Spring Training
I look forward going to spring training in Arizona on March 4th to 12th. I would like to know what is predict for those date.
Whers is the Niño ?, very dry weather south newMexico and fartwe
It would be like the 6 consecutive winter warm and again another dry winter without any chance that snow falls and with bad prediction, according to your predictions. in step tx and Ciudad Juarez, when our aunts told us that before snow fell to the knees.
A case is climate change or does the US control the high pressure system in the west?
Because it is a pattern winter after winter and has this trend since the last 25 years
Snow?
We are predicting a colder-than-normal winter with above-normal precipitation and above-normal snowfall in places that usually have snow, and remember: Winter starts on Dec 21, so anything can happen. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
You blew it big time
Yes our average rainfall where I am is .08 of an inch in October. However so far this month we have gotten6.06 inches of rain and that's counting snow flurries we got on October 7 at 8:20am.
Oops!!!
Otherwise y'all are pretty close to what the weather will be
accuracy to date
…well, to date a month ago. Thanks, Bob. Keep the cards and letters coming!
Ya blew it, big time for Feburary
Y'all need to make some adjustments for the southwest. So far we have gotten 4.56 inches of precipitation and are way over what you called for February. Yes I know, Feb is normally fairly dry but not this year, its been very wet. I use 2 rain gauges, not just one. I use an electronic rain gauge and a old fashion rain gauge, both have been very very close to the same readings, less then .01 differences when they are different. When that happens, I use the lesser amount.
drought in SW Colorado
Some of the reservoirs in SW Colorado are at less than 10% capacity. Stunning to see. The Animas River is at all time low... let it snow! we don't need any stinking wildfires next year. Nice cool summer at 7800 feet though... Monsoon missed us...
After living in Delaware for
After living in Delaware for the past twenty -odd years, I'm convinced Hell is humid. I'm from the desert southwest originally and going back next week. I can't wait.
Third summer in New Mexico
So this was my third summer living in the New Mexican Chihuahuan desert and I have to say it definitely gets hotter than Hades, we were in the triple digits since about late April and many weeks it was well over 110 degrees, being originally from the great lakes area it was a huge change to adopt to from not only the climate but the elevation, during the summer in the great lakes region you swelter from the humidity and in the winter months you freeze from the bitter cold, snow and ice, comparing the two climates I will take the desert any day over the great lakes climate, I love the desert.
Its a dry heat :)
Lived in the southwest part of Arizona most of my life. I have lived up in Maine for 2 years just 20 minutes north of Bangor. Its just opposite from what I experienced in Arizona. During the summer in Arizona, I stayed in AC'ed buildings and cars. During the winter its the ooposite, I stayed inside heated buildings and cars. That's bout it.
