Yes, downright frigid.

Horrible decision to call that. It’s a playoff game. Late in the game. Winner goes to the Super Bowl. In the NHL playoffs, refs won’t call penalties late in games/overtime unless they are really egregious. That’s the way it should be. Let the players decide the game.

I’m simply stating that the climate of the earth is different than it was 30+ years ago. Oceans are warmer, circulations are changing…..which causes the climate to do things that we can’t fully understand or predict. To state that the climate is exactly the same as it was in the 60s is flat out wrong. We do still have cycles, but they aren’t what they used to be. They’re being enhanced/perturbed.

Looks like we get screwed either way. [emoji23]

Never said it wouldn’t snow again. Just that we are operating in a new reality. The entire system has changed and we can’t expect things to be business as usual.

And that GFS storm was completely gone at 6Z.

I know we’re all complaining about no snow, but that is really not a great indicator of climate change. My comment was more to show the irrefutable evidence that the ocean is way warmer than it used to be and to think that has no effect on climate is crazy.

Yes, and this explains a lot as well: Global ocean heat content (OHC) hit a record high: The upper ocean heat content, which addresses the amount of heat stored in the upper 2,000 meters of the ocean, was record high in 2022, surpassing the previous record set in 2021. The four highest OHCs have all occurred in the last four years (2019-2022).

Uh, yeah.

The oceans are boiling. That is ground truth and not up for 'debate.'

Oh my goodness that is amazing. I can’t stop laughing.

Uh, yeah. Also, has the Canadian ever been right?

I watched him a lot when I was a kid. I'll never forget the game where he homered from both sides of the plate.

Is that Steve Jeltz?!?!

I think the clouds are due to the heavy Pacific influence this winter. When you have that Canadian arctic air (which we've barely had) it is associated with high pressure which equals less clouds.

Flurries in Mount Joy.

Question....why do we still use analogs from 30+ years ago?

Insult to injury.

When I first read this I thought you were making a joke and comparing our futility to that of the southeast i.e. S. Carolina, Georgia, etc.

I know, we get sucked into it. I did too, but deep down I expected it to be another head fake....

Everyone knew this was coming, right? I just expect it at this point....

He just wants to crush our dreams.

Agreed. It’s so frustrating and we are not the only ones frustrated. I’ve had multiple people ask me when it was going to snow. That they missed it. It’s just not normal for this area of the world to be without it for this long.
