    WTF? 25 degrees tonight in April? That's record setting.
    90 degrees in March? Record setting. IT'S THE SAME LOCATION!
    How can it go from 90 to 25 in two weeks? All the blossoms that came out a month early will now get wiped out....

    Climate change means more erratic weather, not general warming

    Sorry, but no comments from the U.K. You have maybe 30 degrees farenheit difference between summer and winter. Much of America has that much change in one day. England amazed me.....never cold enough to snow, never hot enough to wear shorts.

    So I left my window open a few nights ago, anticipating another breezy 60-70 degree evening.

    Woke up the next morning on an ice block of a pillow.

    WTF is going on? I mean, really, what the fuck?

    Atlanta broke a 100 year cold record today!
    Like I said, two weeks ago it was a 25 year hot weather record.

    Yeah, it's crazy. I think it's not related to climate change, but it would take a few more years of this to mean anything.

    I'm glad our traditional "rent a beach house/cabin by the lake with friends" was cancelled this year.

    It was frackin' cold here! :ualbert:

    We took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood yesterday. About halfway, the light snow flurries that had been fluttering down turned into a full-out five-minute blizzard! Almost white-out! But every single flake melted the instant it touched down. Then it blew over and the sun came out, and there wasn't a stich of evidence that there HAD been snow. Very straaaaaange.

    The dog loved the blizzard though. Little Siberian bitch.

    Was 27c in London (what we get at the height of summer), normally 10-12c this time of year.
