Pattern April Thread

Please enlighten us on how GW has changed spring.

I think it has to do with the much slower jet-stream causing a more amped pattern due to Arctic amplification which is all from AGW. This is happening in the summer too with these "cool" shots in July and snatching up canes pulling them up into the NE.

Flooding is more common too as systems tend to move slower and there is more water vapor in the atmosphere.

I know this isn't the place for the whole global warming debate but that obviously has played a major role in our weather that kinda is making up the new norm vs what we have always been used to. It will be interesting to see if these delayed spring and prolong "winter" type patterns are now just the new norm or are we just in a typical 5-10 year funk. I am not for all the frost and freezes because of the agriculture issues, but below normal through spring at least for the highs is nice. I prefer to keep 60's and low dews around for as long as possible for the inevitable 5 months of hell on earth starts.

The new 30-yer averages do give credence to the feeling that the start/end of seasons has shifted forward about 1 month, with April trending cooler and October trending warmer.
