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

Enjoying a typical summer in WA state, avg. 70-80's, sunny, 70% humidity. :)

I was gonna say obviously not in texas,lol

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. :)
-
That's why there is AH:D
-
Pretty nippy here in Florida too... had to cover up a Mango I just planted... (they're damaged at 32 F)
-
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).

(snicker)

no toejam? climate is complicated? good thing we got all them there scientists to explain it to us.... Guess all of em were right in the '70's that said we would have another full blown ice age by about this time... probly next month huh?
in California if the weatherman get's todays weather right we know he cheated and looked out the window (or had an assistant do it).

I grew up in revere, ma. I was in the 7th grade at the time. I had stayed up late to watch "Midway" (it was for a report I had to do on history). It was a little after midnight when I looked out the window and noticed the snow looked wet. I notified my mom. We looked out the front door and saw water pouring around the corner. Little did we know the ocean had over ridden the beach retaining wall(it actually broke). Within minutes our rooms downstairs had a foot of water in them.
Good thing we had stayed up late, we would have been fried in our electric blankets. We decided to go to my older sister's house on park ave.(high ground in west Revere) We piled into the station wagon and drove out of a foot of water. We made it as far as Bells's circle when my mom went to hit the brakes, but the brakes were wet, we ended up in a snowbank...stuck.
There was a gas station at the circle, we called for help and the police sent a squad car down. They got us to our sister's house.We were lucky, we got out. Everyone else in the neb'hood were rescued by amph ducks of the Metro police(the same ones that are now owned by duck tours of boston) the next day. There was eight feet of water by then. Some houses along the shoreline were swallowed by the ocean.

That latter paragraph has some interesting facts attached to it. Back in 1995, I remember reading that Nationally, weathermen were able to predict the weather with 51% accuracy! for more the 24 hours in advance! Might as well flip a coin! Or, stick your head outside. :)

"No driving was allowed for six days, so people skied, snowshoed, tugged kids in sleds, and hitched rides on plows to get where they needed to go. Low on provisions, some feasted on lobsters flung to shore by the surf while others painstakingly rationed dwindling amounts of milk and bread."

wasn't any warmer on this side of Florida, Wotan.
tho we didn't break a record, 11 is the record for the day.
-
It's been pretty warm here in San Diego. Though it's been very hazy, so it's gonna be ugly for the Superbowl.
-
Unbelievably cold here today...High 59F Low 50F.
It is about as cold as it gets, but we had a winter storm here last night with near hurricane strength winds...blew my bike over (again), which slammed into the neighbour's car. I have some 'splaining to do to the poor guy tonight.:(
I leave in a week for colder temps though...La Belle Provence..Quebec. -18C (whatever that is in F) today.

rip... the weathermen (weatherpersons?) claim that California and the west coast are harder than the rest of the nation to predict. They actually do worse than a guess by a monkey throwing darts.

Yep. And Seattle is only 25% accuracy, you put a city with a convergence zone between two HUGE mountain ranges, add an ocean and a sound...you get 25% accuracy.
-
don't see how it could be more difficult that predicting mountain weather.
I doubt if the weather-guessers here get it right more than 25% of the time..
( of course that means 25% of the 'area' gets it right, as per precip predicitons)
what a joke
--edit--
lol Rip was on the same kinda trac

LOL...try and predict what is going to happen on a 22 mile long island 1,000 miles off the east coast of the US. THAT my friends is a challenge.
The storm that hit us last night was predicted correctly...at 4.30pm. About ten minutes before it started.
Mid Atlantic storms just "blow up" at random...most never hit land and are subsequently not even reported.
