THE WEATHER PATTERN HAS CHANGED JUST IN TIME FOR THE NEW YEAR… NO MORE RECORD BREAKING WARMTH FOR A WHILE
It’s been quite a weather pattern the past several weeks with record breaking warmth and occasional rainy periods. As the headline states, the weather pattern has changed so that we will not be seeing any more record breaking warm temperatures for the next several days. The pattern also appears to be a drier one. I don’t think I ever remember my grass being so green at this time of the year. El Nino most likely has been playing a role in the very warm and wet weather of late. El Nino has also been affecting the weather across the nation bringing major storm systems to the Pacific Northwest and the flooding rains and severe weather to portions of the Mid-West and the South. Temperatures will be returning to more normal levels as we head into the New Year. The average high temperature right now is 49 degrees. A lot of folks are wondering whether we will see any snow this year. There’s no snow in the immediate future so we’ll have to wait and see if the pattern changes enough to bring us the white stuff as we head into later January and February. Speaking of snow, I was up in Sparta, N.J. and they had snow and sleet Tuesday morning. Fog was also a major issue up there. I also wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year. Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
