Just as predicted...lol

You predicted:

I believe some places that have never experienced a blizzard before will see one for the first time this winter.

This is hardly a prediction as a more blanket statement can not be made.

Also, "never experienced" would disqualify the prediction as well due to the fact it is on a cyclical pattern of 50 years.

Good times ahead.

It was in the high 50's this morning where I live. Brrrrrr

For example, in 1976 an abrupt change in the temperature of the tropical Pacific Ocean preceded a rise of two-tenths of a degree in global air temperatures.

"This phenomenon looks like El Nino, but with a much longer time scale - El Nino occurs over a period of from nine to 12 months, but this fluctuation lasts for about 25 years," he continued. "In 1976, the ocean temperature change in question occurred very quickly, moving from cooler than normal to warmer than normal in about a year."

Bratcher and Giese report that now conditions in the tropical Pacific are similar to those prior to the 1976 climate shift, except with the opposite sign. If conditions develop in a similar way, then the tropical Pacific could cool back to pre-1976 conditions.
