Very fitting quote, Walden

"All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease."

The integrety of the ozone layer has been compromised.
The magnetic poles are currently reversing and have undergone tremendous change in the southern hemisphere.

Mamma Gaia is pissed!

It's 7am on the New England coast. It's 58 degrees. The wind is howling in from the southeast and we expect to be in the 20's tonight. We get this sort of weather swing a lot.

Folks often talk about global warming. While warming is probably at the root of all this, the effects that we all see are more accurately called global climate change. As the planet warms, weather patterns shift. Jet streams move around and send storms and systems to new places. Put another way, we're having a very abrupt, huge planetary weather swap. The wierd weather you have today actually belongs to your neighbors 500 or 1000 miles away. Your weather has gone off to someone else who probably doesn't like it as much as you did. Oh well.

Today it is cold and rainy again, so I'm less paranoid.

But I'm still schizophrenic, dammit.

I can handle that part. I just wish that my neighbor's who are sending me their weather would make up their minds WHICH neighbor is doing the sending! We are also cold (down to the 30s after being in the 70s yesterday ) and have had a mix rather than just rain.
By the way, in an attempt to control things, I would like my neighbors from some South Pacific island to send me their weather next. So if there's anyone from Hawaii here, please send it off as soon as possible. I'll pay shipping

This is so weird! Here (northern Illinois) there was a bad thunderstorm on Wed. It was 50 degrees out! Today (Friday) when I got home from school, the thermometer said it was 6. There was a segment about the weird weather on the news this morning. It was the kinda thing where they talk a lot and sound really technical but don't end up really saying anthing.

Ice storm in the Portland OR metro area today.

Shoulda seen the cars spinning out on the bridges...they finally closed a couple of the bridges.

Sixty degrees F day before yesterday, foot and a half of snow in the last 24 hours, bare ground 15 miles away. Perfectly normal.

Best wishes,
Jerry

My Spring flowers are coming up, only to be wiped out when we go back down to the 20s tomorrow. We also have had too much rain, which has caused numerous mudslides, and 2 floods in as many weeks. ........Is anything weird going on with anyone else's weather?

Cincinnati, it's strange here also. First we had the big snowstorm around Christmas, then it all melts in about a week. Then gets cold, then it get's near 70, now it's cold again 19 Deg.F. What next? (Maybe I shouldn't ask).

I'm thinking that perhaps you shouldn't.....

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! :roll:

Approximately 73 degrees last week, 29 degrees today.

Of course, it could be worse. I could live in that town in Minnesota that I heard about on the car radio this morning... -54 degrees, and that was without a windchill factor!

Makes me grateful for the 2 degrees F we had at 7:30 yesterday morning. 70's last week and now we have snow predicted for 5 days out of the next 7.

Doesn't mention people, now does it?

Here in Kobe Japan, it's about 18 C recently (not wacky enough? ). I love it when it's really freezing; coldness piercing through my skin. But at 18c you feel kinda in-between chilly and cool, which I don't really like.
