British Columbia Wicked winter expected in Lower Mainland Worst La Niña since 1955link

                      
 

7 Oct 10 - “Temperatures for this time of year are the coldest since 1955, and the pattern could continue as we head into winter,” reports Glenda Luymes in this article in The (B.C.) Province.

"While that doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed the worst winter on record, there’s certainly the potential for a bad one, says Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones.

“La Niña is like the cold cousin of El Niño,” Jones said. “The dice are loaded in favour of colder weather.”

"Six out of the eight past La Niña years saw above-average rainfall between October and December and below average temperatures between January and March.

"We’re headed into a La Niña year the likes of which haven’t been seen since 1955, agrees Washington state climatologist Nick Bond.

Get ready for a wet, wild winter.
We’re headed into a La Niña year the likes of which haven’t been seen since 1955, according to Washington state climatologist Nick Bond.
“It’s shaping up to be a lively one,” Bond said Thursday, before adding a typical forecaster’s warning.
“There’s really no guarantees. If you think of it like a card game with cold weather as the aces, this year there’s a few more aces in the deck.”
La Niñas occur when the ocean near the equator is cooler than usual.
Bond said temperatures for this time of year are the coldest since 1955, and the pattern could continue as we head into winter. Ocean temperatures affect air circulation, and cool air can lead to more rain and snow and colder temperatures.
While that doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed the worst winter on record, there’s certainly the potential for a bad one, says Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones.
“La Niña is like the cold cousin of El Niño,” Jones said. “The dice are loaded in favour of colder weather.”
There are many examples of La Niña years that received less snow than “neutral” years, but six out of the eight past La Niña years saw above-average rainfall between October and December and below average temperatures between January and March.
The Farmers’ Almanac is also predicting a cool year.
According to the 2010-11 forecast, “winter temperatures will be a bit below normal . . . with below-normal precipitation and above-normal snowfall.”
Bruce Fatkin, manager of the Langley Community Farmers’ Market, said local farmers might read the almanac, although it is with “tongue planted firmly in cheek.”
But he conceded that weather is a “huge factor” in farming, with winter weather occasionally affecting early crop growth and wind and snow causing damage to tender plants and branches.
“You learn very early as a farmer, you have to be able to take your lumps,” he said. “The weather is out of our control.”
Barbara Bednarski with Goat’s Pride Dairy in Abbotsford said a cold winter can be hard on livestock. The goats give less milk when it’s chilly because more of their energy goes into keeping warm. It also means higher costs for farmers. Goats are unable to forage for food under heavy snow, meaning feed needs to be brought in, and goats that are giving birth require heat lamps on cold nights, leading to large heating bills.
“It definitely causes challenges,” she said.
Wild weather can also cause transportation chaos — like the Christmas storm that brought traffic to a standstill in 2008, a very weak La Niña year.
TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said the transit system monitors weather forecasts closely and operates a “snow plan” when needed.
“If you think back to 2008, there are times when nothing can move,” he said. “But there’s a pretty good bet we’re going to get some snowfall every winter, and we prepare for that.”
The B.C. River Forecast Centre is also aware of the upcoming La Niña winter.
“There is a likelihood of more flooding than in an El Niño or neutral year,” said a statement sent to The Province. “Expected impacts from October to December include an enhanced chance of above average precipitation.”
The forecast does not affect how the River Centre prepares for flooding “as we always make extensive preparations for flooding.”
An increased snowpack could be good news for summer water supplies, salmon and skiers.
“We are very excited about this,” said Grouse Mountain spokesman William Mbaho. “Obviously it’s great news for skiers and snowboarders who are looking to hit the slopes . . . Any time we hear it’s going to be a cold winter, we’re happy.”
Mbaho said wildlife at the top of Grouse are preparing for the cold, with the bears putting on winter weight.
“They’re entering a stage of food obsession,” he said.
The record for the highest single-day snowfall in Vancouver came in 1996 when 41 cm fell on Dec. 29, smashing a record from 1916.
People still talk about the “Blizzard of 1996,” when hundreds of motorists were stranded in their cars on the Trans-Canada Highway near Chilliwack, and others waited for the snow to melt in the houses of strangers and temporary shelters. The roof of an apartment building in Victoria collapsed, and planes were grounded at Vancouver International Airport.

Britain in grave danger of financial collapse, says Ken Clarke

Justice secretary warns UK is 'not out of the woods yet' – putting him in conflict with David Cameron as spending review approacheslink

Ken Clarke, who today said the UK 'is not out of the woods yet'. Photograph: Matt Cardy/Getty Images Ken Clarke warned today that the UK economy was "in grave danger of financial collapse".
The justice secretary's views put him in direct conflict with David Cameron, who argued as recently as 2 October that Britain was "out of the danger zone". Clarke said today the UK is "not out of the woods yet".
Clarke's comments come just six days before the coalition government's massive spending cuts are announced in the comprehensive spending review. The government argues that the cuts are necessary to restore the economy to health; opponents claim they will push the UK into a double-dip recession.
The issue is politically crucial and appears to have provoked some disagreement between Tories and Liberal Democrats in the government.
Chris Huhne, the Lib Dem energy secretary, has suggested the cuts could be scaled back if the economy worsens, saying he was not "lashed to the mast with a particular set of numbers".
Discussing his planned jail reforms at the Prison Governors' Association annual conference in Buxton, Derbyshire, today, Clarke said: "I want to be clear, so far as all these reforms go, we don't have any money ... Brace yourselves for quite a lot of change.
"These are difficult circumstances. The events of the next 12 months are going to be quite dramatic."
He said the comprehensive spending review was "quite the most dramatic in living memory" and added: "There's no one alive who remembers a crisis of this kind. We're in grave danger of financial collapse. We're not out of the woods yet. Whatever I manage to get, it won't be what you like."
Speaking to the Observer before the Tory conference earlier this month, Clarke said "I do not rule out the risk of a double-dip recession caused by some fresh wave of global fear and crisis".
Optimism became one of the battlegrounds of the party conference season, with new Labour leader Ed Miliband claiming it as his key value and George Osborne ending his conference speech saying "Over the horizon is a Britain that pays its way in the world, a Britain that is a beacon for liberty and justice ... "
But Clarke told the Observer: "I'm at the more pessimistic end. I'm not sunnily optimistic about where the western economy is going."
