So far, this winter has been a doozy. On top of the enormous storm that dumped 14 inches of snow January 25, we’ve had sustained bitterly cold temperatures.
A decade or two ago, this might have been a typical winter. But as the climate changes, the Cape and Islands region had been acclimating to mild winters and little snowfall.
Today we talk about weather and climate: what factors are contributing to the winter weather we’re having locally? What changes are we seeing in other parts of our country and around the world. And how is forecasting rising to the challenge of predicting weather despite the big changes to climate?
