by Michael Snyder,End Of The American Dream:

You may have noticed that this has been a really strange winter. In some areas there has been far less snow than usual, while in other areas people are literally being buried in their homes by mountains of snow. In some areas it has been much colder than average, while in other areas record high temperatures are being shattered. I have been writing about how global weather patterns have been going nuts for a long time, and initially there were some skeptics that just weren’t buying it. They thought that I was exaggerating, and they were convinced that conditions would “return to normal” eventually. But noweven the New York Timesis talking about how “weird” the weather has been this winter…

The weather has been a bit weird across the United States this winter. As historic amounts of snow fell in the Carolinas and bitter cold gripped practically everywhere else east of the Rockies, some of the western states have basked in high temperatures more typical of late spring than the dead of winter.

Perhaps no other contrast tells this story better than the fact that, since the start of the year, Florida has recorded more snow than Salt Lake City.

Read the last sentence of that quote from the New York Times again.

Florida is not supposed to get more snow than Salt Lake City.

We have never seen anything like this before, and it isbeing causedby “a weather pattern that settled into place around the middle of January and hasn’t budged for weeks”…

These two extremes are the result of a weather pattern that settled into place around the middle of January and hasn’t budged for weeks. It’s kept the western United States unusually dry, depriving ski resorts and water reservoirs of their much-needed snowpacks. And it’s plunged the eastern two-thirds of the country into bitterly cold temperatures that have lingered for weeks.

This same pattern that brought 80-degree temperatures to Los Angeles this week sent ice, freezing temperatures and power outages to Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana late last month. It has given Phoenix its warmest winter ever in records going back to 1885 and delivered a rare snowfall to Wilmington, N.C., last weekend.
