I just got back from stocking up for the next storm that is supposed to dump a foot and half to two feet of snow on my starting tomorrow morning. According to long-time/life-time residents, one such storm is pretty unusual; two is really rare. And it's looking to be the coldest winter on record since 1985.
Hello....global warming!
Exactly.
I am surprised. I didn't think you had bothered to educate yourself enough to understand the true import of global warming.
A rise in annual temp does not necessarily mean warmer weather year-round. What it DOES mean is that there is more energy being put into the system AS A WHOLE, so everything-- heat, cold, drought, precipitation, storm strength--everything--tends towards extremes.
How very astute of you.
Precipitation has been pretty normal this winter. It rains when the cold front comes through, but nothing drastic. Theusual.
Temperatures :-)
In the beginning of January we had a couple of nights when the lows were in the 30s and 10 nights straight when the low was below 50. Right now it is 74 and the windows are open with a nice ocean breeze :-)
Pththththththt!!!! ;)
Colder with an earlier snow than we have had in years; BUT:
NOT colder or snowier than the winters of my childhood (some forty years ago).
The weather where we are hasn't really been terribly bad compared to recent years, maybe a couple of days of snow more. It's definitely wetter than last year. Go 45 miles down the road though and it's been the snowiest winter for a good 10 or 15 years, maybe more.
It's been one of the coldest and certainly snowiest winters of the last 25 years here in the Netherlands.
We have had a relative mild winter 7°C (44.6°F) one week and then a few days later it was extremely cold -19°C (-2.2°F), right now temperatures are normal -5°C (23°F). My biggest concern is that we have had far less snow then what is normal. I am on well water and I hope we get some more snow so I have enough water this summer.
Without doubt the coldest ive experienced so far, and with almost no snow(cozy kill you layer of ice on the roads tho)
I don't know how you can live with it so cold.
Doesn't seem too hard to do after growing up with it---I have lived in the south and the constant warmth at that time was hard to get used to. I like the season changing really and we are presently about 3 inches into a expected 8 inch snow but it is a mild 30 degrees F.
I hate to break it to you, but 30F is NOT considered mild :-)
Right now, ocean breeze, windows open, temperature 76F. BUT, the cold front is coming and it will be about 50F on Saturday night. Now, THAT'S cold :-)
LOL--I guess ya got what ya got and go with it..you have a temperature that does sound good now but we now have 9 inches of snow and it is 31 degrees---I will be staying in today..when I was a bit younger, I rode a motorcycle in 30 degree weather, just dress for it and have a small windshield and it is fun.. Not with snow!!!
Well, I do remember doing on a couple of occasions alcohol-induced naked snow angels in my younger days....
I made one with the first blizzard this year--I hadn't seen that much snow since I was kid living in Canada.
Know what you mean. Any day it gets to 40 deg. F is pretty warm to me now--it used to be almost too cold to bear when I lived on the West Coast.
Me, neither. I hate it.
My real home is the West Coast, especially the Northern California coastal regions (pretty much where redwoods grow) and the Willamette Valley in Oregon. It rains all winter, is dry all summer. Rarely gets really hot--at least, until this decade; rarely gets really cold--again, until this decade. Still MUCH nicer than the East Coast.
