More Global Warming On The Way

Watts Up With That is reporting:

Another massive cold wave headed for Eastern US next week to put temperature 20 degrees below normal. Senior WeatherBell Meteorologist Joe Bastardi commented: "I am 58 years old; I have never seen anything close to this for late March."

Bastardi continues: "The pattern next week has as much extreme potential for the time of the year as I can find. Coldest opening to calender spring in 50 yrs at least.

Weather forecast models which have had good track records this year in identifying polar vortex outbreaks in advance, are now forecasting a massive cold blast for the beginning of spring.
