Where is the snow?

[tbone]

So it was supposed to be a super snowy and cold winter this year. To date we have had about 1 1/2" of snow all season. Today it is nearly 50 outside.

And some people have the gonads to believe that man can predict the climate 10, 20, even 100 years from now. Mother nature has other ideas........

[SC Cheesehead]

It ain't down here.

Just the way I like it... :D

[tbone]

I like it. I used to have snowmobiles and prayed for snow. I'm nearly in Wisconsin where I live and it just isn't right to not have snow on the ground in January.

Here's tomorrow's forecast I just looked at after Pops said they're getting a foot:

WGN
Blustery, much colder with temperatures falling through the 20s; gusty northwest winds 40 mph at times. Snowy periods. Several inches likely. Some blowing and drifting, especially in open areas.

Nice. Very nice.:banana:

The leading hurricane forcasters said in 2011 they would no longer make seasonal forcasts because of the inaccuracy of the past forcasts. 2011 was predicted to be one of the "biggest years" with the biggest and most severe ever seen. Winter 2011 was to be the coldest, snowest on record...(it's 55.5 degreeze as I type this with snow "Forcasted" for tomorrow and Thursday, 10 day forcast has it sunny and back in the 40's by early next week).

"Global warming" is junk science, you have to have natural highs and lows. If our cars (and other carbon emmissions) is causing the icecaps to melt, what made all the ice melt away from the last ice age?

I say, sit back and enjoy the weather. in another 4.5 degreeze (when it hits 60) BLUE is getting a bath ! If this is winter, I can handle it.

The weatherman said forcast tomorrow; 3-6 inches early am , by the time I got to work the forecast was upgraded to 7-9 inches.
Now I see a foot is predicted , by the time I wake tomorrow, (God willing) we may be caught up to our normal accumulation by this time 24-30 inches :eek:

It's snowing here in OKC. first snow of the winter and it wasn't in the forecast. It's looking like only 1/2"... but being from Phoenix, any snow sucks

[jerrym3]

Middle of Jan, and no snow here in north Jersey (one early season freak storm).

Six/seven more weeks, and then we hit March, and temps start to notch up, which means that if/when we do get snow, it will not be around for too long.

I can live with that, unlike last year. Ground was covered from Christmas till spring.

Your local weather report has very little to do with global warming, #1.

#2, no one is blaming the entirety of climate change on global warming, only suggesting that we shouldn't be contributing to it as much as we are.

Complain all you like, but at least do it accurately.

The argument "global warming can't exist because look at all this friggin' SNOW" is just about as accurate as people predicting Philly was going to the super bowl because "look at all this friggin' TALENT."

Actually, the winter up until this point would pretty much support the existence of global warming if you were going that route (I'm not). 58 degrees here on Jan 10? Sounds pretty warm to me. I'm not the one claiming that as scientific proof, tho'.


Exactly. Global warming my ass.

The record high for today was set in 1980.
Jan 12: Norm Low: 13°Norm High: 29° Record Low: -14° (1977) RECORD HIGH:54° (1980) Norm Precip: 0.05"NA

Does that mean it was global warming back then? :rolleyes:...and what caused those glaciers and all that ice and snow to melt after the last "ice age"? I say it's cyclical (Of, relating to, or characterized by cycles: a cyclic pattern of weather changes.)
I doubt little ole' man has much to affect global weather changes based on past cycles.;)


The argument "global warming can't exist because look at all this friggin' SNOW" is just about as accurate as people predicting Philly was going to the super bowl because "look at all this friggin' TALENT."

[duhtroll]

If anything, you're supporting my position that your local weather report has little to do with global warming.

Global mean temperature is rising. The amount of pollution we produce certainly ain't helping. That is all any of those "junk" scientists are saying.

People blow their position out of proportion in order to argue against it.

Consider averages, not spikes or valleys. Maybe it is just a natural occurrence.

But, you can't have all these countries with economies now greatly expanding and not have an impact. Booming power plants and car ownership in China? No global impact?

Consider the above, forget politics for a moment, and then make a judgement call.

Last year we were bombed with snow, but here in Jersey, when it's very cold, we usually don't get snow.

Our saying "it's too cold to snow".

This year, it's too warm to snow, at least so far.

I did read posts 1-38 again. Two mentions of global warming in passing that should have just been left alone, you know where many people on this site will land on it.

But in typical fashion, one person had to stir the pot as most of that persons posts end up being antagonistic to get something started and shame on me, I took the bait

Most of this thread has been talking about past snow storms and has been light hearted. Even though global warming was mentioned twice before, it was politicized in an incendiary manner on post 38.
My reply was an attempt to curb that and move back to the light hearted nature of the thread.
I should have never taken the bait, I do too many times with that individual and I need to stop. Last thing I have to say on the topic

Feel free to keep telling me what my motivations are in order to fabricate your own points. It has always worked in the past on this forum. :rolleyes:

I love it when people use universals to validate their points too, as if that helps their case.

I'd say the first reference to global warming is where the thread went political.

(or the words "junk science" and "global warming my ass")

But I guess we'll ignore those or just say they weren't antagonistic.

Nah, must all be my fault. :rolleyes:

When people make comments like "Hey, it snowed, so global warming must be false," it gives me a good laugh.

We've been having a lovely spring too - light rain, well above freezing. Trouble is it's the dead of winter, normal over night lows are into the -25 range, daytime highs in the -10 range. Not cold enough yet to do any ice racing. :( Last year's season was mostly cancelled, because we got too much snow too early and the lakes didn't freeze thick enough.

We're supposed to get down in the -20s next week, and some snow over the weekend. Let's hope! Or we are going to have another bad ffire season come spring, and more towns burning to the ground like last year.
