As opposed to the brutal 4-5-6 response from last year?

Sunday's storm has trended a few mb stronger which seems to help confluence linger around for a bit longer.

12z GFS shows -4C 850 temps at 6z Tuesday for DCA. 0z had +2C during the same timeframe.

An excellent call once again

Not really that crazy, the same thing happened in Feb 2018.

Ryan Maue purposefully uses language like this to generate reactions on social media, particularly from people who use such tweets as examples of anthro climate change proponents being "extremists" or "doomists". It's funny, because beneath that veil he likely is more aligned with the people who get reactionary when he uses such phrases as "climate breakdown". He served as the chief scientist at NOAA under Trump, and at the time was known for minimizing humanity's role in recent climate trends. Maybe that implies that there's a good bit of sarcasm in that tweet's wording, but it is not the first time he's done such a thing.

Obviously that's done nothing to the climate because in Antarctica it's gone from unfathomably cold to just ridiculously cold.

It's flawed because.. a majority of the research from 50 years ago was correct? That your false recollection from that time of Is just completely and entirely based off of feelings and false memories? I hate to have been the crass out-of-forumer that butted my head in and dragged this on way longer than it needed to, but genuinely, there are incredibly smart people in this forum all around you. They have separated their feelings from the facts and have portrayed the information in the plainest text possible, yet you stick your head in the sand. Vapid retorts of stale talking points and astroturfed ideologies that favor comforting lies over the truth. There is no cure for such viewpoints but time itself.

Only about 10% of the literature from the time predicted global cooling. Don't conflate your feelings with reality.

In case the big graph scared you away from reading the text in that post. Also.. Believe what you want? It's a graph, believing implies there's a leap in the logic there. You could have stuck a thermometer right there in Southington and tracked it up until the present day and found the exact same thing.

Two things can be true at the same time. It certainly can still snow plenty in November and December, but increasing temperatures have made it just a bit more difficult as time goes on.

You expected to find the complete facts from a timespan that runs exclusively from January 1st to February 21st?

Still wondering about this. Why did you criticize the national temperature map for "only including March to August" when you previously posted/backed a map which only included January 1st-February 21st?

The period starting August 1st through now is tied with 2009 for the coolest such period since 2006 at DCA, with an average temperature of 69.7 Degrees. T-6th Coolest in the last 25 years, though it falls to T-17th Coolest in the last 50 years.

Ramped up even more since this message, that utility pole in the distance is really swaying now.

Why not?

this is the question

It’s not a difficult question to answer

This is entirely unrelated to the discussion we were having above. I’ll ask the question again. Why did you call me out for “only including” a timespan from March to August when it was in response to you posting a map that only included January and February data? Why are you redirecting the conversation from national data to just specifically Chester County in the first place?

Because you claimed the "cooling period" started in January and February, so I wanted to roll forward that "cooling period" to the months afterwards, but I couldn't find it. To answer your question from February (where you chose to only include a map from January through February 21st) No, it is not.

Since the start of this supposed cyclical cooling cycle the CONUS has seen its 3rd warmest March-August period in 131 years. September data isn't in yet but I'd assume that it will bump that ranking even higher.

Impressive contrast. Siberian snow cover extent nearing record highs for the date, while the Northern Hemisphere is nearing a record low. Both regions are expected deviate from their extreme anomalies in the next week or so.

Last bonafide one was during October 2017 IIRC
