The Day After Tomorrow?

[TomSlick]

Freezing temperatures are predicted in south Arkansas tonight - south Arkansas! On April 7!

I just brought in plants and started a fire in the fireplace. Tell me again how there is nothing to this climate change stuff.

1. Here's an interesting paper on the subject published in Nature

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-02992-9

As the Arctic transitions from a relatively cold state to a warmer one, the frequency of severe winter weather in mid-latitudes increases through the transition. However, this relationship is strongest in the eastern US and mixed to even opposite along the western US. We also show that during mid-winter to late-winter of recent decades, when the Arctic warming trend is greatest and extends into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, severe winter weather—including both cold spells and heavy snows—became more frequent in the eastern United States.

3. Does that mean it will be cold when it ought not be?

[NutmegYankee]

10. Yes. It increases the frequency and amplitudes of Rossby waves

2. We have had snow falling just about every day, for a week

I wake up, look out the window, and immediately issue forth a string of profanities. It generally disappears by noon, but that's no comfort.

Last year I was mowing the lawn in April. This year I'm keeping the snow blower fueled and ready to go.

6. Well, at least it ain't snowing here.

Maybe you should move to Arkansas.

Imagine what a few thousand liberal Yankees moving to Arkansas would do for the local politics. Come ahead on - I'll teach you how to speak southern.

8. Michigan is 3 seasons of heaven and one, far too long season of hell.

Spring and Autumn, in particular, are beautiful.

I'm actually considering moving to North Carolina, to be close to my grandniece, but homes are damn expensive.

I don't think that I've ever been to Arkansas. Might be worth a look-see, if only for a visit.

Middle of Mississippi

9. this is the new normal

the ice caps ain't gonna refreeze

I have been wondering what happens if we don't have a growing season?

[NutmegYankee]

11. Barring a Volcanic event like 1816, the Year Without a Summer, we will have a growing season. nt

12. Three inches of snow on the ground here this morning.

At this rate, I'll be wearing my snow boots until Memorial Day. Profanities don't help, either.

13. Sub Freezing Alert for . . .

Southeastern Virginia and East Tennesse as well. Anyone who put in those early spring plantings needs to cover them up or if not in the ground, bring them inside.

Brrrrr.
