They keep playing it up on ABC saying every day for the entire month will be above normal and both days on the weekend will hit 50 and that we'll hit 50 tonight too.
Maybe because La Nina is really about a warmer west pac?
They seem so destructive I would be perfectly fine with climate engineering that would blunt or at least make la ninas much less frequent.
Is there a purpose to making up the days though? If the kids pass their tests and do their work, why should it matter if they go to school for 180 days or less?
March 1888 may have been one of these absurd monster events....from what I read about 1888 there were monster storms that entire season in different parts of the country.
1933 was part of that 11 year bake off summer list we all know and love and had a hyperactive tropical season followed by a record winter for cold and snow. Reminds me of 1995-96 and 2010-11.
1944 was the peak of the 11 year bake off summers from the pre 1950 era though lol
That was a semi permanent la nina, the entire 30s outside of a couple of years was like that, it exacerbated the dust bowl (along with horrible farming practices.)
Also a semi permanent la nina has been linked to the end of the Mayans. It causes droughts that can extinguish entire civilizations.
This makes a strong argument for climate engineering. In science we change things for the better and weather and climate should be no exception.
That reminds me of Feb 1983, the storm began around noon on a Friday and the snow quickly became heavy, we were let out of school an hour early, that's it.
Walked home from school with my dad in the snow when I was 9 years old.
People are way too glued to the models, anyone who actually watches the weather and the trends this season could tell you no way no how this was going to accumulate in the city
