Exactly....we have had higher humidity, more precip (including snow), and higher nighttime temperatures, while in most places daytime tempertures have either not increased in a statistically significant way or have even declined (but again usually not enough to be statistically significant).

Climate and its feedbacks are very complex (i.e. maybe a warming forcing is repelled with more clouds and humidity).....it's why I believe in what you call you-know-what (and I used to honestly be a skeptic despite politics that are generally but not completely more left than right) but not in the way that it is portrayed....but time will tell either way on who's right.

While the water temp off our beaches in Connecticut are very warm and above normal, check out the Atlantic! The whole Atlantic is cooling off. Well below normal in the Northern Atlantic.

Big implications for us.. Check out the water temps in the North Atlantic!! Day After Tomorrow has some truth with regards to the cooling of the Gulf Current (not the drastic results though)


NOAA won't show this cooling trend though.

Also, reason why the Polar Vortex has been dropping south more in the winter is because the Arctic has warmed up. Lack of and Thinning Acrtic sea ice allows the Vortex to be somewhere else easier.


When the Vortex is further south, Connecticut gets super cold and snowy.

Can you imagine every winter or Spring having a month like March 2014, Feb 2015 or April 2018? Maybe they will become more common and/or stretched out longer.

Looks like there's been close to 1.5 inches at Hartford's Brainard Airport, as of their last reading at 11:53 AM.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NONONONONONONONONO

Because the only thing that makes a long winter bearable is a perfect summer and this ain't it. Neither was last year

If that happens, expect CT’s population to decline [more rapidly]!

lol, I love the seasons and I can love Summers too but every year I'm reminded how I wish there were only 3 seasons. Damn Humidity!

I think there's going to be a battle. We wont see it short term but maybe with an animated map over the next 20 yrs? We'll see people moving East and North away from the drought, heat and humidity of the south & west but people moving south away from the cold snowy winters in the north. lol Maybe the Mid Atlantic is the place to be? Or Ohio Valley.

I been following Kentucky's weather past few years & I have to admit, I think I like it. They don't get as snowy as us though which is the only flaw. lol.

BTW -- An "Ice Age" doesn't mean we all freeze. Just like Global Warming doesn't mean we'll all drown or catch fire. During the last Ice Age North Carolina still reached 70s in Summer so there's still warmth around.
