But 2100 will be a very warm year guaranteed

Winter of 2008/2009 Temperature:

Average High: 31.7 Average Low: 14.7 Average Temperature: 23.2 3.2 degrees COLDER than normal
My forecast was for 1.1 degrees colder than normal, so I was off by just 2 degrees. While I wouldn't mind being closer than that, our winters around here can be all over the place, so I feel pretty good about this forecast. You have to remember that the official forecast from the Climate Prediction Center was for a MILD winter for all of the Midwest, including our area. And they were adamant about it...going above normal for the winter months throughout the Fall and even into January. They never once had a below normal forecast for temperatures here, even though it turned out to be a very cold winter. So, all in all I'm very happy with my "colder than normal" temperature forecast.

With snow on Mount Charleston, cold winds blast Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- The National Weather Service said 5 inches of snow were on the ground at the fire station on Mount Charleston and a foot of snow blanketed the Mount Charleston Lodge overnight.

Although there were reports of snow flurries and sleet in the Las Vegas Valley, from the Stratosphere Tower at Sahara Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard South to Summerlin, April 15 is officially snowless, according to the weather service.

Unless snow falls at McCarran International Airport, where the weather service gathers its official climate records, seeing snow doesn't count, a meteorologist said today.

Williston: CO2 heated up winter so much that only 30-40% of the deer died

The impact of the hard winter on the state’s deer population also remains to be fully documented, although the department has some indications that mortality was high in specific areas.

“We actually flew some whitetail units in January,” Rostvet said, while adding the heavy snow after January prompted the department to again take to the air in March in some areas.

“We saw some of those that had 30 percent to 40 percent fewer deer from the time we flew in January to March,” he said of central portions of the state where cover is more sparse.

Members of Tuesday’s audience guessed 40 percent of the deer herd died this winter in some areas north of Williston. Overall, Rostvet said many areas of the state experienced above-average deer loss.
