“Thing Of The Past” Now A Thing Of August!
After steady snowfall, several Swiss Alp passes had to be closed for traffic on Friday evening. Streets around the Gotthard range were hit especially hard by the snowfall.”
Up to 35 cm of snow fell at some locations. Wetter.24 reports:
Imagine the surprise of German vacationers returning from Italy over the Alps and being told to turn back because of snow in the summertime! Wetter.24 continues:
On Friday it was already snowing at 2000 meters and during the past night the snow line dropped to 1600 meters, and even less at some localities, thus many peaks are now covered with a blanket of snow.
A total of 21 cm of snow fell on Säntis from Friday morning to Saturday morning. On the Zugspitze 45 cm was reported, of which 35 cm fell during the last 24 hours. The rest fell during the night of Thursday to Friday. It is not unusual that winter shows up for the first time in the Alps at the end of August.”
“Oh, now I get it,” says P. Gosselin on NoTricksZone. “Snowfalls and skiing are “rare and a thing of the past” only in the dead of winter. But snows in August, on the other hand, are completely normal?
Gee, climate science is making more and more sense with every passing day.
Finally, I was just sent the following chart depicting Germany’s summertime temperatures for the last 16 years.

Runaway warming? Looks like it ran away for good 10 years ago – and it’s not coming back. (Chart from Josef Kowatsch).

Here’s a piece of news for you to look over as well Rob when you get the chance.
Buckle-up Northern Hemisphere!
First snow falls for the Scottish Highlands forecast for Tuesday-Wednesday this week. Such is the ‘warming’ world
those are SUMMER???? temps?
not warm enough to take more then one jumper off:-)
no wonder the german greens are a bit quiet:-)
hard to sell warming while people need jumpers and heating.
In Barrie, Ontario at 7 am we have a thin skin of ice on the flat roof of the building I live in. It is a very thin layer and covers the edge of the water on the roof but it is there for now. I’d say it is a definite sign of the approach of fall and winter. Summer is on its way out.
The false prophet Al Gore really is a Chicken Little, all his predictions screwed up.
The Old Farmer’s almanac breaks the US down into 16 regions. For the next 2 months they predict lower than normal temps in all but 3 areas. They claim an 80% average accuracy rate for the last 220 years that they have been doing it. Last year they were sitting at 90.6%. They will not reveal their methodology but a major portion of their conclusions comes from the study of solar science, sunspots etc. Sounds a lot like what Mr. Corbyn does.
I know it sounds kind of hokey and old timey but it might be worth a look.
It also sounds like much of the lower 48 is in for a frosty autumn.
No I don’t sell the magazine.
