Roger Hill of Weathering Heights and Radio Vermont November 2017 Weather Statistics Barre-Montpelier VT Highest temperature: 62 degrees on the 3rd Coolest daytime high: 14 degrees on the 28th Lowest temperature: 6 degrees on the 28th Warmest minimum 41 degrees on the 2nd Monthly average 32.1 which was 3.2 degrees below normal Heating Degree days 979 Normal 889 Cooling degree days 0 Normal 0 Average daytime sky cover: 6/10ths which is partly to mostly cloudy Heaviest precipitation: 0.39” on the 2nd Accumulated November precipitation 1.98” Normal 3.17” Precipitation Percent of normal: 62% of normal Largest snowfall: 1.8” on the 27th Thunderstorm days: None Strongest winds 45 mph on the 29th from the northwest. November 2017 Weather – Colder, Drier, Relatively Quiet Temperatures that started out very mild reaching 62 degrees on the 3rd of last month eventually oscillated back and forth, but also lowered incrementally. By the end of last month, temperatures dipped to 6 degrees above with a late November high that day of only 14 degrees. It was a drier than usual month. Precipitation was just registering 62 of normal. Likewise - snowfall of 5.5 inches accrued was about 60% of normal which came in frequent snow showers and flurries and very limited amounts mostly at the tail end of frontal system later in the month. November 2017 could be best described as rather blas’e which is typically “the” or one the cloudiest months. However there was a few sunny days occurred on the 8th, 21st, the 30th. A close second to November in the amount of cloud cover is December. Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2)… Late November measurement for Carbon Dioxide CO2 was 406.29 ppm as measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory. Highestever daily average CO2 at Mauna Loa Observatory 412.63 ppm back on April 26th, 2017. Expect this chemistry measurement of the atmosphere to continue to skyrocket in the northern hemisphere winter. Normal or reasonable CO2 for a stable optimum climate is 350.0 parts per million but most of the Holocene era when civilization evolved and the climate was stable between interglacial periods had carbon dioxide measurements at 280 parts per million. Those days are long gone. Big Rises in Sea Level for parts of the U.S. East Coast... Sea level change rates along the East Coast have doubled since 1990, according to James Davis of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. The melting ice on Greenland and Antarctica alone would account for an increase in the rate of sea level rise on the East Coast of 0.04 to 0.15 mm per year, which is equivalent to 7.8 inches of sea level rise along the northern U.S. East Coast and a whopping 2.5 feet along the southern U.S. East Coast. As ice vanishes, the loss of its gravitational pull lowers sea level nearby, even as sea level rises farther away. Researchers used tidal gauge data from the U.S. East Coast to perform this latest study. However, unlike earlier studies, this research project included the loss of ice mass from Greenland and Antarctica among the causes of sea level acceleration. Modeling the 25-year-period since 1990 produces an acceleration of sea level rise in good agreement with the gauge observations when melting from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are included, according to the NASA report “When you leave the ice out, you get a much worse fit,” Davis said.

Bada-bing, Bada-boom! You snooze (or deny) you lose! Slowing of Earth’s Rotation could mean more Earthquakes in 2018... Every so often, the Earth’s rotation slows by a few milliseconds per day. This is inconsequential to the average human, and causes only mild annoyance to the people whose job it is to measure Earth’s rotation with great precision. That may be about to change, if the hypothesis set out by two geologists proves true. In a study published in Geophysical Research Letters earlier this year, Roger Bilham of the University of Colorado and Rebecca Bendick of the University of Montana predict that, because of Earth’s slowing rotation, the world will see a significant spike in large earthquakes in 2018. To make the prediction, Bilham and Bendick studied every earthquake since 1900 that recorded more than 7.0 on the moment magnitude scale. They found that approximately every 32 years, there is an uptick in these large quakes. The only factor that strongly correlates is a slight slowing of the Earth’s rotation in a five-year period before the uptick. “Of course that seems sort of crazy,” Bendick told Science. But think through it a little and it might not seem so outlandish. The Earth’s rotation is known to go through regular decades-long periods in which it slows down and speeds up. Even seasonal changes, like a strong El Niño, can affect the planet’s rotation. But to have the kind of effect that would produce more severe earthquakes, we have to look deeper. Starting from its very center, the planet is made of a solid iron and nickel “inner core,” liquid iron and nickel “outer core,” a thick liquid mantle, and finally a thin solid crust. Earthquakes occur on the crust, but the crust floats on the mantle. Though Bilham and Bendick don’t know for sure, they believe that every so often the Earth’s mantle might stick a little more to the crust. That could change how the liquid outer core flows. And because it’s all metal down there, the change in flow will affect planet’s magnetic field, which would ever so slightly affect the Earth’s rotation and thus change the length of the day by milliseconds. The Earth’s rotation has been slowing down for the past four years. “The inference is clear,” Bilham told the Guardian. “Next year we should see a significant increase in numbers of severe earthquakes.” Instead of an average of about 15-20 large earthquakes, we might see 25 or 30 in 2018. Bilham can’t tell with any certainty where these might take place. Many large earthquakes occur in places where they don’t affect human life, but in the wrong spot they can wreak havoc. In an ill-prepared country like Haiti, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in 2010 killed more than 100,000 people. In Japan, with much better buildings, a magnitude 9.0 quake (which releases about 1,000 times more energy than a 7.0) in 2011 killed some 18,000 people largely from a tsunami created by giant 9.0 earthquake. So, can we predict earthquakes? It’s a question that vexes seismologists, not because it is unreasonable, but because scientists have tried many times and always ended in failure. Even after many advances in seismology, as Richard Luckett of the British Geological Survey puts it, “when an earthquake occurs, it is essentially a random event”. Vermont Weather Trends – December... After a not so cold start to the month we’ll see a big pattern change to colder weather and it should hang out a while with some staying power, probably as we creep closer to the holidays or through about the winter solstice. The Winter solstice this year is on December 21st a Thursday and occurs 11:28 AM EST. Just as we technically get into winter or thereabouts, there could be a large scale weather pattern change toward one that favors milder conditions or an oscillation in temperatures. In recent years, there seems to be persistent pattern for storms that feature overrunning of milder air aloft. These weather systems usually perform the classic changeover type precipitation from snow to sleet to freezing rain to rain, which is dreadful and ends up as a thick coating of ice.

Main St., Barre, VT 05641 Christmas and New Year’s Holiday, but these are very hard to predict more than 10 days out. I suspect with mild intrusions this could be the case late this month. In-between for the second and third weeks of December – could be OK for accumulating natural snow but a slower start, and snow preservation staying below 32 degrees, getting a decent jump start on snow making . Skiers and snow boarders may have to wait for the better conditions to develop after the holidays next month, but many light coatings will add up and a couple moderate to good snowfalls are very possible to tease folks who winter recreate like myself. Personally, I love all 4 seasons in my Green Mountains but I do not care one wit for one season to embed into another. I would love to tell you it will be all snow all the time, but this now a day’s especially with a shifting climate trend towards warmer just have adjust. This adjustment usually means lots and lots of ice! Winter prediction... Indications are for a sputtering start for winter 2017-2018, but one that could or should be more back loaded. January and February into a portion of March should see some colder snaps. Each change coming out of and into these colder snaps should mean snowfall. This December into January will also feature periods of minor snowfall with the abnormally warmer Great Lakes in play. Lake Effect moisture does not hit every location equally, but is amplified on the mountain slopes of especially northern Vermont. For every tenth of an inch of snow on the Barre-Montpelier Road, there could be an inch on the upper terrain and I’m expecting this “elevation amplification” with lake effect snow showers and snow squalls going into January and possibly February. There was certain to be some more “Polar Vortex ruckus” with deep coastal low pressure systems once the pattern is sufficiently cold with high latitude blocking switching up to a negative version of the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation in favor for occasional periods moderate to heavy snowfall especially for interior New England. The worry is that we might be seeing some ice from time to time and wet snowfalls will become more the norm less the powdery colder storms due to overall warmer planet and warmer trajectories of climate change. Bottom line, my prediction – near to slightly below normal back loaded winter, good for Sugaring in the early to mid spring and valley elevations seeing near normal snowfall but more snowfall than normal at the ski resort elevations especially mid to late winter.
