5. Of particular concern is the added trend toward cold wet springs as seen in 2013, 2014 and now in 2015 which caused spring planting to be delayed. A plow and bulldozer remove snow on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 from Mount Baker Highway near Artist Point. The popular hiking and viewing spot should open in early May. The earliest recorded date the point’s parking lot had opened before this year was June 29 in 2005. www.bellinghamherald.com/2015/05/07/4282652_still-no-date-set-for-reopening.html?rh=1#storylink=cpyAt least in the Pacific Northwest, in 2015, we are not having a cold wet spring, as it appears a new record for an early opening of the Artist Point road will occur this month. I would also point out Mt. Baker holds the world record for snowfall. Here on the southern edge of the Midwest, and across the stations contained in the north-south transects of the grain belt, March and April have been 1-2 degrees C above long-term normal. On a line from Lincoln, IL though Indianapolis, IN, Youngstown, OH and Bradford, PA March temps were about 1.7 to 2.4 C BELOW normal and April was less than 1 C above normal. Vermont and Maine temps show nearly 3 C below normal in March and nearly normal in April. So there is a definite East to West gradient of cold to warm very similar to but less intense than February. Will it intensify, metastasize, and spread westward next winter/spring? If these records are legit, then the National Weather Service may also now be called 'apostate'.

but Code you forgot disruption.
there will be massive disruption as the new normal.
if you can photograph a "disruption" and define it we will be able to KPI it.

So the plows and blowers worked harder this year?

An interesting discussion by E.M.Smith on Bond Events and the probability we are on the edge of one. "That would be Bond Event 3. An extreme cold plunge. Bond Event 2 was “drought in the Mediterranean” and the collapse of late Bronze Age cultures. Bond Event 1 was the Migration Era Pessimum about 1.4 kya, also known as the Dark Ages.
The wiki claims that the Little Ice Age was Bond Event Zero, but they are wrong. These things come around ever 1470 or so years. 540 AD onset of Dark Ages, plus 1470, gives 2010 … or just about now…"One wonders what has a period of 1400 years (give or take a couple of hundred) that drives these. Any suggestions? Could it be the correlation of several cycles all pointing in the same direction at the same time?

Indeed Ratty.
I was thinking that given the 'epitrochoid' orbit around the barycenter causing a weakening solar dynamo and or more CME's, the weakening and movement of the Earth's magnetic field, the AMO going negative with the PDO, a thermohaline change, all happening at the same time as the large La Nina driven in the way Theo expects. Plus of course the unknown unknowns. If we get all the cycles moving in the same sense - are we looking at more than just a cold period in the way the other Bond and D-O events seem to have gone? It is a case of all other things not being equal.
As there is a periodicity of 1470 years (average) it would imply some astronomic cycles.

Any suggestions? Could it be the correlation of several cycles all pointing in the same direction at the same time? I would answer yes Nautonnier, however, these are astronomic cycles and with the Sun also affected by the motions of the outer planets, particularly Jupiter and Saturn as well as Uranus and Neptune when it comes to the Sun's angular rotation, condition and output, what we are seeing are effects like Bond Events that are cyclic patterns associated with solar and planetary configurations. What I have is an abrupt entry into the next global cooling climate regime for the Earth going into the early 2020s. And it will last through that decade and into the 2030s when it will peak. It will be a strong neo-boreal climate event.

Hi there,
I am new to this site, but find this fascinating. Can you give me more information about how the thought that man caused global warming goes against physics? Why don't more people know this?!
Thank you, Tracee

Why don't more people know this?! Thank you, Tracee Welcome Tracee!! Many reprobates lurk here...but at least some of them talk sense  Someone else may have a few links ready they can paste and copy in....but you can do worse then browse wattsupwiththat.com or theresilientearth.com Unfortunately, my experience is if you question the warming philosophy...you get ridiculed, called names and labelled a 'denier'. Most mainstream information outlets are not interested in non warming stories....Therefore most people live without an understanding that there may be anything other then a warming catastrophe just around the corner. Keep an open mind and keep to scientific fact, the climate doesn't care what we think anyway!!
