astromet: I agree that the NH will be warm and dry for summer/fall of 2012. We should see an early spring for most of North America Sigurdur with the exception of parts of the PNW and of course Alaska and the Canadian Northern Territories. I continue to see a warmer than average spring, summer and autumn of 2012 just ahead. |

We're transitioning at a good clip into this early winter season, but again, it will lead to an earlier-than-normal spring 2012 with a very warm climate all of next year. Theodore, I admit I am prejudiced. I do prefer warmer weather (it's just me being me -- not a climate thing). So, I hope you are right... If you've noticed, most of North America has been drier than normal without much snow - with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, Canadian Northern Territories and Alaska that have received winter precipitation of snow and ice storms. See -> news.yahoo.com/ice-storm-blankets-washington-day-snowstorm-154256640.htmlAgain, winter 2012 will be brief for much of the northern hemisphere. Ahead is a early spring that is drier and warmer than normal along with a dry year and very warm summer season. The winter season will take place mainly through mid-January through mid-February for much of the country; then an early spring arrives. We've seen the signs of this with several days interspersed in the U.S. east coast of days in the 50s and sunshine. These are indications of the early spring I've forecasted to come by late February into early March. |

Theodore, I admit I am prejudiced. I do prefer warmer weather (it's just me being me -- not a climate thing). So, I hope you are right... Astronomical configurations clearly show that spring 2012 will be early throughout most of North America. That was the reason for my 'mild winter' forecast made last year for winter 2012. While winter is not yet over and we will see winter action in March, the overall direction is for a warmer-than-normal spring with above average temperatures. My long-range forecast for March 2012 has much of North American temperatures well above average with highs highs and lows of the east coast at 55.9 degrees and 37.6 degrees. Growers should push products early this year but customers will find that nurseries are not ready because they are not on the same page as mother nature. |

Astromet:
Seems like spring arrived in December instead of February. Dec, Jan & Feb were each >+300 degree-days warmer than average all winter in OH.
