, this bodes ill for the northern hemisphere.
The southern hemisphere also has a jet stream. In the northern hemisphere, the lack of a northern flow of weather allows the jet stream to dip south. This means the Arctic and Canada get warmer, and the US gets colder.
In the southern hemisphere, it is the mirror image of this, which indicates that the jet stream down there is moving north, thus causing colder temperatures in southern Africa and Australia. This year they have even had a cold drop in parts of Indonesia.
So this suggests as the world tilts, the northern hemisphere may get the same thing in spades.
According to the Farmers’ Almanac’s famous long-range weather outlook, it’s going to be a “teeth-chattering” cold one, with plenty of snow.
Sounds like a secret CIA code: “There is snow on the giraffe. John has a long mustache. The chair is against the wall.”
OH, NOES!
Globull cooling!!!!!
Quick, tax something to save us all!
If it’s snowing in Africa, I’m not looking forward to the coming winter in TX. Brr!
if there wasn’t snow, would they be doing something other than “wandering” ?
