I am looking for the article I recently read from the CPC that discussed the La Nina and how it was supposed to "ramp up" as we get into Jan-March and really start shaping the weather into what we'd expect from a prototypical La Nina. So they admitted that it wasn't a typical La Nina fall/early winter. <br /><br />Looking at the CPC outlooks, they are all projecting above normal and below avg/avg precip until they get to the 3 month outlook...then it trends colder and wetter. I know these are just outlooks and can change, but it also points to the La Nina potentially "kicking into gear" later this winter.

Well...He lives right here in the Twin Cities metro. Well, to copy and paste from Paul Douglas's blog today: "Climatologist Mark Seeley has been tracking climate and weather trends and admits it's not your grandfather's December anymore. He says 70% of all Decembers since 2000 have been warmer than average, and the warmest Decembers since 1895 have been observed since 2001." So no, I don't take your data as obnoxious, but Seeley's data shows that winter is definitely like the 'good old days.' Today I think we will break a record high for this date because it's 'only' 45 in the MSP area. Time will tell. Thanks for the stats from 2015. Looks like my cuz will be biking for many more days around here at the rate we are going. WeatherGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741160280149154934noreply@blogger.com
