Bye Bye Summer?
Prince George, B.C. – If you feel like it’s been cooler than usual the past month or so in Prince George you’d be right.
That according to Environment Canada meteorologist Michel Gelinas.
“Yes, temperatures have been running below average the last 30 days,” he says. “Prince George is running .92 Celsius below average (14 degree daily average with highs of 22 and lows of 8). In fact about two thirds or three quarters of the time below average.”
Gelinas blames the cooler than average temperatures on an upper trough coming in from the Gulf of Alaska.
So the big question is, can Prince George expect at least one last burst of summer before fall arrives?
“Not as warm as it was earlier this summer, at least not in the next five days. No more than a slight chance of showers, pretty dry but not above average. A little below.”

Yet last month they told us summer wasn’t over, would return to ‘above normal highs’ through august. 250 news linked to their story on it.
The geese have been going over night and day, south that is. The robins are all bunched up, yellow jackets getting aggressive, in past that was all indicative of an early fall.
I’ll wait and see.
The global warming pundits have been a little quieter lately!
Grizzly2 has it right. I am predicting a long cold winter. With extended periods of minus 40 say two to three weeks at a time.
Mild winter, large el Nino, and the warm blob is still in place north eastern pacilic all combined with with the high that has generally been holding over the gulf of Alaska. Next year some of the blob may have cooled causing a cooler winter than the upcoming. Winter of 17/18 warm blob gone, el Nina winter will be cold.
Prediction from Joe Bastardi who is in the private forecasting business for industry. He is quite successful because his predictions are generally quite accurate.
Time will tell.
Crows are flocking, wasps acting aggressive, bountiful wild berry crop, early frost, it may not be a severe winter coming, but it may be a long one.

I predict the sun will rise in the east & set in the west, daylight time will continue to shorten…& Harper will win with a minority government… ;)
