Where's Winter?

The title of this blog is an excellent question.  So where is winter happening this year?  So far, there hasn't been much winter in North America.  There have been a few storms that have impacted the Western U.S., but other than that, it's been quiet.

Elsewhere around the world, the story is different.  Rome, Italy had snow last week for the first time in 26 years.  England has seen quite a bit of snow which is abnormal.  Northern Asia(Russia, Ukraine, etc) and Alaska have been dealing with unbelievably cold temperatures.  Across these areas, temperatures have bottomed out to temperatures lower than -70 degrees Farenheit!  Alaska also has experienced one of the worst snow storms in recorded history for the state.

So, while there has been above normal temperatures across much of the United States this winter.  Don't forget that there are other places on Earth and they are on the opposite side of the situation.  You may be thinking this is all "Global Warming," but there is more to it than just what happens in the United States. 

Looking locally; there isn't much to expect across New England for this week.  Temperatures will continue to run above normal and we will also see lots of sunshine thanks to a strong area of high pressure that is settling in across the region.

Thanks for reading!  Any questions, please ask.
