Oh my God it’s not 50 below in the US this week!! But for real it might take a little while for the next arctic blast to arrive because the trough shifts back out West this week and without a strong +PNA ridge, there might not be enough amplification to allow for a southward discharge of very cold arctic air for awhile. Maybe after the 20th the chances might return if we can maintain a blocking regime near Greenland and more ridging out West. But it would have to hurry before it’s too late. But for this week it looks to be a bit milder for the time being.
June 2007: I had a conversation with a Noble laureate in which he told me that his group provided the segment regarding the “Solar Cycle” impact on the climate and that it was not included because it did not conform to the political needs of the UN. He was terminated from his university position in the US and was taking a job in a foreign country. To this day the UNIPCC has never recognized the significant impact of the solar cycles.
Yes indeed it is not -50 in the US, yet. But the eastern half of the USA is indeed cold. Now there are early indications the western half of the USA might receive a brutal cold surge toward the end of the month. In the meantime global temperatures are continuing to relentlessly drop. All we can do is prepare to manage the colder climate as best we can.
“During the exchange, Texas A&M professor Andrew Dessler dismissed the criticism with profanity and accused the authors of the US Department of Energy climate report of misconduct for not following traditional peer-review procedures.”
—Dessler and Mann, two dishonorable fanatics with no regard for the truth.
A recommended book:
State of Fear, by Michael Crichton (2004)
“State of Fear is a 2004 techno-thriller novel by Michael Crichton, his fourteenth under his own name and twenty-fourth overall, in which eco-terrorists plot mass murder to publicize the danger of global warming.”
—I’ll have to pick this one up! The warming fanatics probably viewed it as a how-to manual.
Hi Cap, I have spent most of every winter since 1979 in Soldeu, Andorra, in the Pyrenees. We may have seen occasional bigger one-off snow dumps in that period than we have this year, but in all that time I have never seen such sustained, day after day snowfalls and accumulated snow as there has been so far this winter. As a foot-note to that, much has been made by the usual suspects over the last few years of the fact that there have been several lean snow years over the last decade or so – I can say with certainty that the two winters with the least snow in my time here were those of 1987-8 and 1988-9, which I remember very well as I was working as a ski instructor here at the time.

It’s 74°F on my front porch right now in mid Missouri. You don’t hear me complaining about the weather, do you?
74 degrees is the perfect temperature for humans and those Deb critters.
