"To top it off, it was just announced that 2015 was the warmest year on record for Earth, topping the old record set in 2014."

They've already got the 2016 hottest year on record stories edited

Meteorologists refer to that as “The Children’s Blizzard”.

The Superstorm of March 1993 pretty much outdid anything Jonas did.

Isn’t a meteorologist kinda like a chiropractor? You know, an Alan Harper type?

As more property is built in the areas hit by such "storms of the century" one would rightly expect elevated cleanup and rebuilding cost due to increasing loses. When you place breakable things in the places known to be susceptible to periodic violent storms, you have to expect more expensive broken things.

Regarding the "warmest year on record" claims, here is a link describing the nature of the instruments gathering the data. These revelations will only be surprising to a weather-reader who is too frightened to disagree with popular hysteria. But considering "records" go back only a hundred, plus years - and accurate ones only about twenty, to be impressed by new claims about trends within the last 20 years regarding an ever evolving environment that dates back several billion years is the height of intellect entertained by shiny trinkets rather than meaningful information.

I live right in the middle of the quad cities...equidistant from Hillsboro, Kendall, Union Center and Elroy. You must not be too far away.

I live in Holmen. I grew up in La Crosse and lived there for about fifty years.
