In eastern U.S. we had a much warmer winter, but now it has reverted
to some what colder than average temperatures.

In south western austalia, in areas of virgin bush, satellite imaging has
show large areas (IIRC up to 10%) of old growth trees dying due to extended
drought periods. Definitely concerning.


I don't know what part of the eastern US that Dan is talking about,
but March was much warmer than normal for the Northeast, and April, so
far, is also above normal. Precipitation is below normal:

Charleston W.Va., Washington D.C., and Boston.

"Precipitation is below normal" is quite the understatement, Ed. It's
dry as a bone here in Northeast Bergen County, and there are wildfires
in Burlington. At this rate, with the lack of April showers, I fear
for the May flowers. This time of year, the resevoirs should be
overflowing.

Seriously, I know this one hot year does not constitute "climate
change," but still, it's kind of creepy.
