The Global warming alarmists will tell you that weather extremes are
caused by global warming

True....We're having an unusually cold winter and last summer was the
hottest on record. Weird. I hope we never have another summer like the
last
one. This cold weather is a nice change. Not good for citrus farmers
though.

Don't know where you are located but last summer wasn't anywhere near
a record around here but it is turning into a really cold winter.
That said, neither the summer or this winter is anything that I
haven't seen several times in my 63 years. *I have seen many summers
that were worse and many winters that were worse. *Overall, I haven't
seen any significant change in the last 50 years. *Personally, a
little warming wouldn't hurt my feelings any.

Similar problem. Your area isn't the rest of the world.

Central Tx had 52 consecutive days of over 100 degrees last summer. Hottest
summer in recorded history. Also,
we're suffering from one of the worst droughts on record. Pick up a
newspaper some time.

I'm not sure about your central TX, but that certainly isn't the case in
my north TX, though it was a couple years ago.- Hide quoted text -

Strange: Here, far eastern Canada: Next stop Ireland. Greenland or
Iceland! We are having plus 4 degrees Celsius, that's around 32 plus
8 = 40 degrees F, yesterday and today. I didn't even take a jacket out
with me today! It was just damp with occasional rain while driving.
Not a bit of snow left from some time before Christmas! so few birds
coming for seed to the feeders. Only used the snow-blower twice since
last November.
Ski hills couple of hundred miles west of here are closed; not even
cold enough to make snow!
One thing mentioned this morning on the weather news, about our 'funny
weather', is that night time temperatures are not dipping as low, as
they used to! That may be function of the greater amount of industrial
and motor vehicle pollution and ocean warming? We are right alongside
the North Atlantic here.
Talking about damp; the patio deck is now sort of drying off (It's
about 2.00 PM here) in some very weak sunlight. And the wind has
dropped.
Cheers.
