Seems every state is breaking records that are over 100 years old.  Global warming? ;)

Well, in the winter, we pay for our frolicking summers...with monsoons that may last up to 2 months at a time, without seeing that yellowish orb in the sky. :)

The slightly amusing thing here is that some people on this board (notably someone who failed to see the distinction between Sweden and Finland not so long ago ;)) seems to fail to realize that global warming might indeed cause temperature shifts in the other direction as well (ie, global warming will make some places warmer, others cooler, some places will become dry others wet).

The climate is a complicated thing...

Wierd... it hasn't been that way at all in Oregon for the last year.  Last summer saw 1 day over 100 with most in the low 80's.  This winter has had few days/nights dip below the 40's.

The normal dry summer / wet winter rules do apply.

I agree - this sucks.  It was warmer this morning though: 12 F!!!  (and the windchill was only -12)  

Hate this crap... salt and snow on the roads - a big freakin mess - no one can drive in the snow here... its too damned cold... my car never warms up... women in minivans are death on wheels... Im moving to Arizona... its warm there and there arent any minivans.  (and the women are gorgeous).
