Bummer: Snow Expected On First Day Of Spring In Northeast

Obviously, this can only be caused by “climate change”

(UK Daily Mail/AP) Warmer weather has melted much of the snow in Boston, but some remnants of the snowiest winter in the city’s history refuse to leave.

One snow farm in Boston was photographed on Wednesday, now turned to a gross shade of grey with dirt and debris. According to Think Progress, the city will have spent some $50million hauling snow to farms like this at the end of the season. (Yes, the AP is actually citing Think Progress)

But it looks like winter isn’t quite over yet for Bostonians – or much of the East Coast. More snow is expected to hit the city on Friday, ironically timed for the first day of spring.

The snow system is expected to start falling over the northern Appalachians and southern Pennsylvania on Thursday night before reaching New York and southern New England on Friday.

New York City will see its first flakes around 9am on Friday and snow will continue to fall throughout the day – covering the city with two inches in total.

The snow is unlikely to settle, however, thanks to warmer ground temperatures.

Nevertheless, the snow will likely hamper travel and create a headache of a commute on Friday,’ John Homenuk of New York Metro Weather warned. ‘Roads will be slick and travel will be hazardous when snow is falling. Be sure to leave extra time and bring your winter jacket.’

It must be “climate change”, right? Let’s go to the Think Progress article cited

Scientists expect more of these extremely snowy winters for Boston and the Northeastern United States in the years to come, as sea surface temperatures get warmer and the atmosphere is able to hold more moisture. Both those predicted characteristics are driven by human-made greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.

And there you have it: cold and snow caused by too much heat.

More snow may seem counter-intuitive to a global warming scenario. But as climatologist Ilissa Ocko explained, more snow can actually happen with a warmer ocean and atmosphere. A warmer ocean creates more water vapor, and a warmer atmosphere is able to hold more moisture. The atmosphere absorbs the water vapor, and when it can no longer hold the moisture, it forms precipitation. When it’s below freezing, the precipitation is generally snow.

So, should that mean that we have less snow and cold during cool periods? Or, does this mean that ice ages are actually very, very hot? The Cult of Climastrology (CoC) has created a non-falsifiable set of beliefs to protect their “science”. Nothing can seemingly ever disprove their beliefs, and, in this way, they can find a way to blame everything on “climate change”.

Think Progress is not alone. There are many, many news outlets blaming the heavy Boston snow on “climate change”, such as the Kansas City Star, Boston Globe (subscription), and the Washington Post. Sadly, there are more than enough fools who’ll believe this claptrap.
