ReconRat Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Had me till I got to the part about 20 inches of snow, lol.That's not very much snow.A few years back, a long stretch of freeway in Germany was cut off for about 5 days by extreme snow. 4 to 6 feet.edit: ok, several feet of snow in Romania and Bosnia. Record low temps in Bulgaria. Snow farther South than normal, in England, Southern Switzerland, Turkey, and even the island of Corsica. Otherwise, the snow isn't bad elsewhere, but the temperatures are pretty low everywhere.The jet stream pushed a reversal pattern, and it's coming from Siberia instead of the warm Atlantic wind direction.

Tpoppa Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I wonder what could cause such a drastic change. I recall hearing that the Japanese earthquake last year rotated the earth by several inches...could something like that affect weather patterns ?

ReconRat Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 The changes in the jet stream as well as the changes in traditional static cold and hot air masses are the root cause. That includes the last few years also. And it hasn't settled into new patterns yet, so random weather events will be the standard for a while.

ohiomike Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Supposedly the earth is entering a new cycle. The previous cycle was a good one with great growing weather. The new cycle is supposed to be bringing ins much more instability, far less precip and extremely greater extremes in temps and storm action.In other words shit is going to be getting worser and worser for many a year.

The new cycle is supposed to be bringing ins much more instability, far less precip and extremely greater extremes in temps and storm action.In other words shit is going to be getting worser and worser for many a year.But only for a while. It should settle down into some new stable patterns. The last global warming was the Middle Ages. (700 to 1200 years ago.) Which predominantly was mild weather all year round. Gently rain, hardly any storms. It allowed three growing seasons, since Winter was barely freezing. Life was good.This applies to Europe, since nobody cared about any other part of the world at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
