I mean, here's an interesting geography lesson. Remember all that amazingly hot Arctic for all these years being compared to a fire in one's attic? Guess what happened to that fire. Like all fires do, it spread. Now it's reached the top floors of the house. Now, we're a part of that torch that has been melting the Arctic. You can't ignore all these +5, +7 and even +10 months that the northern tier of the country has been having since about 2010. These +10 months are especially alarming. They're becoming common now. What we are seeing is the spread of the Arctic torch that started years ago now reaching our latitudes. It was only a matter of time anyway. Those knuckledraggers who choose to stick to fossil fuels should have all been sent to Venus a long time ago. It would have fixed our carbon problem and our overpopulation problem at the same time. Would they have been sent to Venus via a vehicle fueled with fossil fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The sad thing is it's only a matter of time NYC gets shutout completely for snowfall for an entire winter. Look as Chicago this winter. I think we still have a few decades of good snowfall as the extremes bounce back and forth but eventually we will cross that threshold.

I wholeheartedly agree. I wasn't denying climate change, but some of the comments I've been hearing from people would have you thinking it was 85 degrees and the world is coming to an end as opposed to normal record-territory warmth.

We almost did it in 2012, and this winter could've easily went that way, just look at D.C. and Philadelphia's totals, we were extremely lucky. But I'm thinking those snowless years will hit us like a ton of bricks, much like the anomalously snowy 2000's and 2010's, the pendulum will swing the other way.

uncle W Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 if you live long enough you'll see NYC get 100" one year and only a trace for another...the winter of 1877-78 although cold by todays standards but mild for them had one snowfall that winter...if this climate becomes one like Washington DC it still will snow during the winter...

Paragon Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 This doesn't have anything to do with snowfall or even NYC in particular, one just has to look at a global temp anomalies map, year, after year, after year. I'd love to know when this is going to balance out with global temp anomalies going the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like a lot of heat (minus humidity) in the summer, it's just that the allergy season is something I find to be extremely painful, especially when it starts this early.

bluewave Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I started a new thread to discuss all these new extremes that we have been experiencing during the 2000's to have all the cases in one place that wont get lost.

Yes but trust me when I say it's much worse on other forums (including international ones.) It turns into a virtual uncivil war. I like that we can actually insert some humor into the discussion since (especially with the current political climate, pun intended of course) there's little we can do about it.

But when you look at the warmth we've had for months on end, breaking monthly and daily records left and right, its clear something is going on.

I think many on this forum would get bored pretty fast living in San Diego. This month was the first time that the pressure in San Diego fell to 1000 mb or lower since January 2010.

ForestHillWx Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 UAH satellite observations are essentially flatlined; when contrasted with NOAA/NASA using 2m observation sites. I think more analysis needs to be done why there is a major difference. Further, current indices are well below anticipated IPCC models. To deny climate change is absurd; climate is not static. However, the extent of AGW is my concern. Long Island is partially a glacial moraine, left over from a rapid shrinking of the Wisconsin Glacier over 11,000 years ago; long before "oil shills" were around as far as I am aware.

That would get old fast. The daily talk would be as to what time the fog burns off..."hey folks! it's early today, we're going to torch to 72 instead of 70!"
