Paging Mr. Al Gore
Mr. Al Gore please pick up the white courtesy telephone.
(FWIW we’re hitting high 40s overnight in central Indiana)
Aww crap.
I didn’t need to see that.
They show Kalifornia as mild and dry. I don’t mind the mild but I wish there was more wet in the forecast.
ah crap! That’s it, I’m putting in a wood burning stove. Heating bills were bad enough last winter.
To balance out the hotter and dryer summer we've had.
It all averages out.
The oceans are cooler than normal, though, judging from the very mild hurricane season so far.
Doesn’t quite jive with Accuweather’s forecast.

One Farmer’s Almanac I read, years ago...predicted the number of snows by number of fogs in August. I don’t know why, just one of those things that stuck with me...yep, strangely enough I watched it, remembering. So far it hasn’t failed.
There’ll be no snow in South Austin this year.
I actually get a thrill - amazing people with my prognosticating. I do however, give credit where credit is due.
Just tell Al Gore that his work is done, America is colder, the planet is saved and he can go retire somewhere. Quickly! Before he freezes us all to death.
I live in the U.P.and the leaves are already showing signs of turning. It isnt from dry weather either. This morning we had wide spread frost.
Oh how I remember the winter of 76-77 when it did not get above 0 for days. 30 below was the norm. That was the year I froze my face scaling logs in a field.
Then there was the winter in the early 90s where it was cold for about a month straight. Many loggers left their machines run all night long to be able to work the next day.
She’s gonna be a long cold one. Havent seen the big lake iced completely over in some time..or Lake Michigan either for that matter. This could be the year.
I’ve got one window open, but tonight it is going shut. It’s already dropped fifteen degrees.
1849 was near the beginning of the most recent warming period, when we've seen some sunspot mimimums, like those in the 1970s, and some maximums, including during the Dustbowl era of the 1930s, and late 1980s to the late 1990s, when Algore jumped on the Global Warming bandwagon, hoping to scare folks into increasing the powers of governement to tax and punish.
I hope the Almanac is wrong about the West Coast. I have read that California is expecting an El Nino year, which means a lot more rain than usual (like 21 inches per year instead of 14). I’m sticking with the El Nino forecast, and crossing my fingers. We have had some unusual movements of sea critters like squids, which seem to support the El Nino theory.
Ahh, cool and average. I can go for that this year. :)
