Re: Warm Weather
Totally -
Northern California (San Francisco Bay Area) has had record breaking cold. We have had pipes burst in our neighborhood. If it were raining, it would be snowing here.
But I have seen it snow three times in the the 40 years I've lived here (about 30 and then 20 years ago, and I forget the other time). So, is it really that strange this year? Isn't that what they say every year?
I thought the heavy El Nino years were bad. We had flooding (also very rare).
I remember one year (1985 or 6?)there was a very late spring up in Canada. The Grizzlies were waking up late, and they were very very hungry! One attacked the back of a restaurant while we were eating there. (poor bus boy was throwing away trash) Such mass pandemonia you've never seen! Poor bear! Glacier National Park...
So, all in all, I know that there is much talk about Global Warming, and I truly hope that it doesn't exist, but the facts don't look good. But I also know that Mother Nature plays a big hand in being psychotic. Actually I think she's sort of pissed at George W right now....but that's MY opinion.
It's strange now, it was strange last summer, it was strange 10 winters ago, it was strange 40 summers ago...But we will always say so.
