There will be a stronger LaNina that occurs next year, per the prediction. <br /><br />If this is a moderate LaNina currently, which I doubt because unlike last year's respite in LaNina, there is not an abundance of severe weather along the East Coat of the US to sap energy from the polar jet that normally affects our weather during LaNina episodes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-10826460372169227912011-12-18T16:00:47.908-08:002011-12-18T16:00:47.908-08:00yep alaska is just getting hammered. anchorage ha...yep alaska is just getting hammered. anchorage has had storm after storm with gusts over 100mph recorded nearby multiple times in the last few weeks. the mountains nearby anchorage have gotten copious amounts of snow. very jealous they're getting all the action and not us.blarsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09769847688562693674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-22681385646905574652011-12-18T08:55:51.817-08:002011-12-18T08:55:51.817-08:00Cliff: That damn ridge!

Rumor on the street tells of a weary pack of vigilante welders gathering at Copalis Beach.<br /><br />Some type of sacrifice ritual, the taking down or giving back in attempt to appease mother earth.
