 With Global Warming, we get more rain and ice storms in the winter and more rain in the summers, milder autumns that last into December, and Springtime that starts in March instead of in late April.
This Christmas looks like a rain and ice event for Brattleboro. Does anyone have a prediction for how much rain we will get for Christmas this year? I'm guessing at least an inch of the wet stuff. We still might get a white Christmas, but it'll be a damp and foggy one, unless something changes at the last minute and the storm forecast to head up to Michigan and the Great Lakes turns more to the east coast. There just isn't enough cold air from the Arctic to spread around in winter anymore, since the ice caps are shrinking in size each year. Eventually when the ice caps are gone in the summer, we will have some really seriously depressing and scary weather changes. For now, it's just less reliable winters with less snow cover each year on average.
It looks like the days of 80-90% probability of a snowy white Christmas are ending in Vermont. It's sad to see winter disappear, melting away with each warmer decade of manmade changes.

Are you posting this from Florida? Or have you been ill with the swine flu for the last few weeks? Maybe you're doing this as a joke. In case you don't have TV Buddy, N.Y. to Washington has just been hit with what they're calling the Blizzard of '09. Seems right on schedule to me. In fact some may say a little early. If you haven't been outside this past week we've had weather like we normally get in January.
"It looks like the days of 80-90% probability of a snowy white Christmas are ending in Vermont." Really? I've still got about 6" of snow at my house. It was 0 degrees on thursday.
Yeah, the forecast is for 49 degrees on the 26th but nowhere near the record of 60 in 1982. and just 2 yrs prior to that it was -20 quite a jump in 2 yrs. I think you'll find we're at the beginning of a cooling trend. With some small up bumps here and there. Just like I'm told that "Yeah the planets warming with some small drops in temps here and there." "But it's still warming".
