Historical Hurricane Seasons and Maybe Another?

Well we have had some very active years and we have had some not so active years. Everyone reading this will remember the 2005 Hurricane Season for the absurd amount of storms(28 total and 15 Hurricanes-top photo). Well you ask, what was the next? And could it have possibly been as active as 2005 had we had Satellites at the time? That year was 1933 (bottom photo).



You see if we had satellites in 1933 there is a good chance more storms would have been named in the Eastern Atlantic just like in 2005. Although, in my opinion naming these storms that will never effect land shouldn't matter in the first place.

But what this is showing is that active and destructive Hurricane Seasons happen. Historically they happen. The United States has actually seen a decrease in Hurricane activity over the last decade with the exception of 2005. If you can't see where I am going with this, it's that the ever changing climate that Global Warming weenies are portraying as the end of the world basically, isn't happening.

BUT, I think we are in store for another above average year this year. Everything that we look at to predict Hurricane Season is looking rather favorable. We'll never be able to predict with certainty but we're getting better! As for now all indications look like the East Coast has an above average chance of a direct hit from a Hurricane. The GFS model is already showing the potential 10 days from now. But that is too far too believe just yet!

Stay tuned for more blogs as the Hurricane Season heats up!!

Upcoming Cold for the East

The whole Global Warming thing is really taking a beating these last 2 years. Take a look at Saturday mornings forecast lows as per the GFS...


Yes that is LOW 20's in West Virginia!! And here is just how much BELOW NORMAL the East will be at day 3...



This snowfall will for the most part be in places above 2 thousand feet. It likely won't be snowing in Boston like this shows but for it to be almost June temps have to be extremely below normal for it to even be thinking about snow.

Since this was my first post in a long time I decided to keep it short. Enjoy!!
