And now the Polar Vortex is on its way over the Atlantic towards the UK, though warming as it goes. I love that: even the weather's manners improve en route from the USA to the UK ;-)

It is amazing how much they play up weather now, with killer storms and such. We had a snowstorm last week that they hyped as being near blizzard conditions...okay, it was cold, but we ended up with 5.5" of snow, and the wind never got much about 20mph...wtf? Now they name winter storms, the whole shebang, and I am like they have to be kidding. We had a winter back in 93 when we had snow on the ground until April, literally all the way through. In 95-96 (when they were expanding my house, mind you!) we had three major storms in a row, and the snow was literally several stories by the side of the road, and NJ was shut down for 3 days straight. I remember back in the late 70s (I think it was 77) we had a week of days when the temperature never went much above 0, and was - at night.....ground got so cold, that the following monday temp was like 42, with rain, and everything was paralyzed because with the ground as it was, everything was covered in a sheet of ice.

I do think the weather is going crazy, it is the continuous pattern of weird weather that concerns me more than individual events. One of the things I have noticed is the amount of days with really heavy winds, I am talking with gusts in the 40+ MPH range, which though do happen here in lovely NJ, also aren't that common, over the past 5 or 6 years we see a lot more days like this. I thought it may be just me, but I tend to be very aware of wind (probably from having sailboats for many years), but there was an article recently about flooding at the Jersey Shore, and what they figured out it wasn't tides or heavy storms, but the wind, that was driving flooding happening when otherwise it didn't seem likely to happen.

I don't think it is the polar vortex that bothers me (again, cold snaps covering much of the country have happened before, in my lifetime), what would bother me is if we see more and more freak weather things happening, where not only polar vortices, but the opposite, where much of the country is ridiculously warm, it is the pattern that concerns me, and from what I see, it is getting wild.

More than likely that is because of the gulf stream. I recall reading somewhere that when the little Ice Age hit Europe, one of the reasons was the gulf stream either broke its pattern and moved away from Europe, or potentially even stopped flowing for a while. There are places like that in the US, where the temperature doesn't swing all that much (like SF in winter, that always seems to be 55 *lol*..then again, you have SF in summer that is 60, and Palo Alto is 85, go figure...).

There were places in the lower 48 that when factoring windchill were Mars-cold.

These inversions happen every so often; the last time was a couple of decades ago.

But I was very grateful that it got above zero in the day here.
