After a prolonged stretch of very mild weather in the eastern U.S., winter will return in February. |
As we progress into late spring, it appears that most of the southern U.S. will experience very warm temperatures, with any cool weather confined to more northern latitudes. |
I would guess that the next 20 winters will be colder than the last 20. |
It could be the warmest on record in the Chicago/Minneapolis area. |
There'll be a lot of arctic air coming into southern Canada in about a week and there's a pretty good shot that a lot of it is going to make it into the Northeast eventually - during the last half of the month. |
This 25-30 [year] cycle is consistent with cycles in global ocean temperatures, which are the primary drivers of weather patterns. |
