By that logic, wouldn't human error be the cause of most weather related deaths/injuries?
No. It's just 1 thing causing the fatality in nei's example... Heat, Tornado, Flooding is multiple ways.. On the job outside. In a home without A/C. In a car that overheated with no help around. Heat Stroke walking to your mailbox. Home getting flooded while you're on the toilet. Tornado picks you up and lands you on an axe. Lightning strikes a clock tower and a person gets clocked. Ect. Ect. Ect. Ect
Have you tried to drive on snow with summer tires before? If yes, which of the following situations is the driving comfort using them closer to?
1. Driving on snow with summer tires
2. Driving on bare asphalt
As I've never lived in a snowy location I've never used winter tires but boy, driving on snow unequipped is a pain.
Yeah, but aren't all records once in a 100 year events? Last month alone Helsinki airport had two days with 20°C+ anomalies, similar to Churchill's record.
Conted the number of days with 15°C+ negative anomalies on the mean since 1960 for those 4 random cities. Helsinki is outta the more variable one from that panel:
72 Helsinki
13 Churchill
6 New York
6 Bucharest
Btw I only looked at January for NYC before, considering all three winter months the difference is much larger, at 23°C.
Woooh, New York City is not as ****ty as I imagined before
Was trying to but wasn't happening during the day today. Looking at the situation there is no way snow is falling anywhere in NC right now. Sleet more likely then snow.
Radar's believe it or not just guess the precip type. Only the Hi-res Radar can now detect the frozen stuff but it's hard to find access to dual poll radars.
That's why Ground OBS is important. There's a site you can see what is being reported.. I can't find it. I'm just too hooked on my software I forgot the sites. lol
Impressive considering. Pure dynamics in play. Awesome. and notice it was only for a quick shot or changed to rain right after. Wasn't going to be a snowstorm there. I wonder if anything accumulated to report at least 0.10? Otherwise just a Trace in the books for them
As been projected.. Coldest air of the season for southeast and Northeast coming..
For CT, MA, RI
TEMPS NOSEDIVE NEXT WEEKEND AS LARGE ARCTIC HIGH PRES BUILDS SE OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA. BY SUNDAY...HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN THE TEENS...UP TO 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. WE MAY SEE OUR FIRST BELOW ZERO LOW TEMPS WELL INLAND NEXT SUNDAY MORNING
We will see what happens in the Pacific. La Nina is probably a good bet by the end of the summer... But cirrently the Blob has been killed by Godzilla. ZERO influence on CONUS this winter unlike last winter.
Look at SST it certainly has not been killed by the faded El Nino. There is still a huge pool of warmer than normal water off the coast of the PNW. And the ridge is back. It certainly is influenced by that warm water.

From the article I quoted
Quote:
Water temperatures are still marginally warmer than normal in the Gulf of Alaska area, indicative of a positive Pacific Decadal Oscillation, but they are nowhere near the super-warm anomalies we saw last summer or in the prior two winters:

This winter CONUS has been dominated by the El Nino. Nothing shows me that the Blob had an impact anywhere.
And El Nino is fading, not faded yet. This is still Region 1.2 is faded but that wasn't the strongest part of this El Nino.
and the temperature anomalies are mirroring the El Nino of 82-83. I wonder if that is any indication that we will be seeing a summer like 1983 (which would be fantastic for me )
What have I been saying all winter?? FRIGGIN Iowa. Iowa! WTF.
Iowa = climatic paradise
