Unbelievable. I was in West Virginia just last week on vacation. The temperatures were between 75 and 80 degrees.
—here in Britain on the TV News programmes we’re being told that this snow is due to Sandy hitting a cold front coming down from Canada. Is this correct, or is something else going on? (I no longer trust the BBC for anything!)
Yes that is correct.
The set-up was very similar to this:
http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/10/27/look-familiar/
The BBC, in this case, is correct. An arctic front swept down from Canada and collided with extra-tropical storm Sandy. The precipitation on the western side of the frontal boundary was in the form of snowfall — a blizzard.
Exactly, Kirk.. The Weather Channel and Accuweather screwed up completely because they rely on the antiquated GFS model.. only accurate within 48 hours of a weather event. Andrew Martin of The Weather Space and Kevin Tollis of WxRisk.com both had the massive impacts and track of Sandy nailed down a week last Friday using the sophisticated Euro model, along with other models that they themselves have developed. We were prepped here in West Virginia 5 days before the snow blasted us as a result. The snow stopped overnight here, but it is snowing again now. Robert, Chris Bailey of KY Weather also uses several models and has been absolutely ace too regarding his forecasting. Something in today’s forecast REALLY caught me eye. I think you might be interested:
“I have to say this pattern is impressing me. When you get such an anomalous storm like we just had with Sandy, the pattern NORMALLY snaps back to normal or above this time of year. That just is not happening and could be a sure fire sign old man winter isn’t playing around this year.
Are we done with mild temps? No. I’m watching the end of next week into the following weekend for a massive plains storm to crank up. This could put warm us up for a few days and even throw a strong storm potential our way. Many of the models are honing in… there is a ton of cold air across Canada that is just waiting for something to unleash it into the lower 48. Things may very well turn wintry after that storm blows through. Not that we haven’t seen wintry already.”
We have already shattered snow records here in central WV. Likewise with Kentucky. More to come methinks!

SNOWMAGEDDON CONTINUES HERE IN WEST VIRGINIA! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.483669244988761.109093.100000370684406&type=1
The glaciers worldwide are increasing (despite the oscillations of the Arctic icecap we had above average ice extent at the end of April/2012), the stratospheric temperatures are going down for 30 years in a row,

The Antarctic icecap is reaching record high, repeatedly, in particular after the end of 2007.
The Sun’s polar fields are “stretching” in an unusual way

as they have not done probably since the last grand minimum (Dalton? Maunder? we still don’t know) because this didn’t happen during the low cycle C14 of the beginning of the XX century.
We’re learning with the facts as (almost) everyone else, but it’s NOT Sandy that is causing the snow, more probably it’s the Sun that is causing the unusual characteristics of Sandy and the cooling climate that we’re observing worldwide.
I guess this is why warmists confuse cold on warm and warm on cold or whatever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLwaPP9cxT4&feature=endscreen
It’s because cold continental air from Canada got pulled down and wrapped around the southern end of the storm. This and the copious amounts of moisture caused blizzard conditions in the high elevations of West Virginia and other parts of Appalachia and the lower Ohio Valley. Meanwhile here in SW Pennsylvania it was mostly rain in the lower elevations. Got a thin coating of snow on vehicles and grassy areas overnight the last two nights that melted away in the rain come morning.
Beautiful pictures really!
So much for these “warmists” fruitcakes that have no clue what they’re talking about. They are to be totally ignored at all costs. This winter will be the big one for the midwest and eastern USA – now that La-Nina is gone and a colder and snowy pattern is likely to set in. Many snow and cold records will be set this winter. Better stock up on food and water.
What makes this particularly sad is we have the socialist-totalitarian police state installed by the Obama WH over the last 4 years firing up their Global Warming propaganda on news of Sandy’s impact and taking administrative action to shut down much need energy and heating production going into winter. Specifically, the EPA is is stoking the boilers red-hot to get coal-fired power generation and heat banded before the end of the year, on the chance Romney might get elected.
