It's been SNOWING for the past 5 hours or more here in the Twin Cities. The normal temp should be around 59 or so; this time of day it should be about 50. This year has been extremely cool. I have a feeling that we're in for a FRIGID winter up here... Maybe I should start up the Global Cooling bandwagon, eh?
it gets ridiculously cold up here for long periods too. two things for me. 1) Al Gore should move up here. then maybe he'd shut up. 2) i stand outside every day shooting aerosol cans into the air, it isn't helping.
I hate winter with passion, not as much as the Jets, but close. Today it was both cold and rainy = miserable.
that's because they took all the freon out.. go poke holes in everyones air conditioner condensor coils and release the beast

In my opinion, 150 years of data is not enough. When was the last ice age? How hot did it get before that? We don't know and probably will never know. Our life span is not long even to make these sorts of extrapolations yet. When we have 10,000 years of data, then maybe we can start making the appropriate models...
wait the base is from 61 to 90, in which 61 to 81 is when we were going through a 30 year cooling cycle? hell, just compare the temps to ice age if you really want to make a point *marty knows im questioning the authors time line and its not his*
Yeah screw you LOL J/K Its 90 here in FLA in FREAKING October. Not that oh its 90 and tolerable, its 90 and humid and stank. The type of heat that drains the life out of you. Its freaking crazy. Its cold? Snowing? Consider yourself lucky (except when driving in that stuff). To each there own but I would kill for a cold spell of as little as 24 hours down here. Something, anything to cool FLA down.
The OP was making light of global warming because it was cold where he is.. I mearly countered with some stuff about how warm it has actually been despite a few days of cold. This is the lounge ya know, and not really the place for heavy weather discussion so I didn't barrage the statement with link after link that no one here would care about anyway.
what is this "snow" you guys speak of? if i pay shipping could yall send me some?we had our first cold front this weekend so the highs were only 80 witch im thankful for becasue we've been roofing and it was very nice compared to the 90-100 degree weather we've been having in november.i usualy get a great tan in the december/january months lol.
Over 4500 new snowfall, low temp, and lowest max temp records set in the USA this last week. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/...x-temp-records-set-in-the-usa-this-last-week/ 20% of USA is covered in snow already. And this was earlier in the week, before PA and upstate NY got theirs. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/14/early-start-to-winter-20-of-usa-is-covered-in-snow-already/ Yeah, I'd say the southeast is the place to be if you want to warm up.
Doh! 39 last night here at the lake in Columbia. Thank god this is weather and NOT climate, as we warm back up again.
