37 hours under 32 degrees in Alabama

The high temp for the better part of two days was 30 degrees. Until today when it went up to 45 but the humidity started coming back and it felt colder than the other day.

Yikes, that chilly! Did you buy your first sweater yet? ;)

A balmy 53 degrees here today. :cool: 18 more inches of snow in the mountains predicted for this week-end (it warms up down here at the 1000 ft. level right before another big storm blows in...

24/7 Global Warming coverage 2 months ago.

Not a peep in the past couple of weeks.

Odd.

Hard to sell ice cream in winter?

Not directed to the posters in here, simply an observation.  Cold here today in Cali also :)

Just finished roughing a house today.

Last two days were just below and just above zero.

I haven't seen above 32F in close to two months.  However, this weekend supposedly going to be 40F.  I can recall back in 2002, all the snow was melted at the beginning of February.  That was the same year as 85F on April 14 and 15th and 2-3 days later we had sleet at 32-35F.

I hate Wisconsin some days (or months) :lol

The crazy thing here is there was almost no humidity which is weird for us. In the past if it was near freezing we were in the high humidity percentages and such. This weekend we are supposed to be in the 50's with rain and lows at night sub freezing so it will begin to feel like winter down here. The other morning it was 9° on my carport with the sun shining on the thermometer and the high was 29 with a 15mph northwest wind all day gusting to 35mph+. Funny thing though is it did not feel that bad...I have been to MN and WI when it was a high of 8° for the day and it wasn't bad at all.

As for the sweater yep I wore a couple this week with my gore tex hunting jacket to keep the wind from taking me away.

According to these articles, we're in for some long-term cooling.

I'm not real busy at the moment.

I am willing to study this latest theory for.... $10 mill-yun dollars!

Good read, I've been following the NASA posts about the sun observations.  Looks like we better keeep cranking the C02 up there, or we're gonna fa-reeze.

Certainly not a cheerful read.  Time to get into SurvivorMan mode

Snow is piled up waist high along the end of my driveway, as was so long before Christmas.

Global warming my ass.
