when is it going to snow???

Question

i live in nyc, and its not snowing yet. and i wanna know when it's going to snow

Answer 1

I answered a question like this a couple of times so I'll give you the same answer:

This is the effect of global warming which is caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as gas and coal and the clearing of trees. Clearing trees increases carbon dioxide levels and scientists believe carbon dioxide levels will double before 2050 to 750 parts per million.

And no, strictly it shouldn't happen but there are too many pollutants in this world. Some people however believe this is a natural process for us to get crazy weather which will eventually turn back to normal.

In fact, January 2006 was the hottest January on record in Toronto. I however believe this is nothing to freak about and some people *cough* tree-huggers *cough* are too concerned over this issue. One thing is certain however, don't expect too many white Christmases from now on.

Answer 2

I live in SE Michigan just outside of Detroit. It has been a typical mid-November here without changing through today, Sunday, January 7th, 2007. We even had 2 or 3 days that seemed like late April. Not as balmy as elsewhere on the Atlantic seaboard, but pretty unusual for the often brutal January.

My climate model, further details in Nunitak's Weather Blog, says there will be progressively increasing precipitation in the New England area for the near term years as Global Warming proceeds. Initially this is more likely to be rain, I think, but later (how much later ???) winters could bring extremely heavy snows, beginning further north, Eastern Quebec, etc.

We may have some cold yet. If accompanied by a moisture laden overlayer, it could mean FREEZING RAIN. This is a dreaded problem in Montreal, now more possible, including my own area.

Enjoy the good weather, things can get serious there eventually. The New England floods of last year could become a pattern in the next few years. There were vast forests in your area before we cut them all down. There could be dangerous erosion in relatively denuded areas.

There could be tornadoes in the New England area, more so than usual.

Expect more precipitation, progressively, until we get a handle on the techniques of New Energy (not fossil fuels).

Colorado had extremely heavy snow that collapsed roofs. More precipitation means this is possible for NYC area, Nova Scotia, etc. when it is cold enough. A wetter, heavier snow than out west. If you are not sharp and attentive to getting it off, especially flat roofs, it will bring everything down.

If we are all very lucky there will be no freezing rain disasters in Eastern North America this year, but the current climate raises the probability of these.

We still have most of January and February to pass through. How much longer will Mr. Winter be on vacation?

Take advantage of this break to assess your house, basement, location, flooding risk, location of hot water heater and other stuff you may have in your basement.

Plant more trees! Indonesia and Mexico and other places need to focus more on how they are handling the tree situation too.

People with weird itdeas about New Energy need to be cultivated for a while instead of laughed at. Students who want to learn science should not be blocked.

Everyone can do their part by attending to one or more of these things.

Answer 3

This isn't exactly an answer. If you want one, I would check a weather channel or website. I live in Colorado and we have quite a bit. Here in Salida there is a little less then 2 feet. Hope you get some snow! (just not as much as Denver did before Christmas-that was a disaster)

Answer 4

I live in Georgia and our weather here has been like spring most all winter. We don't get much snow here and our weather has been in the 70's most of the winter. It gets cold for awhile then it turns warm again. It has rained here for about 3 days. I am sick of all this rain.

Answer 5

Here in Detroit, there forecasting 1-2 inches tonight and tomorrow morning. Unfortnately, its too warm presently for percip in the form of snow, and wit the warm grounds, we may not see any accumulations at all.

Answer 6

i like it around Christmas time, yet because it gets in the direction of April it gets fairly previous!!!! we've become pounded with snow up right here suited now! you could make a million snow angels!!!

Answer 7

Watch Joe Cioffi on CW11 News for your answer.

Answer 8

I wouldn't ask this too loudly. You don't want to end up like Colorado. Be glad that it's warm.

Answer 9

Red69 is right, you definitely don't want to end up like us in Colorado.

Answer 10

One word, GLOBAL WARMING!
