A look back at the Jet stream position and the effects on our weather(also on my Liveweatherblogs.com page)

Got to love the Sub Tropical Jet

If your a warm weather lover like myself, heres a look back at the first part of winter from Dec1st 2010 to Jan31st 2011.

First the Jet stream, and you can see the Polar jet.

Mean position of the jet stream during the first 2 months of winter.

Next is the mean surface temps, and one can note the COLD over the East South East US.

Really cold stuff for us southerners. But the first 2 weeks of Feb have overall turned out warmer heres the Jet stream as of Feb 1 to Feb 16 and we can see the STJ kick in as La Nina makes her self known.

And along with that comes warmer mean temps as noted below,

Ahhh, we can see warmer mean surface temps and thats what I like to see, but not to worry for my firends up north winter is coming back for you!
