Late 1989 Started All The Wacky Weather
I can almost pinpoint the starting dateline when our weather around here began a change for the weird.
It was Mid November 1989, a crazy frontal system moved thru and caused incredible wind damage including tornadoes in the Eastern half of the Country. Then we went into a very cold pattern which included a Thanksgiving snowstorm.
We had very cold air last into the end of December, then winter ended abruptly cold wise. That Jan/Feb was eventless and very warm at times, much like some mid 2000's winters.
Since this event or time period our weather around here has been absolutely abnormal relative to what we were used too prior to the end of 1989.
Basically since the 1990 decade began we have witnessed some very crazy, topsy turvy, unconventional weather events. It seems like we are culminating with the most recent events of vicious, angry systems that have been more destructive than I can ever remember. Severe weather in winter never happened on a scale in which we witnessed recently.
Of course bad weather happened back in the day prior to November 1989, but it was expected during the time of the season it occurred.
Anyone have any thoughts or agree, or disagree feel free to comment.
But since 1990 we have had our share of mild snowless seasons many times over.
Yeah at least it looks cold enough with northern stream snow globe events. Gray, overcast lite snow all day is fine by me.
The Late Eddie Rabbit had a hit song back in the 80's
Titled .. "I Love A Rainy Night" it seems like a song for your mood.

I heard today a new study confirms cats are , 'Surprise' rodent and bird killers, maybe we can get someone to let a cat loose into Punx's abode and scare him back into his hideout. LOL
Yes that was true for me as well, until this passed November 9th,
I had the earliest most snow I ever witnessed living here with 6-8" yard wide.
The wettest snow with trees cracking all night long in the neighborhood, which then knocked out my power.
That beats the T Giving storm by weeks... LOL
Long Beach Island I had 8"+ rear wheel drive, got stuck it was rather deep. It lasted on the ground for a while.
I was driving a cab a few days later at night, I warned the dispatcher to tell the other drivers too watch out for Black Ice. He responded by saying "What the H is Black Ice", I was 20 years younger than the guy, he had no idea what I was talking about.
Yes a few small snow events,1989/90 sticks in my mind like it was yesterday,
"woah scary, house rattling gust, just roared thru here!
That December was windy brutal cold, I'm glad you can relate to what I was describing, Thanks..
I remember '89 well. Snowed 9" here (Richmond) around the 13th of Dec and stayed on the ground for the rest of the month. Parents and brother came up from Florida for Christmas and froze their butts off! Then I remember playing basketball at the park in January and February in shorts and t-shirts. That was the winter I first realized one half of winter is usually colder and one half warmer for most winters.
