well... that blows. How is the government going to tax us and save us from this impending ice age?

But .... the global warming will balance it out and there will be no ice just powder!

Well, my own theory is whatever summer is like winter will follow. So far this summer is getting pretty wild. Will we have a wild winter?

Don't mean to bum you all out but "According to NOAA, the chances of a transition into a La Niña by this fall have been downgraded from a 75% chance to a 55-60% chance".

Joe Bastardi's 2016 / 17 Winter , Better than last year !

http://www.weatherbell.com/saturday-summary-july-16-2016
If I understand this correctly - I think he said this year would have a WEAK La Niña and be the opposite of 2011-12 in the North East.

It'll be on the warm side because of warm water off the north east coast but then "flip" sometime in December - maybe late or maybe early. Then that warm water would be fuel for the "battle ground". So COLDER than normal after the "flip" and SNOWIER than normal.

We shall see.
