Winter to Turn Colder? NAO
The "North Atlantic Oscillation" or NAO has for years been known to be a major controlling factor in our weather here in the Northeast. Usually, if it 'goes negative', it means that there is a High Pressure ridge developing up over Greenland, which forces colder than normal weather our way. For the first time, in awhile, the NAO is predicted to just barely go negative next week. While that doesn't mean it will remain that way, it is the first sign of a colder winter to come. But will it snow as well? Initially the jet stream looks dry next week after the weekend rainstorm coming up. By the way, you can access this link and so many more in Todds World of Links in the sidebar. So far I have 88 links posted!
yeah, but what will the groundhog say?
