When Joe Bastardi was there I put a lot more stock into their forecast. Joe's now at Weatherbell.com, however, he has been saying for a while now that the next couple of winters he expects to be quite cold. I expect it to be much different from last year.

It can't be any worse than last year....... could it? Or, it can only get better(colder) than last year! :beer:

Speaking of Joe Bastardi...



He does say this is a bit extreme, but the trend is definitely colder.

I think if the North Atlantic is 16-20 degrees warmer than normal, we're going to have bigger problems than whether we're 4-6 degrees colder or not...

Wonder what the average the temp is for the area off Baffin Island? Does that increase put it close to freezing, which is a problem.

Well it was going to be warmer then average because of lack of cold this winter, seems like time too surf now.

This explains it

Talk about hedging their bets...

If a weak El Niño develops, there is a chance many of these cities will have near- to above-average snowfall. Most cities would tend to pick up more snow this winter, when compared to last winter's "snow desert".
If a strong El Niño develops, there is a significant chance many of these cities will once again end up with little snow this winter.

Accuweather goes off the deep end

^ The forecaster is scarier than the forecast.

Upon further thought, I get the feeling he is making fun of all his peers who do exactly that. I wonder if he was fired from Accuweather?
