Global Warming???

Many of you think global warming is the cause for our winter being so warm. You would be half right.

The ozone has its warm spots and cool spots. Believe it or not, the ozone layer above us is really cold. The colder the ozone layer the warmer our area becomes. Here is a warm spot example. Bangladesh has recorded an all time low of 48º. This doesn't sound that cold, but this area is located in the topics. India which is right next to Bangladesh has also recorded record low temps.

Is this normal? Partially. People are saying we haven't had too much snow this year and they are right. It is not unusual to see this small amount of snow at this time in the season (3.9"). It is also not unusual to see temps up in the 40s and 50s (We will see the 50s again later this week)

When will winter set in? The warming trend for the ozone layer in our area is set to start mid-late month. During this time, we will see temps in the single digits and more snow. Don't worry, we will see our fair share of moderate snow falls and and bone chilling cold this season. After all, we are only a few days into winter.
