Winter is coming

in #discussion5 years ago



In mid Fall
......................................................................................................................................................
Unprecedented snowfall strands hundreds in Alberta town

nightmarish conditions on the highway,
piles of vehicles winding up in the ditch
and many more forced to turn around

Record snowfall in North Dakota
Nearly double previous record.

Widespread snowfall for parts of Wyoming and Nebraska
Snow expected, heavy at times.…And much colder

Killer freeze and snow for parts of Oklahoma and Texas

Hard, killing frost –
One to three inches of snow with locally higher amounts
possible across the northwest Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles.

Snow forecast for Texas Panhandle
One to four inches of snow for many Texas cities, including Amarillo, Dalhart, Boise City, Guymon, Stratford, Beaver, Perryton, Hereford, Pampa and Borger

Sort:  

Oh, no! Global warming strikes again. I mean, climate change ... I mean Trump is a Nazi! It's his fault, right? The Paris Climate Accord was supposed to save humanity, but he undid everything. I need a puppy and a coloring book!

To me this is actually normal. This is how I expected the tail end of fall to happen. Most of my life the first snows came in October. That hasn't happened for a number of years though.

EDIT: This one is fun ‘We Still Don’t Understand the Superstorms of the Anthropocene’… The stupid, it burns

I've spent "winter" in Fort Hood Texas and their definition of winter does not come close to Muskegon, Michigan. Our average snowfall is close to 100" per year and starts in November with our last snowfall in mid-April. We are only 7 miles from the Lake Michigan shoreline so we get a little extra snow than the folks at even 15 miles inland. Being close to the lake we don't get as cold as inland by sometimes +10 degrees, nor hot by the same in summer. I'd rather be your next door neighbor weather wise though. I have no use for cold weather. I used to go fishing through the ice and do some hunting, but have lost interest in those things over the last decade or so.

I'm about a hundred or so miles south of Fort Hood.
Last winter it snowed...more than once...a 'significant' amount
Not just a dusting....
(the traffic wrecks were epic)
The last time it snowed here were decades ago.
I expect a repeat this winter..

That's right I forgot to factor global cooling. When I was there it was close to freezing in the morning and by mid-afternoon you were sweating. That was 1970. I loved Texas! I hunted quail and morning doves and got a rabbit or two as well. I was there only 4 months before I got a three month early out for school. I left in March 1971. I went back a couple times on projects I managed in Dallas and Corpus Christi.

Well, it is a big state. Probably have a bunch of phone area codes too.

I hope not in my lifetime or that of my children.
but I fear that I may be wrong.

How long before they ditch the whole climate change /co2/human, con?

If you look across the net now, you see a million more anti global warming comments compared to 5 years ago...

it's getting colder...

warm/cold/blue / pink.... whatever the line...still way more critical comments than a few years ago

Yeah I so dislike winter! LOL I have an outdoor wedding today and it is COLD!

Four additional inches of global warming all the way down to Texas, and it isn't even mid-October. People might start to understand that it's cooling as Denver Broncos may have a snow game this Sunday, on National TV.

High of 22f in the black hills tomorrow

Apparently yes...

Yes...it is soon here also ....and soon we get back -15 or -25 :))) ... it feels some how good :))
