Forecast highs for Oklahoma City:
Today: 85
Saturday: 81
Sunday: 81
Monday: 81
Tuesday: 85
I can't recall a five day stretch in Oklahoma in mid-August with high temps that low.
And still nary a sunspot to be seen as well...
But global warming is undisputed science.
Don't you understand this is merely a temporary anomoly? While there may be a temporary decrease in temperatures over the next few months, within a year, we will see higher temperatures again.
The globull warming alarmists make proclamations out of speculation. Just the other day I heard one summing up his rant with the statement that “Society doesn’t deal with surprises very well”.
Personally I’m wondering where he got his evidence for society’s lack of adaptability. I’m thinking he yanked it out of his own butt.
What is your dispute with evolution?
Maybe it will snow on the DNC next week - wouldn't that be rich??
Same thing over here in Idaho. Last weekend highs in the low 80s...all next week highs will be in the low 80s. Our normal August weather is usually around 105!!! It’s been our local joke “What Global Warming???”
Allegra anything that increases your comfort level in Baghdad I support!
I would put in a good word for you with The Lord but I'm afraid my influence with Him is so bad lightning would strike me and Baghdad would be hit with a heatwave of Biblical proportions. :)
That would put first frost at October 1, not September 1. Which is still pretty early for that neck of the woods.
It is really cold here in the mountains of Colorado. Right now, at 8500ft elevation it is 44 degrees. Predictions of snow above 10,000 ft.
LOL. Then I shall put in a good word for you with the Lord to help get you out of the doghouse. ;-)
Summer here is one long, big ol' hairy heat wave. The good news is that we're on the downhill side of it now. It's still hotter than blazes, but by this time next month, it should be more tolerable (still hot, though) and we'll start seeing pleasant mornings and evenings.
If you were wondering where all the “drowning Polar Bear” stories are.......

Might just be because there is a lot more ice up there this time of year than there was last year.
It’s settled science...
The debate is over...
Only the stupid or evil disagree...
It’s about 5-6 weeks too early. Our normal first frost here is Nov. 7. (I typoed the Sept 1, meant Oct 1)
Also.. in TX we have the annual cricketfest - quadrillions of black crickets piling up deep at grocery, convenience stores (anywhere there’s all night lighting) - which normally happens in September, but they’re here now.
It’s really an ugly phenomenom, cricket ‘peanut butter’ underfoot everywhere.
The crickets are here already, but they were also here in August last year. I remember coming back from Corpus in August of 2007, and the fast food joint I got breakfast at was overrun with them. Dead crickets were everywhere.
Denver had a high of 59. That shattered the previous record of 68 for the lowest high temp for that date.
