Hey, it's an ill wind . . . .

Forecasters Say the East Coast Is Going to Have Another Warm Winter

A big chunk of the United States is likely in for another weirdly warm winter. 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) just released its winter-weather outlook, and right now they’re calling for warmer-than-normal temperatures along the East Coast and the southern two-thirds of the country. 

The northwest corner of the U.S. could see some colder-than-average temperatures, but on the whole, the U.S. might be breaking a few heat records again.

Then comes the snark.

This is maybe good news if you prefer windbreakers in January — maybe a little less so if you’re concerned about the fate of the planet.

Oh, go fry your ass.

Lower gas bills, less risk to my heart health from shoveling snow, safer driving and walking conditions, fewer nights worrying about frozen pipes maybe bursting, and less money wasted paying others to dig out the driveway - what's not to like?

And, hey, the planet will outlive us all.

Interesting that, after the mild winter of 2016-2017, we have just had a mild summer rather than one hotter than normal.

Nice.
