I still believe recent trends speak for themselves we have moved into a warmer period.

We've had 3 discernible warm periods that have lasted 3 yrs plus. 1930-33, 1973-1975, 2006-2008

Presumably 2010-2012 will be the 4th. 5 years is tough and we do our biggest cold anomalies in November through April. So assuming this next winter sucks and 2013 is warm, there is strong evidence based on a number of factors that 2013-14 will be cold and probably snowy. That is the way I would lean. 2012-13 will probably be a 3rd year nina or neutral negative and will be warm.

CWG is helping to memorialize the anniversary by giving voice and encouragement to people who hate snow and cold....

JoMo...I'm very glad to hear you are safe. Your story is incredible and I personally can't imagine having to endure what you have in the last several days. You and the entire community of Joplin remains in my thoughts and prayers.

Speaking of the SGF TOR issue (and their high FAR)...leave it to Accuweather to try and distastefully exploit this since its an opportunity to discredit the NWS. They apparently sent this email yesterday to partners and clients (excerpt pasted below)...

I wouldn't trust Accuweather to tie my shoes....
