toadwbg Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I enjoyed my quiet hike thru 1ft of snow today in the woods of Eastern Iowa. The Fresh snowfall falling down felt like sweet kisses on my head. Kicked up several rabbits that would have been easily "in the bag" had I been with my shotgun. I love late winters :wub: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Actually this winter has been completely in keeping with current knowledge and predictions of global climate change. "Global warming" is a complete misnomer. Lots of places will see colder weather (the UK without the Gulf Stream would be sub-arctic). These huge snowfall events such as happened this winter are simply winter versions of the drenching downpours that lots of folks saw last summer. It's a fact that in many areas of the world, North America included, precipitation events are becoming less frequent but far more severe. Add a little winter cold air and you get blizzards instead of floods. Just because you choose not to believe it doesn't make it any less true... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toadwbg Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I seem to recall something called the ice age 50,000 or so years ago. Good thing the Internet wasn't around to warn us of our impending doom when the glaciers melted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've just had the hottest summer weather recorded on Australia. They had to add a new temperature colour to the map. The indications are this will affect the northern hemisphere in the same way. You'll be Hot, Hot, Hot this summer. G Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird3a Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Spring in the southern Appalachian highlands... ...and it's still snowing. Well here on Vancouver Island, I am the last guy on the block to cut his lawn, been too bloody wet lately. Typical wet cloudy winter morphed into a typically wet cloudy spring with the odd sunny day. Snow shovel sat all alone against the fence the whole winter. Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was 70 yesterday You know you live in St Louis if you have ever worn shorts and a parka, at the same time. Born raised and worked my whole career in "the 'Lou". There's a reason I moved to the Mojave desert Weather, specifically the lack of humidity. G Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niart17 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Ok, which one of you guys opened up the refrigerator door up there!? Here we were down here enjoying some nice 70's weather and then BAM! all of a sudden we're down in the 30's again. I blame Canada. Oh well, I understand we're supposed to be back up in the 70's for Easter so all is forgiven. Just next time, shut the door after you getchur beers out eh...
