Weather Weirdness
January 15th and still no snow. This is sad news for a Florida boy who still finds excitement in the first snowfall each winter. Clive Thompson was asked to write about the future of NYC weather for New York Magazine. The short version:
The Five-Year Forecast
Unseasonably warm, with freakish snowfalls and chance of cyclone. This winter will be weird, and the weather will keep getting weirder.
The long version is much longer. Thompson explains how El Nino, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and of course global warming will affect the weather here– not for just the next 5 years, but for the next 100 or so.
