Polar Vortex 1977 Style
January 27, 2015
By Paul Homewood
New Yorkers seem to be underwhelmed by their latest “Snowmageddon”!
No doubt, Jennifer Francis will be wheeled out to explain that it is all caused by global warming, and John Holdren will tell us about melting Arctic ice and polar vortices.
It might be helpful then to revisit this paper from 1977, on the infamous cold winter of 1976/7.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
So the models used to predict the weather a day out arent so reliable. Who would have known ?
billie nye the scienceless guy ‘wanted to put it out there’ that this storm was a product of ‘man-made’ climate change. I am rather hoping someone asks him what he thinks now… is he on twitter? I’d ask him myself but we’re at my wife’s mother’s home for a family emergency and I have No clue what my password to twitter is…..
I think we should call this sNOmageddon.
In the abstract it indicates that in a hundred years almost,the winter weather is much the same.But interesting to note that five years later in 1922.there was panic on the US eastern seaboard because the Arctic was rapidly disappearing.Maybe they were scared that perhaps the Vikings would return and begin to colonise Greeenland again as they did in the Medieval Warm Peroid.
