Weather 2011: The Year of Weirdness

Isn't this year a little strange to you? Think about it...tornadoes in New England, Hurricane Irene delaying school and now snow. I mean Southern New England has snow with places in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.  Scientifically this is global warming taking its toll on New England and other regions. Texas had an experience of 70 plus days of heatwave exposure.  Massachusetts had a few tornadoes and had a few deaths caused in the region of Springfield Ma.  Now the snow has certain parts of New England without power and looking at Rhode Island and Massachusetts, they had the record of the 6.6 inches in the area.  Along New England, there are accidents among the streets where trees are down and much much more.

These are photos of the snow falling on October 29th 2011.  It is typical for New Hampshire to experience snow early. As I recall, the first time I saw snow in New Hampshire was around this time especially when ski resorts start making snow around here. It is amazing to have a short fall and turn to winter within the span of one month. For common sense, always have winter clothes available, have a working generator and above all expect the unexpected.
