Got sent home from site at 11am, walkways, fences, anything not tied down went over, 4 trees in road on 30 minute journey. So lots of firewood for the cutting and taking? Is that acceptable with a verbal request? Glad to hear it wasn't worse. It's still howling out there, I can't remember a period of such strong wind, keep coming across partially tree blocked roads though to be fair I've done alot of miles since Friday ferrying kids to and from friends houses etc. Pretty sure once this calms down it'll statistically be amongst the most windy periods we've experienced. Land is saturated now too so when, for example, like yesterday evening a squall front comes through, roads become lakes quite quickly, fairly wild travelling conditions. |

Global warming forces tropical storms to higher latitudes. Simple. |

Global warming forces tropical storms to higher latitudes. Simple. Time to compare this event to monsters of the past that are descriptively documented in the records. Was looking at nullschool and the "fetch" on this big boy seemed to be the whole Atlantic Ocean ... right along the boundary line between the mid-Atlantic gyre and the NAD. Straight shot. And whether indicative or not, the North Atlantic (45+) SSTAs have dropped -0.4C in the last month, while the Mid-Atlantic is still rolling along at +0.7C. Coincidence? Solar-driven cooling drives higher energy gradient conditions to lower latitudes. Simple? No ... but "inconvenient". Will put a little starch in the Gore's jockey shorts. Tallyho!

Strong winds from the south here in Houston tonight. Lots of moisture being pulled north. Usually a portend of severe weather to our NE.

Middle Earth observations suggest that our winter really started in February and the Arctic has been pulsing our way at intervals of five-to-seven days on and 3-to-5 days off. During the offs we get the northward pulses of sub-tropical air. The Tropics have been weaker under low solar. I can see this pattern continuing throughout March at least. Winter 2014 was much like that. If it goes into April, some ag things may get squirrelly. Pulses will get less regular, weaker and warmer as the Sun's vertical rays move northward. PDO has now fallen to levels equivalent to 2011 and 1955. The PDO's positive phase follows and lags ENSO. Our negative PDO and ENSO periods are getting deeper and longer under low solar. Weather patterns have been following these decreasing energy regimes. There are two large post-cycle El Ninos that immediately follow the low cycles 20 and 24. Reasons? That post-24 warmer water is just now working its way out of the system.
NOTE that I screwed up the title. It should be 1 Mth and 5 Mth.

Here we go again, tho it's been a while and not really epic.
What's the chances of this developing into something 🤷🏼♂️ (not that high....)

Third round of weekly snow inbound. Another 1 to 3 inches forecast. Three rounds in February is unusual here. But back to 60F by the 2nd. We need Gulf moisture to get significant snowfall. Longitudinal flow is working overtime.

42 here in Houston. Overcast, drizzling,windy. About 20 degrees below normal. Cold winter so far.

As I feared ... late spring. |

After most of the snow on my front lawn was gone, something that doesn’t usually happen till late spring, we had a blast of winter come through. After about a week of that, another chinook rolled in so back to above average temperatures. We have a fair bit of snow but not enough to really help the farmers. March is usually our snowiest month so things could still change a lot.

It was fricking cold up in BC this past week while skiing my fingers got cold even with the liners. Maybe time to buy some real gloves and ditch the cheap $10 Costco ones, that said it looks like spring is coming down in the bottom lands, I see lots of buds.

Spring is here in Southern Alabama. My pickup gets a coat of pollen nightly.
