16 July 2011
There was snow skiing at Arapahoe Basin (Colorado) on the 4th of July this year. Here in south eastern Washington state, snow drifts along open ridges in the Blue Mountains at 4,000 feet finally melted during the second week of July. This is the second time I have observed this since the mid 1960s.

Here on the farm north of Seattle we have hundreds of acres of hay we can’t cut because we can’t get any temps above 70 deg. F or more the two days in a row without rain. First, we had no spring (the coldest April on record); now we’re having no summer. I can’t remember anything like this since the 1970′s.
Send some global warming, Al. Quick, before we lose the whole crop.

From Bishop Hill
....Daily Telegraph environment correspondent (Louise Gray) reports that the Met Office is forecasting a cold start to the autumn. A Mr Jonathan Powell, of Positive Weather Solutions, (I am curious how he manages to do that), is quoted as saying "...we do expect frosts to set in early this year, with temperatures dipping sharply later in November and leading into a cold winter."
Consensus setting in already?

Also from Bishop Hill, news that Sweden refuses lease of ice-breaker to the USA - they need it for the Baltic, thanks very much!
Tobias says
"Being a swede interested in these questions I quite remember how the old boss of the ministry with responsibility had to fight "tooth and nail" (or whatever it is you say across the channel) to keep an extra icebreaker when the last government wanted to rationalize them away as there "would be no need for them in the future". Last laugh, and all that... ... there's been normous trouble the last two winters shipping products from the north and had the extra ice-breaker not been in operation it would have been disastrous for many a swedish companies."

from Lubos Motl
While global warming is threatening the life of our planet if not the Milky Way, Austria woke up to something that mavericks like to enjoy at the end of the summer: snow.
It's been pretty intense and some ski resorts (which were predicted not to see any snow again a few years ago) received as much as 50 centimeters of new snow. In the summer.
from Mike Lorrey
.... today there fell snow as low as 1200 meters, with heavy falls in St. Moritz, a very early time for a blizzard in the alps.
-----------
Another very cold winter forecast for Europe. Interesting times what with the Eurozone crisis, Germany eschewing nuclear an' all. We'll see.

Getting ready for more global warming: Heathrow airport triples snow clearance fleet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-15105627Forget the Indian Summer, cold is on the way again. Be prepared to be shovelling all that global warming from your drive again this winter. |

May be the latest Attenborough series Frozen Planet www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zj1q5/Frozen_Planet_To_the_Ends_of_the_Earth/ will remind those who seem to have forgotten that our planet is still in a long term ice-age despite the occasional brief excursions into a slightly warmer "interglacial". This why there is still so much ice on the Earth and why the oceans are still icy cold at depth. It is many eons ago that the Earth was ice-free and the oceans warm. Remember this when alarmists try to spook you with tales of "catastrophic" warming. |

Record snowfall for “Climate Justice Day” in New York
Posted on October 30, 2011 by Anthony Watts
'It just doesn’t get any better than this. The Occupy Wall Street Mob had a “Climate Justice Day” scheduled for today. I don’t think they figured on a “Nightmare on Wall Street” irony like this.'

I have just learned via the BBC that December 2010 was the coldest month for a Century in the UK.

Last December was the coldest December documented for the UK since nationwide records began 100 years ago, the Met Office has confirmed. For central England, it was the second coldest December since 1659. However, Richard Black, the BBC's alarmist guru, could help himself from telling us "global temperatures show 2010 was one of the warmest years on record." (Thanks, Richard! What would the alarmists do without your constant refrain of AGW!) "However, the first analysis released of global temperatures shows 2010 was one of the warmest years on record." Yup, it would have been, Richard! www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12119329 |

From the "Will it Snow" BBC2 programme showing now we learn that the UK Met Office will not attempt to pinpoint snowfalls more than few days ahead. Very wise in view of their past record!
However, Morrisons supermarket uses a private commercial weather forecaster to help them be prepared for very adverse snow conditions.
The presenter suggested, on the basis of some brave forecaster willing to stick his neck out, that there could be severe snow fall in the NE and Scotland in the last week in November 2011, snow flurries throughout December 2011 and the worst snow in the New Year early 2012.
Let's wait and see what happens and then refer back to these forecasts, eh?

I've viewed Corbyn's predictions for this winter.
27th Nov - 28th Dec he says he is 80% sure of exceptionally cold weather in UK and Western Europe. Huge snowfalls at times especially around 1st-2nd and 14th-15th Dec in UK. We'll see!
You can find his predictions from 23rd to 26th minute of this video
Corbyn's forecasts, if I remember right, are based on solar cycles modulated by lunar cycles and historical research.

re. Corbyn's forecasts. On 6th November, when we still in our somewhat balmy Indian Summer, I said Well, Scotland has been getting it in the neck for the last few days- gales, snow, thousands of schools closed, icy roads. (Winter has arrived with a vengeance in Leeds, too, these last few days - shame we are just about to put the roof on one of my new extensions!) "Strongest winds EVER battering the UK" now being reported on PM by Eddie Mair. 165 mph gust recorded in Cairngorms. "Exceptional circumstances - lots of wood and metal blowing about." Forth Road Bridge closed this morning when winds gusted to 84mph. All major bridges in Scotland closed. Looks like Piers was right. He did say VERY SEVERE! I wonder how far "EVER" dates back to? Storm blackout leaves Thousands in Scotland without power. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-16079849Public told not to travel as winds batter east coasts Scotland Shut Down By Snow and 165mph gusts Scotland on red alert as hurricane-force forecast shuts schools and cripples transport network www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-16079849 Scotland braces for hurricane force winds www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2011/dec/08/weather-scotland-uk?CMP=NECNETTXT8187 |
