I confirm this is not fake news.
I remember a similar snow storm thirty or so years ago this month when the “El Nino” fear was being pushed. The 40-29 weather chick was standing outside in the dark, 800 miles from the storm and said...”The question that is on everyone’s mind...(then she looks into the camera with a look of terror on her face...) IS THIS EL NINO?”
I was tempted to throw a boot through the screen.
Feels like Winter is coming early in the Midwest.
Darn it. I was hoping it would wait and be late again.
Hope I’m wrong.
Just keep it West of the Mississippi.
Blizzard of ‘78 in downtown Toledo, what a trip! I was glad I had chow and libations...
Totally expected. We are going through a period of low sunspots. As a minimum, the average of the next couple of years will be cooler.
A lot of grain is standing in deep snow, both in Canada and the US. The harvest is degraded, so expect some up-shift in pricing. If forced to shift to varieties with shorter growing seasons, yield per unit area will suffer as much as 25%.
We now have more options than Europeans at the beginning of the Maunder Minimum, which should allow us to avoid major loss of livestock and human famine. The Asian market may find strong competitive bidding upon the commodity agriculture products, should this cooler wet weather persist past this years harvest.
We are in Buffalo WY and it is snowy and cold. Supposed to warm up starting tomorrow.
I despise these metric system lessons.
Must be all this global warming... (/s)
Freeze warning here in Willamette Valley, Oregon tonight...my first thought was..global warming, eh???
It didn’t even stick to the streets here in the Denver metro area. The forecast for the next 10 days is high 50s to low 60s and sunny. Perfect Fall weather.
Frozen snowflake tears.
Snow might not be welcome in flat places, but the Rocky Mountain states are happy to see every flake of snow. Here’s to hundreds of feet of white stuff.
A bear in Colorado came running out of the woods yelling “Global Warming. Global Warming” and was promptly shot by a very snow-laden hunter. More at 11!
Hurricanes in the south, blizzards in Colorado and Wyoming. It’s “global warming” I tell ya! It has to be. ROTFL.
Aw, hell, it got up to 90° this afternoon. Hoping for some cooling in the evening soon. Usually happens second half of October. Our Fall is not synced to the mainland it seems.
Makes for much better sleep when the temps drop into the 70’s at night..
