The spin doctors are trying to tell us that the early snow in North Dakota is “not that weird an occurrence.”
However, according to the Grand Forks Herald, on average, the first full inch of snow doesn’t fall until Nov. 11 in Fargo and Nov. 15 in Grand Forks, N.D.
They’re talking about ONE inch. But this storm is expected to dump six inches – or more! – of the white stuff on the area.
According to the National Weather Service, the potential exists for six or more inches of snow across the northern Red River Valley into northwest Minnesota. (See http://iceagenow.info/2012/10/significant-early-winter-storm-north-dakota/ )
Records going back to 1940 show that, in the Red River Valley and the Devils Lake Basin, the last time the area received early measurable snow was 62 years ago, on Oct. 2, 1950. Another notable snowstorm in those areas happened on Oct. 7-8, 1985.
The weather service defines measurable snow as 1 inch in depth or greater.
So, depending on your interpretation of the word, an early October snowstorm may not be “weird.” But it certainly is highly unusual.
Whatever happened to “global warming”?

Hey Robert!
How is the Italian book deal going?
La Prossima Era Glaciale is available here: http://iceagenow.info/2011/04/la-prossima-era-glaciale/
Great cover and congratulations.
Keep spreading the truth.
War is peace, freedom is slavery, cooling is warming…
Simply warming has become cooling…
I am really hoping it gets into print in Europe. Your ideas need to be spread about as much as possible.
Here in Somerset u.k the rain yday a.m seemed to be thawing on the way down ie proto-snow….i think its getting real cold ;o)
as if it has’nt been long enough with no appreciable warming..
I guess it will take till hansens ass freezes before they might…just might,
admit to being WRONG.
They will NEVER admit to being wrong – their careers and reputations are at stake now.
And likely their lives.
They probably made some shady deals where if they are proven wrong their leader will make his followers *vanish* from history thru double crossing.
These people are retards and nutcases !! Typical liberals at work here. That should be so obvious by now that anyone not noticing who they are after all these years is either dumb or totally uninformed.
In fact, they are now talking possible “blizzard conditions” across parts of MN and ND. Would these spin doctors proclaim that this is “normal” now too ?
Is an avalanche in France this past summer also
“the norm” now ???
Is the all-time ice extent record in Antarctica this September “nothing unusual” now ?????
THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOLING ANYONE WHO HAS COMPLETED THE 2ND GRADE IN SCHOOL !
EVEN CHILDREN STANDING OUTSIDE WAITING FOR THE SCHOOLBUS IN SUBZERO COLD IN WINTER AREN’T AS STUPID AS THESE SPIN DOCTORS !!
Of course the warming causes the cooling which causes the warming and means you need to drink more Kool Aid spiked with the good stuff to understand the ‘science’ of it all…..
The Southern Hemisphere is becoming much drier. ANOTHER sure sign of Global Cooling as most everyone knows that when it get’s cold as in winter, it also becomes MUCH drier.
Not sure which southern hemisphere you’re looking at but Australia has just experienced 3 of the wettest years in more than a decade.
La-Nina periods always bring cool wet periods to eastern Australiaif you look at the records.
Can’t comment on Southern Africa or South America but I do recall seeing stories about unusual precipitation as the white stuff instead of the wet stuff.
Heh funny you should mention the southern hemisphere cooling C. Peter Davis. Here’s the spin dr take on that one. http://www.livescience.com/23724-southern-hemisphere-drought.html
Double crossing is very common in deals that are too good to be true.
