Don’t you understand? The cooling is caused by the warming!

[Sundog]

Snow in the High Uinta mountains of Utah tonight, low of 29.

[cripplecreek]

Been highs into the 70s here in southern Michigan for at least a week. A few days back I woke up and it was only 48 degrees.

[retrokitten]

Yep. 80 in Chicago today. Yesterday was 78 and tomorrow 82.

It’s rarely this cool this time of year. But I guess next week it’s supposed to be back to heat and humidity, IOW, regular August weather.

The leaves are beginning to turn and some are even dropping here in Illinois.

[sarasota]

NW Illinois is having weather in the 70’s which is very unusual for August.

[jpl]

It's the exact same here in the northeast: the mildest and most comfortable August I can remember in many years.

I know it's brutal out in Las Vegas and other places in the west, but it couldn't get any nicer here!

" The cooling is caused by the warming! "
Yup, they got all their bases covered by that lie.

[Dixie Yooper]

His Holiness explained that fluctuations like this would happen in The Movie. Nothing to be alarmed about.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Maybe it's a vast left wing conspiracy to freeze us all to death by the left and envirowackos by rising up the fuel cost and them causing the weather to be cool this winter....

[Bitsy]

...But global warming is undisputed science. And so is the science of evolution.

[longtermmemmory]

don’t forget the northern polar region has NEW SEALANES open as a result of warming. (not to be confused with the south pole)

New sealanes equal faster routes and lower costs and less fuel use.

Quoting txflake from another thread:

"I heard a strange thing today. TX corn farmers have noticed the spanish (TX) thistle is blooming which portends an early winter. Apparently the plant blooms 6 weeks before the first frost, which would put the first frost at Sept 1 or so? The one I heard this from got this from the centex corn belt.

I have a hard time believing that the first frost would hit THAT early but as I sit here in southwest Missouri it is 68 degrees with a forecasted high of 78. Normally temps are in the high 90's at this time.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Nothing to be alarmed about.

Heretic!

We must all be alarmed at all times. Otherwise we will not seek help from His Holiness and the anointed wise ones. Then where would we be?

[MattinNJ]

This August feels like October or April here in Joisey.

[xp38]

Hard to imagine how humans can adapt to those temps.

[mattdono]

It’s still all George Bush’s fault.

[Tarpon]

We have a house in NH, the roofers and painters have put us on the list, but they now say it’s going to be next year. They cite the late summer season, rain days and cold for lack of progress. They are also complaining bitterly about not making any money for the last two years and the enormous increased cost of supplies — Roofers use a lot of oil based products.

I have a hard time believing that the first frost would hit THAT early but as I sit here in southwest Missouri it is 68 degrees with a forecasted high of 78. Normally temps are in the high 90's at this time.

Baghdad got white, puffy clouds in the sky a couple of days ago and for two days in a row. That doesn't usually happen until mid to late September. The Iraqis say that means we'll have an early fall and a long winter (such as winter is here.)

I say bring it on. ;-)
