Got to see some lightly snow covered areas in PA on my way to the old mid west where my girlfriend is from for the holidays. My concern this winter is the ability for the east area to maintain a long stretch of cold. It doesn't seem like it was too long ago that not only did we get measurable snow in December but there was enough cold to keep a snowpack around after the event.

Anything CNN or mainstream media is down right hogwash at best...But winter is warming rapidly because of human-caused climate change

Unfort while the truth that winters, in certain areas but not all, are warming the narrative that the reasoning behind is settled as stated in the quote above causes me to throw out 98% of this article. That is all. Sorry Damian, the idea that this topic is settled is just plain false. That is not science. Science is never settled.

That is all

People can choose or not choose to see certain changes. And while there's a lot of debate of what's going on, the truth is "losing its bite" I think is the best way to describe it. Its still there, but just isn't the same. Climate changes of ice periods and warmth period have always happened, but with each cycle they are happening quicker and ending quicker also.

From the New York Daily News Weather Almanac of 1966 re January of 1965. This followed a terrible December of 1964 where it hit 60 on Christmas Day after a high of 49 on Christmas Eve.The day after Christmas that month hit 60 as well.Must have been that global warming back then,lol.
Anyway, after that bleak month: all at Central Park here:

Jan 2-3 Stormy-Snow, sleet and freezing rain mar the end of a long holiday weekend

Jan 10-Heavy Snow-Over 6 inches of snow in the City and up to 10 inches in suburbs.Dept. of Sanitation puts emergency snow regulations into effect .

Jan 16-Heavy Snow-Low temperatures and high winds produce near-blizzard conditions. Dept. of Sanitation puts emergency snow regulations into effect for second time in a week.

Jan 23-24-Stormy-3 to 5 inch layer of snow, sleet, and freezing rain cripples surface transportation.Fourth consecutive snowy weekend and ninth consecutive weekend with precipitation.(there was that moisture flow present for weeks like this year)

How do I know this all happened? I was there to observe it all,LOL.

Love that area, my Italian born wife, near Ripi, lived on Hoffman Street near there for a time, and shopping on Arthur Ave. is like stepping into Heaven.
Love that tradition there frank, all the best enjoying it

Nice! We do the 7 fishes also, heading to Mom's later to start prep work, at 88 it's too hard for her to do it by herself. Wish we still had a good Italian store in the area, they've been replaced by Uncle Guiseppe's (which isn't too bad, but not the same) geek

Leaving for my honeymoon tomorrow. I will return on the 3rd. The pattern change to colder weather after the 31st remains on track, and still feel pretty good about our first snow happening between the 4th and 10th. I do think there will be a “reload” or “thaw” that happens after the 10th. But depending on what happens in the Stratosphere and with the MJO, it could be short lived.
