What happened to Al Gore, telling us that we would never see snow in winter EVER again 12 years ago ??????
Well, you see, what he meant was that from now on we would see it in Autumn. So he was right!
Even though not a blizzard for this one, the main thing I want to point out is that all the news about the sea ice in the arctic in August hasn’t made a damned stinch of difference in the extent of early cold (or snow) potential in the northern hemisphere. These spin doctors we talked about earlier keep forgetting that sea ice floats ontop of an ocean – where strong currents and upwelling from storm systems can easily change sea ice all the time in that location.
But no matter what the sea ice extent is – it sure does not change the amount of cold air heading south from the arctic, or from higher altitudes.
Well the last thing I remember is that these same people like Gore told us that we would never see snow again, period – in ANY season. So I guess he was wrong LOL.
