Warming climate could mean bigger blizzards, less snow
OK, go ahead and get the "Where's my global warming?" jokes out of your system. With the U.S. Midwest trudging through its second blizzard in a week, we understand.
But while it may seem contradictory at first, scientists say bigger blizzards fit the pattern they expect to see from a changing climate.
The immediate meteorological cause of the back-to-back snowstorms is a colder-than-normal mass of air that's been hovering over the central United States, combined with an amped-up jet stream that's been dipping south from Canada. That makes conditions ripe for major snowstorms after a warmer-than-normal January for most of the Lower 48.

Thanks for the something totally new you have uncovered in your text. One thing I'd really like to comment on is that FSBO associations are built over time. By introducing yourself to the owners the first saturday their FSBO is definitely announced, prior to masses get started calling on Thursday, you make a good association. By sending them methods, educational supplies, free accounts, and forms, you become an ally. Through a personal fascination with them as well as their situation, you produce a solid connection that, most of the time, pays off when the owners decide to go with an adviser they know and also trust – preferably you actually.
