[Cracker]

What is your point? What I posted was correct. If you want to add to it, go right ahead. Why do you have to add the pissing match to it?

The point I was making was, though you had some validity with your post, your explanation for why it was so windy was not the precise answer needed.

She's probably experiencing a ton of wind this year due to the location and strength of the North Atlantic Oscillation, which affects the jet stream. If the jet stream is carrying system after system directly over her residence, she's going to have more wind than she normally would.

The Oscillation works like a dam in a river. The jet stream moves around it, not through it. In the north central U.S., we'd normally have 30+ nights of sub-zero lows, but, because the jet hasn't been allowed to sink south and bring arctic air, we've had a total of 3 this year.

You explained temperature variances, precipitation, cold air and warm air masses colliding, etc., but not the true explanation of why it's been so windy where she lives.

Unequal heating is the cause OF ALL WEATHER ON EARTH. I explained ALL WEATHER. What part of that are you missing? Why is there a jet stream at all? Jesus, I had that class. I don't need the explanation, you just feel the need to post it.

Arctic Oscillation IS CAUSED BY UNEQUAL HEATING. That isn't the cause of the her local winds, btw. The explanation I gave is the correct one.

Your answer applied to regional weather patterns in the different hemispheres. Cracker wins.

A "warm" front just went through, and a cold front is right behind it, hence the wind and living right on Lake Erie doesn't help matters either. We're stuck between 2 fronts. This has been the case the majority of this winter. The last big wind storm was a low pressure system passing directly on top of us. I can see a LP system to the NW, I'm hoping it stays up in Canada where it belongs.

Not according to MS. Sorry, you are wrong. It is Arctic Oscillation (caused by low solar activity, but we won't tell him that part or that it has to do with winter temps, not local winds).


Please learn the difference between weather and climate, MS. They aren't the same.
