But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
- Robert Frost

Accuweather.com and Joe Bastardi predict an active hurricane season this summer.  Yes Virginia, there is a summer in our future.  But not yet.


                                                         
Oh no!  Another snowstorm March 3rd.?
The GFS forecast model, as of noon today, shows yet another coastal storm headed up the east coast next week. In another year, there might not be much to get excited about, but this year the odds of seeing yet another big snow are pretty good.  We still have a negative NAO, blocking near Greenland, a trough over the Northeast, and an active train of storms moving across the country.  And still just enough cold air to get it to snow again.  We aren't done yet!

Why is this winter so bad?  It's all a matter of perspective.  We have had many easy winters for decades. Now, things have swung back to the way winters used to be.  At least for a while, it will feel like Global Warming has been put on hold.  But it hasn't really.  When it is cold here, it usually is warm someplace else.

BOWLING FOR BLIZZARDS PART 5!  THE WEATHER WILL ALWAYS SURPRISE YOU !
 Beware the Ides of March.
