More than a wee bit of condescension, eh?

Consider this:

In 2010 the US experienced its coldest winter in 25 years,
according to the National Climatic Data Center. At the same time,
it was also Canada's warmest. Ditto for most of Europe, including
this past winter where 600 perished from cold related causes ...
ie, they ****ing froze to death. How "mild" is that?


Hard to believe but the believers have actually concocted a
complicated explanation that the harsh winters are a result of
global warming.

All along I have contended that winter following summer is the
leading cause for colder and and more harsh lower temperature.

I get my prediction data from the world renown calendar.

Just to get you back on track, Leon, one of the predictions of the
global warming crowd is that it will lead to more extremes. Hope
you guys get some rain soon ...


We really do not need rain. We have had about 30 inches so far this
year. I got an inch on Sunday and about 4 inches about 3~4 weeks
ago.

This simmer has been considerably cooler/less warm than last summer
but because of the rain it has been much more muggy. Last summer
was hotter but dryer so it was not so uncomfortable. IMHO it has
really only gotten rather warm in the last 30 days. Ten years ago
and for several years it was normal to be at these temperatures in
mid April.

As far as extremes go ten years ago we had more extreme temperatures
than in the pas 6 or so years. In 1983 I saw 2 full weeks of
freezing temps every day in Houston. That is extremely rare, and in
1989 we saw 7 degrees over night and I have never seen it that cold
here. In the last 5~7 years we have has measurable snow fall at
least 3 times, I had seen snow in Texas 2 times in the previous 50
years.

Sorry, Leon. I forgot how far Houston is from the drought-stricken
areas of Texas more to the west.

Yep. Houston is closer to Florida than it is to El Paso (and El Paso is
closer to the Pacific Ocean than it is to Houston).
