And I wonder whether by Feb 12 will the Winter Olympics finally get their snow….only it’d be too much? Be a nice bit of karma there.
See, global warming is true! What else can explain earth turning into a snowball!?
One year ago, we had 30 inches on the ground from a single storm event in Spokane. Had over six feet in two weeks. Nearly 100 inches for the season.
Our blizzard barely warranted a mention in the cross state Seattle media.
Now, the east gets less than that and the whole world is about to end with round the clock saturation news coverage. Bunch of wimps!
Uh Oh.
THESE PRELIMINARY RECORDS WILL BE QUALITY CONTROLLED BY NOAA’S NATIONAL CLIMATIC DATA CENTER
Where’s the raw data?
Anyone have contours software?
But all of this has been foretold in the book of Global Warming. Repent now, ye sinners.
While watching a scroll across the bottom of the Weather Channel (I think it was) I saw a list of the maximum recorded snow fall for each state. Of those I saw, Pennsylvania had the highest but I do not remember the town. I recall about 40 inches. I’ll see if I can find a site that doesn’t stop at the Mason-Dixon Line.
The difference, Eric (20:21:02), is that it is supposed to be cold and snowy in Spokane, which is almost in Canada for those not aware of the Lilac City.
Link to raw data long lat amounts stations etc…

Eric, in comedy, timing is everything.

STORM SUMMARY NUMBER 07 FOR MID-ATLANTIC WINTER STORM
NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER CAMP SPRINGS MD
1000 PM EST SAT FEB 06 2010
…HISTORIC SNOWSTORM HAS ENDED ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES…
ALL BLIZZARD WARNINGS…WINTER STORM WARNINGS AND WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORIES HAVE EXPIRED ACROSS THE AFFECTED REGION.
FOR A DETAILED GRAPHICAL DEPICTION OF THE LATEST
WATCHES…WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES…PLEASE SEE http://WWW.WEATHER.GOV
koko (20:11:56) :
Arctic Oscillation Index going deeply negative again.
Why does the graph cut off at -4, is that an instrument ‘zero’ value?
If not, where can we see the actual value?
If this global warming continues, our property values here in Florida may go back up. Of course that also involves an influx of cold northerners to the neighborhood, you have to take the good with the bad I guess 🙂

Uh Oh.

Anyone have contours software?
My reply;
I have Surfer 8 but the data is space delineated somewhat and imports parsed into only 5 columns, would need to do a lot of cut and past trimming of the data to present in contour map form, or a conversion to a comma delineated format.
NYT called ‘no record set in D.C.’ early yesterday afternoon. Funny, everything else pointed to a record. Preliminary records will now be quality controlled by National Climatic Data Center. Drum roll please. (I though this was weather, not climate, well, NCDC has the ball and they called time out.)
On a side note…
New sunspot 1044 is unleashing M-class flares now. Latest appears to be an M-4 flare.
It’s possible this one could produce an X-class flare for the first time since Dec ’06 iirc….

Wowzers, there’s going to be a few heart attacks happening in area over the next few days… shoveling themselves out.
Another gate left open? That makes 3 in one day.

Found this on Bishop Hill.
The more we examine this nonsense the higher the trail gets.

With Washington shut down, Obama will be able to hunker down in the Oval Office with Holdren and Chu – to solve that nasty global warming problem.
