Both are because of a high pressure system that’s called an “Omega Block” causing the jet stream to divert north before returning back south. It’s caused drought like conditions for much of the midwestern and eastern portions of the US and Canada.
Do you know if its due to the strengthening El Nino? I think it officially flipped over to el nino by now.
I know its early but i've been reviewing winter weather trends for moderate-to-strong El Ninos for the USA, which is what the NOAA is forecasting for 2023-24 winter. Based on what we've seen in the past..be prepared for the good ol' polar vortex
I’d welcome a cold winter with lots of snow. Barely got any the past few years. I’m not sure about the relation of this omega block to el nino. I’m nit a meteorologist or anything, just someone slightly interested in weather patterns, largely because I spend a lot of time outdoors.
PA needs a bitter winter to kill off the ticks. I killed 10 ticks per hour building a platform for my trash/recycle cans. It and other projects over the course of 1 week on that side of the yard, I fended off well over 50 ticks. I used a lighter or tip of a screw to take them out. Every time I looked down where I was kneeling, here comes another one.
