Today's four cfs runs keep Eastern US well below normal in the middle of April at least, but it looks like heat is beginning to build into the Plains

we are certainly not crammed, we are WAY to spread out. what we need is a proper mass transit system then the S.FL metro area can see it's population increase by 3% each year until we hit 20 million

Lol let's try to minimize skin showing.
Exactly

Sunshine breaking the clouds here.
Why do you even wear clothes.
I mean it so silly. Just run naked. Free free free

A spring snowfall is great and fun for anybody; bring it, I say . Let blooming season commence in May when it will be much more welcome and won't become tiresome well before summer arrives; let the joy of the advent of blooms, bulbs, warmth, and rain come later so it will still be with us for the heart of the warm season rather than being a sweaty tapped-out bore. 2014 has the potential to be the nicest spring for the U.S. east of the Rockies since...well, 2013, actually. It would be funny (and for you tragic?) if South Carolina ends up with more late season snowfall than parts of the Northeast.



Never - this is but the beginning of Laurentian reglaciation, stage two of the Cult of Icy Doom's plan to terraform the Earth to suit our life form .



We see enough of that in the United States in summer - adding on spring and autumn to skin-showing season really makes it wear out its welcome. I myself would go so far as to say that even summer alone is too long a time to endure the sight of skimpy clothing on the general population, but I'm feeling generous today.
I notice it started here today. More cherry blossoms.

The leaves didn't come to May here last year. Very very late.

True make the everglades more useful.

Interesting, long range models keep us cool through May, but then heat us up during the summer..

Possible Clues Into the Summer
March 17, 2014; 3:06 PM

As I mentioned in the previous blog, I wanted to show you what the general long-range computer model forecast consensus indicates in terms of weather patterns each month through August.
A few things to keep in mind.....
1. My interpretation is strictly based on the latest combined multi-model ensemble forecast system (National/International), which is still experimental but has shown increased skill over individual models. These are not AccuWeather. com forecasts.
2. Model skill declines steadily beyond April, so do not take these as gospel. Model skill is usually higher with temperature compared to precipitation.
3. Due to a lack of signal (neutral ENSO for instance), these forecasts are heavily influenced by current conditions such as ocean water temperatures and ice coverage. The forecast for cooler temperatures around the Great Lakes in May is likely a reflection of the much higher-than-normal ice cover, which may lead to colder-than-normal waters in April/May, which has a localized cooling influence.
3b. Also, when there is a lack of signal I have noticed that the model ensemble tends to lean much more toward warmer anomalies versus cooler anomalies. Part of this may be due to the fact that the Canadian normals are still too low and need to be adjusted upward due to longer term climate change.
4. There continue to be growing signs that we are headed for overdue El Nino conditions in the equatorial Pacific, perhaps as early as the summer, though I lean more toward the early fall. If El Nino does return, we could start to see some impacts perhaps as early as this winter in the northern U.S. and Canada. With an El Nino, the good news is that the extended long-range models will have a stronger climate signal to latch onto, which could lead to improved forecast skill next winter and the following spring.
5. There appears to be solid consensus for a stronger-than-normal monsoon in the southern U.S. Rockies this summer.
6. Models are also projecting drier-than-normal conditions (less tropical storms/hurricanes) in the tropical breeding grounds of the Atlantic late this summer and into the fall, which may be a reflection of cooler waters, dry air and the start of El Nino.
7. Areas that are not shaded in the maps below either indicate near-normal temperatures/precipitation or are an indication of high uncertainty.

Most definitely crammed into that tiny bit of land between the Everglades and the ocean. I think Miami itself is about 10 miles wide before you start hitting swamp, lol. Your area is one big condo block, concrete jungle jammed pack with people, at least in winter. You can hardly move. Proof yet again that the only really decently warm winter playground in the Continental US is at the very bottom of Florida.

I'll bet that Europe has more USDA zone 10 areas than the USA. Pathetic given our latitude.
