The Weird Winter of 2006 Continues…

From Melody:

I just read the weather predictions by Caleb Weatherbee from my newsletter and cannot wait for winter to arrive! It has been so warm even for this area (Norfolk VA). Christmas just didn’t seem the same.

I do not understand our local weather people and why they all want it to stay warm – it seems like a sign of global warming – definitely not a good sign. Thanks for the information!

I have to say that this is one weird winter (so far). I am beginning to chalk it up to El Niño. There is more than enough cold stuck in Canada, but until the normal winter jet stream changes we are doomed or blessed with warmer temps. It can change quickly. One person told me that during El Niño years, it is warm at the start and snowy at the end of winter. I guess time will tell. So far, I am disappointed as well.

Next week I’ll be discussing Global Warming. We will also feature a poll to get your thoughts on what is happening long term. Caleb points out that there has been plenty of winter but so far the Midwest, Rockies and Northwest are the only ones to enjoy it.
