Just the Northern Hemisphere, afaik. The wacky jet stream itself is therefore not a "global" phenomenon. It is, however, caused by warming oceans, which is global. There will be areas that are less affected than others, of course. But everyone will be impacted eventually, as more of the planet becomes unsuitable for agriculture or , in some cases, human habitation. The good news is that you and I will probably be dead before then. With any luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people have believed the sky was falling since the beginning. I also believe that if the people who we have placed in decision making positions truly believed this is happening, they would be focusing on fixing the largest contributors to the problem, not financially punish the ones who are forced/locked in to using what those largest contributors provide. The longer I live and the more I see from these people in decision making positions, the more I realize that pretty much the opposite of what they say is what is really going on. That said, I have seen several cycles in my 50 years from what they said was normal at the time to abnormal back to normal and so on. There's also proof it has been constantly changing since before people were established as we are on the planet. I do not think we're the full cause or will be the demise. I've been hearing we have 5 years left since I was a kid ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennywtelejazz Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) It seems the snow has cleared up around here in my part of town . Already the weather folks are talking about another round of snow possibly starting tonight. I did learn something new today when I heard a weather man say a phrase that included " Spring Winter Weather " as a description in his forecast . Must be a new thing huh ? A few fellas here mentioned they were from states that got a lot of snow . New York State where I'm from held its own in that regard . We got a decent amount of snow and although the volume trialed by comparison to a couple of states mentioned , it wasn't by as much as one would think . I remember the first time I considered taking an Anger Management Class .I was out in the cold wet snow shoveling my car for about 3 and a half hours . I was feeling strong too man , I had even broken a nice hot sweat and I figured I only had about 20 mins of work left to shovel and my car would be fee and out of the snow . Out of nowhere came a large N.Y.C. Snowplow heading right at me . I started waving my arms frantically thinking he would go around me . No such luck , he held the line and I wound up getting out of his way . Literally in the span of seconds the snowplow packed enough snow back into my car to the point where it even went above my cars roof . ?

InstrEd Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I'm in a circle and the snow plow literally comes through and the snow slides off the plow right in front of our driveway. It couldn't be timed any better ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennywtelejazz Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 On 4/12/2022 at 9:23 AM, bitflipper said: The point of Kenny's post is that it doesn't snow much in his area, even during the coldest months of winter, so snow in April is indeed a very rare occurrence. I'm a few hours north of there, and even though we're farther north than notoriously snowy places such as Chicago and Buffalo, the jet stream usually protects us. Well put Dave ! I couldn't have said it better . On 4/12/2022 at 9:23 AM, bitflipper said: That's what's spooky about the changes going on now - the jet stream has become unstable. That's why you can have devastating winter weather in normally-moderate Texas, oranges freezing on the trees in Florida, and snow in April in the Pacific Northwest. Those things happen when the jet stream deviates from its normal patterns. So yes, while it may be counter-intuitive to blame unseasonably cold weather on global warming, that is indeed the case. Yes , these types of weather occurrences seem to bring up more questions than answers ... On 4/12/2022 at 9:23 AM, bitflipper said: I struggle every year deciding whether or not to buy a snow shovel. My personal theory is that as soon as I buy a snow shovel, it will never snow here again. Just like the time I bought an air conditioner in July 1979 during a hot streak and never used it again. Left it behind when I moved. Then July 2021 happened. In an area where 90 degrees F is considered a crazy hot day, it hit 115 here. Time to buy another A/C, I think, for the good of all. ? OK you heard it here first . Lets all chip in and buy Dave a shovel so it won't snow here any more ... Yes , that 115 day we had last year was totally freaky ....I stayed indoors w the pooch , we toughed it out as best we could all the best, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC , I came along with my nice new shiny snowplow and I repacked all the snow you had shoveled back onto your cars ,. I had a lot of fun that day and I sure hope to see you guys again next year .
