Hi all,
Not for earthquakes. I've been thinking for months, and telling people, that Winter at the Island, in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, will be colder than last winter, although likely will not be cold for as long. For Winter 2013-2014, the coldest temperature I saw for Newport airport was -1F (my Arctic Sea Smoke Post), and there was no sea ice in the open bay. Back in the late 70s the outgoing tide against the Jamestown Bridge would slice ice up into giant rectangles. I never saw solid ice here in the lower (south) bay, but someone told me people were walking out on it in 1997.
So, I predict, based on almost no science, that the Bay will partly freeze over this coming winter. Could be the last time given climate change!
