"A study finds that more than half of American communities are basing their long-term preparations for coastal flooding on numbers that underestimate future sea level rise."
A Leader in University Academics
According to new research in Earth’s Future guided by Andra Garner, a Climate Scientist at Rowan University, most communities in the United States misjudge how much the sea level will rise in their location.
A group of climate scientists from Rowan University in New Jersey set out to address that question, running over 35,000 computer simulations to analyze the evolution of storm tracks and better forecast future storm behavior. The results of the experts were particularly alarming for one particular region of the United States.
The first (real) snowstorm of the winter season is still on track for the Twin Cities and much of southern Minnesota. Expect a sharp snowfall gradient with more snow southern suburbs, considerably less will fall on northern suburbs and St. Cloud. Wind shouldn't be a major factor (I don't see much blowing and drifting) and temperatures close to 30F increases the odds of slushy/wet freeways. That said, it will be pretty slow out there on area highways by late afternoon and evening.
