Possibly but it seems like it could just as easily be moving south from where I was, to a place where the weather is worse.
I moved here in 2014, in 2015 we got hammered my first winter. We ended up getting 90 inches of snow (in three storms) and the snow would not melt. It was so serious my walls were cracking under the weight.
Whenever we get a blizzard it is always my neck of the woods that gets the jackpot.
Whenever we have an "ice storm" (I am on the line from snow to rain) so we often get ice.. it is always bad enough to cause power outages.
Thought I don't remember the first years having bad summer storms, these last two have been outrageous. Both had a storm that went like this.. like a slow hurricane that kept pulling in tropical air from the wrong end spinning inward from the coast. This would cause the air to hit the jet stream and get stuck and also, have massive storms.
Where I live for as along as I can remember, storms moved from west to east and typically when they hit the cold air of the ocean, they fell apart. But that doesn't seem to be happening anymore. This is the second year where the pattern got set up of tropical air coming up from the south and then like doing a reverse hurricane where the warm air stops and does like a hurricane circle and is pulled from the east to the west, hitting the jet stream.
I am exhausted of it. Especially when most of your wealth is tied up in your home.
It seems like just a matter of time until we lose power here when there is a very cold night and suffer due to that.
