solopaddler Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Being a weather guy these things are cyclical. I can show you similar snowfall amounts and mild temps from eons ago. Don't think El Nino is a factor this year. More of an El Nada this year. Neutral on that front. I believe Mr. Rice is correct in that we're being heavily influenced by the jet stream. My personal opinion is we'll pay for this winter next year. Warmer surface temps in the great lakes will spawn some vicious lake effect snow. Enjoy it while it lasts LOL! People that live in traditional snowbelt areas that don't own a snowblower yet, consider grabbing one now, it's a buyers market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Whatever's causing this weather, I like it. I was out in the driveway this afternoon and was actually standing in mud, and that's lots better than snow & ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I can recall at least a small handful of winters like these, and I'm probably less than half the age of many posters on here.

Sinker Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 You guys who think this weather is great, are going to eat those words at some point. Its supposed to be winter, not spring. The sap is running in our sugar bush every day. I gotta get my ass in gear and get the gear out before I miss the best part of the run!! Its crazy! Geese are migrating, and some are sitting on nests....whats going to happen when the temps turn cold?? Its gotta have a negative effect on wildlife somehow. I don't like it, and I hope this nice weather goes away and doesn't come back till mid april!!! I pray every night for -20 temps and 3 ft of snow!!!! S.

S. i read an article the other day about the low yeild of syrup that is expected because of this weather...syrup is going to skyrocket in price....Alberta is already preparing for losses for the farmers due to the lack of snow out there...i wonder if the vegetarians are going to be forced to eat meat with no veggies to be had...of course im joking ....

bigugli Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Warm winters like this happen. In the early 80's we had a few wimp winters. No snow til February, very little safe ice, 1/2 the HCSA trails were closed. A Minden dogsled derby, or 2, that trucked snow in from Quebec. 65F on XMas 83 in the Sault,..... I also remember freak snowstorms in May. Most recent was 2 years back in Orillia. Extremes happen, what is different is the severity and extended time frames.

Nipfisher Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just 3 hours North of here it all seems "normal". Click this link for a look at the snowmobile trails near Kenogami on Hwy. 11. Kenogami Almanac They have alot of snow and had had cold temps. Their trails are in perfect condition. Around New Liskeard the "normalness" disappears.
