Yup Siggy, climate change costs....... how much did the snow end up costing Boston? With low sea ice and a failing NAD east/central US might have to get used to such extremes over the immediate future.......as the west dries further.... pretty tame winter this side of the Pond though? Fuchsias and Geraniums came through no issue even though we're over 120m up in the Pennines.......
And the Sun is feeling good once it's out!

Boston got some snow, it is winter. It snowed a lot in the 1880's in the Midwest. Cost a lot and people died. Back then it was called normal weather variations. Today it is called?

This is a real problem. Up until now, you could reliably get the facts by assuming that whatever Trenberth's position is, reality is the opposite. Without fail. Now Trenberth has gone and messed up the world for the rest of us. Old way: Step 1. Trenberth announces sun rises in West. Step 2. Flip Trenberth's announcement to find the facts. Reality: The sun sets in the West. Process now fails: Step 1. Trenberth announces sun rises in West. Step 2. Trenberth announces that he lied when he stated that the sun rises in the West. Step 3.

Don't be too smug graywolf, pretty sure your forecast is 'risk of snow' tomorrow. .... It may not have been severe winter, but, as every week so far this year, I had to defrost the truck this morning, so not warm either....

Sig ... I note that the 120 day precipitation pattern is very tightly constrained. Iowa and the upper midwest are on the dry side. So far we are on the wetter side. Attachments:120DayPrecip.oxps (149.71 KB)

According to Dr Pielke Jr. its called "less costly" than in the past.

If you went back in time, you would recognize a normal "weather break" provided by the Ohio River Valley. A lot of times there is a north south issue in times of more extreme weather. This year, the northern zone is sucking in regards to precip.

This was the edge of the part of the storm that had the tornado(s) that passed through Tulsa yesterday evening. The clouds got spooky enough looking that I hightailed it back home in a hurry after taking this photo in my neighborhood. It had a cyclone looking cloud that circled around it and clouds moving north south east and west. I believe that the tornado was in that grey, rainy patch in the bottom. Not visible but it ate some houses and buildings.

I don't like that the government is keeping those records confidential. Stinks. Really makes no sense does it? The ones who have access to those records have really valuable information, and most certainly would have a leg up on property values, trends, etc.

We did head down to the basement a few minutes after I took that picture. Any tornado has my respect, but this particular storm was not huge and was only noteworthy in that it was crossing over a 1 million MSA Tulsa. These storms cruise across empty parts of the state very regularly and don't get a second look.

Walnut, how has March panned out - tornado-wise - over there, in your neck of the woods and generally?

Walnut, how has March panned out - tornado-wise - over there, in your neck of the woods and generally? Well, really this storm was the first activity, and it was a little early in the year. In Oklahoma it feels like the jet stream is north of us now and this unseasonal warmth that has moved in in the last 2 or 3 weeks makes me feel like we are going to have an active tornado spring. Just a hunch...
