Today we are supose to hit 9 and snowing. i don't think it will hit 9, its 4 at 1;30 pm. it should be in the 30s.
-
Suck it up Buttercup!
Two below right now. Don't think it hit neutral, much less positive today.
I also know there there are some on here who will point out worse yet.
-
Really, it's 35 here in South Texas.
-
48 and wet in New England!

Guess what guys - Moved back here by my own free choice knowing what it was like from experience and knowing where I had been for nearly a decade. No interest in making a move out of the region at this time.
Nice thing is that it is kind of a Darwin affect. This weather thins out the riff raff ;D
-
yep, also cuts down the bikini time :'(
-
That is why you have a bear skin rug, or should I say a bare skin rug, and fireplace!
-
I like when they have fur, not so much when they are bare... ;)

82 and sunny here today. 8)
I would prefer the 50-60's range personally....but hey, got no control over that. ;D
-
-7 Current. Supposed to be -18 tonight. I don't know how cold it was last night but when I tried to fill the horse trough the water froze before getting to the end of the hose. I had to bucket it.
At least the wind isn't blowing. ;D
-
I feel kinda lucky! 60 5:30 AM Thursday morning down to 31 at 5:30 Friday AM!

PS: Oh yes, just a trace of snow.
-
10 degrees with about 2 inches of snow.
-
Wretched weather, here. Only 72 and sunny, now.
Last night, it dropped way down into the low 60s.
Bunny contemplated getting out of bed to shut the window--but decided against it, and just turned the ceiling fan down to low.
Still, by the grace of God and a few cold brews, we shall muddle through.
Florida. What a place to spend winter.

its also nice to have it cold so the little women has to snuggle next too you.

The wind isn't blowing by WY standards or the air really isn't moving? ;)
-
23 and sunny here. It may or may not hit single digits tonight. Snow tomorrow night.

Think of it this way Frank...
It's 268° k... ;D

Made it to +1 today!!!
Of course I missed it.
-
Yesterday, freezing rain, sleet, snow, 30ish degree's. Today, clear and sunny mid 20's. Tonight low teens. Tomorrow, sleet, snow. Won't get above freezing til next Friday. Tough truck driving weather.

That's why I always hooked the hose up to the hot water line when watering the horses in winter! ;D
-7 in Fargo today, minus 16 expected tonight. Wind chills in the -30's and -40's.
Here in balmy KY, it's mid 20's - above - and icy from a rain/sleet/snow last night. Another expected tonight and tomorrow.
-
High 47, low 41, cloudy.
(The weather is here. Wish you were beautiful. Thank you Jimmy Buffett.)

78 and sunny... been fighting a cold for the last couple of days, so sat out in the Sun for a 1/2 hour with my shirt off.... making some Vitamin D

It sounds downright toasty when you put it that way. :)

I just love Global Warming ;D

I just love Global Warming ;D
You didn't know that Global Warming was the reason it's cold?
It snows because it's too hot and freezes because of CO2 greenhouse gas trapped heat. Ask any liberal dipstick and they'll be happy to explain it...
Which is why every company must pay carbon credits to the Chicago Climate Exchange.
It's all fact based and above corruption. ::)
-
I love liberal/commie pinko/progressive fact based sh*t! that means it's true and undisputable!
-
i love how they use computer models... Only as some one that has a degree in math, i call bull shit. the functions need to try to predict stuff like this are so large it boggles the mind. The variables are so many and so deverse. Every thing from gravity( tides), magnitecs, fuild dynamics, solar out put shifts, variable densitys(air water earth), countors of the earth, shading, the tilting and wabling of the earth, distance from the sun... Etc etc. thats just off the top of my head. the only one of those thats even remotly easy to model is the distance from the sun and thats still a conic( not even a constant orbit) and compounded by the wobble and rotation of the earth and the geography. still that would be easy to figure, take probably a life time to get a good equation, but doable.

By the way, where exactly does the carbon tax go?
-
When I was in elementary school, it was pretty much assumed we were going to have another Ice Age in one hundred years or so.
The science was settled.
Then the world was to die of pollution. Then nuclear winter. Then global warming.
I just wish they'd make up their minds on how we're all going to die!
-
It snowed 1/4" over the last 6 hours. If it's only that much because of global warming then I'm all for it.

Soooooooooo, Is it safe to say it's Bull Sh*t given all the variables, all this warm/Cold/warm/cold has been going on for centuries and Al Gore (Who invented the internet & can't be wrong) is so full of the brown squishy stuff. Carbon tax is another way the liberal/commie pinko/progressives can get extra $$$$ & use it to indoctrinate the younger generations that all this "warming" is caused by us humans. Wholly sh*t, I guess I have been wrong all these yrs. I believe this has been happening for yrs. it's a natural occurrence, just like the poles will flip/shift (proof exists) as they have in the past.The f*cking left just saw an opportunity and is expounds upon it, playing chicken little. Just my uneducated guess.
It's funny, they started calling it global warming BUT changed it to climate change - DUH, the climate changes all the time. JMHO.
-

You probably welcome "Global warming" with open arms being stationed in MI.
-
i wouldn't call it bull shit, the methods used are actually pretty good, its the models that are not good. having thousands of computers run the same model with diffrent imputs and variables is actually a pretty good way to figure out a complex system. to relate it to guns, they are trying to predict how fast a bullet will go, by only having powder load and the case size. they have 2 of 10 things they need to accuratly approxamte it.
-
By the way, where exactly does the carbon tax go?
Most of if probably goes to the DNC or a HEAVY contributor to them...minus a fee for shipping and handling of course!
It's supposed to go to buying tracts of rainforest so it can't be cleared...that's the last line of laughable BS I heard.
(as if the the miners in South America give a rat's patoot before they decimate an area)

Actually, it's a lot simpler than that - they simply delete the data that disproves their models.
-
You can sort of tell you are being fed a line of crap when they tell you that the model for Global Warning predicts the weather getting hotter or the weather getting colder or the weather staying just the same.
No matter what the weather does or for how long proves the Global Warming Theory.
Read today that some scientists are predicting a prolonged period of falling average temperatures..(who knows how accurate they are)...
but Al Gore is probably prepared. He will invest in the company that you pay to increase your carbon footprint to fight Global Cooling, do another Snake Oil presentation and be awarded another Peace Prize for it.
-
The only problem with the "Global Warming" bs is that the planet has cooled 1/2 a degree since 1999.
Global Warming, just like everything else Liberals say is "undeniable" , is just a collection of lies, misrepresentations, and media hype, with out any legitimate science behind it at all .

Guess what boys and girls: We have been coming out of an ice age for many centuries. That is what the scientific evidence shows. This turn is part of a cycle, and it started long before we started burning fossil fuels. I often say that I can't prove that we aren't accelerating it, but that doesn't matter, because it is going to happen regardless. I will also point out that as with any change in any thing, natural or man made, and the process moves forward it accelerates naturally.
Now, get over it and move on!

That's the part so many fail to understand. It's been going on and will continue to go on no matter what we do.

Found a link to the "Global Cooling" story I read.
Again, who knows how accurate this is...but if it is valid, it is ironically funny...and if it isn't, it's still funny.
German scientists found that two naturally occurring cycles will combine to lower global temperatures during the 21st century, eventually dropping to levels corresponding with the “little ice age” of 1870.
They also factored into their work a well-established 65-year Atlantic and Pacific Ocean oscillation cycle. Global warming that has occurred since 1870 can be attributed almost entirely to both these factors, the scientists argue

It's 25* and it's supposed to snow 2-3" in the next 2 nights with the windchill dropping to below zero after that. Boo. But I put the plow on my ATV yesterday so I don't have to shovel it all by hand. Yea. It was so cold yesterday that my fingers froze even with winter gloves on. We need more global warming.
-
I hear you can pay a company to increase your Carbon Foot Print to help relieve these cold winters. ;D ;D ;D
-
It got up to 20 today, still breezy and snow flurries every time you turn around.
-
AAAAHH! We had what you folks are getting at the moment (Sucks to be you) BUT we are now in the 40's/50's now. Summer has returned & T- shirt weather. ;D
-
We'll have three different weather patterns in a state that is 140 miles long and about 70 miles wide...
Weather sucks as usual in New England...

Ever wonder why its called Greenland? Because it used to be green not white. ;D

For all of you in the northeast the drizzle we had today is riding a 200 mph jet stream and will be there tomorrow in the form of sleet and snow. Enjoy. It was 52 today and supposed to reach 70 tomorrow after the dry line comes thru and gets rid of all the cllouds. Just in time for the gun show tomorrow.
-
Calling for a Nor"Easter starting tomorrow afternoon, with snowfall between 4 to 14 inches depending on how it tracks... >:( >:( >:(
I have to get up at 4:00a.m. to take my wife and daughter to airport ,They're going to Disney in Florida.
-
15 inches of snow in Jerusalem and for the first time in 100 years snow in Cairo.
-
Love it!
Have a friend who headed to Israel yesterday for Christmas. He was laughing at us over the weather we will endure while he is gone. Can't wait until he returns ;D

Fired up the tractor this evening to move some snow during the heat wave. Now here is something I need to remember every winter and that most people don't talk about: We all think about gelling fuel, but when was the last time you heard complaints about hydraulics? Plugged the tractor in at 6:00am, and it popped right off at 6:30pm. However, had to run it for half an hour before the hydraulics would operate, and it took another half hour of use before it operated smoothly.
How long does it take to warm up ten gallons of hydraulic fluid encased in a ton of cast iron?
Don't know, but if you call me next July I'll tell you if it has happened yet.

You should try to warm up a 2500 ton capacity hydraulic press with a 1600 gallon fluid tank. That baby will moan and groan for half an eight hour shift before it smooths out and quiets down. If the ambient temp dropped and stayed below 60 for a weekend, it was hell on start-up Sunday nights.....and for every 5 degrees below 60, it took twice as long. I finally convinced them to let me design a oil heating system to maintain operating temp when shut down......which is what I was working on when circumstances beyond my control intervened.
-
39 as I type this. Going up to a high of 71 today....77 tomorrow. Sunny & clear.
-
Our weather guessers went from 0-6" yesterday to 10-14" today...
Shovel ready, salt available, weak mind and strong back a necessity!
-
Went to bed last night with 5-6 inches of fluffy white stuff figuring it'd be a nice easy shoveling in the morning...
NOT!
Changed over to rain and froze up to about four inches of ice... Fuggin' New England weather...
Oh well! I needed a workout today anyway, an hour or two and it's done! Helped the elderly folks across the street as well!
-
Pretty nice today, suns out and its 12, supose to be right about freezing.
-
15 degrees and 12 inches of snow.
But we missed the freezing rain that went south of us.

I didn't shovel yet and I may not. I have 4WD and I'm not worried about getting out. I should do the sidewalk though to make it nice for the mailman.
-
I'm not whining here but 30 degrees in Alabama is like 10 or 15 in any place where it actually gets cold..
This stuff sucks.. I'd rather shovel snow than have this miserable, wet, bone chillin, ugly kinda cold down here. You don't even get the "pretty". Just wet, nasty cold..

Left home at 4:30am, and it was 27f. Stayed around there all day, and at 9:30pm I was driving home in 15f. Feels like summer, and I was running around without a jacket and my sleeves rolled up even with the stiff winds.
Sad part is that at these temps everything sifting across the road does not make it across the road. Road kill snow is damn slick!
-
It's 28* and we had another inch of snow. There's a chance of rain or snow every day for the rest of the week. Bah! Humbug! >:(
