Old Farmer’s Almanac says wetter and warmer than normal
I predict this Winter will bring colder temps than the Fall and likely we will have snow in the Northeast.
Hokey Joe at Weather Bell brought this to our attention a month or more ago.
Oh, goodie./s
Last year we had snow already at the end of October and were still getting weekly snow showers in the third week of April. I live in MN
I live between DC and Philadelphia. I’m looking forward to a strong winter.
I enjoy pitching a tent and snow camping.
Well, it rains every God damned day so if it ever gets cold, we could be screwed. I think I’m finally breaking down and getting a generator. Two years in a row we’ve had to relocate for a few days. It’s a major PITA
If the early seventies were the end of the Mini Ice Age and beginning of the eventually labelled Global Warming, then based on my father’s scientific research (Carbon Research Engineer) on historical data available between 1964 and 2011, he concluded that our weather has patterns since the Dark Ages. These two patterns are 24-28 years cooling and 24-28 years of warming. Sunspots, solar flares and the storms on the Sun account for blips that today result in radiation storms (heat) that disrupt communications and warm the planet for a few days to weeks. Back to 1970, if you take 24-28 + 24-28 + 48- 52. 2018 - 1970 = 48 (if you add another 8 years) and the remaining eight years are are the fringe timeframe between the two swings in the less than degree fluctuation of Cooling-Warming. We are currently in the interim period between Warming and Cooling. The next 20-years will be cooler than the previous 30-years. If the data remains relatively constant then anywhere in the ending and beginning periods of the 24-28 curve gives you either cooler temps or warmer. Your mileage will vary. Also, the United States is more forested than before the 1940s, thus C02 and Oxygen levels will offset some industrial activity as targeted by stupid socialists.
Woolly Worm says the winter is going to start off mild but have some serious cold shots during the rest of the winter.
