San Francisco is actually having a much colder summer just like much of the rest of the Pacific coastline all the way up to Calgary where they are having the coldest winter since the 1800's. sorry, global warming is only happening on the east coast this year. Somehow, that should be good for oil prices but it won't be.

I live about 100 miles south of San Francisco and for about two weeks or a little more now, it's been below freezing in the morning. I've seen cold days here but not to that extent. Personally, I don't mind the cold weather. Freezing weather kills germs in the air. A little snow, 2 or 3 inches, would thrill me and my son. I grew up in Northern Quebec Province and it was the norm to have 15-20 feet of snow in a season.

Here in Iowa, temps are moderating. Winters have been warmer, but the summers cooler. Not really warming or cooling, just narrower extremes and more erratic weather patterns.

In the last several years we have had frosts around the 18th of May. Very rare indeed. Our first frost this year was in September. Yet we've also had mild winters, a few years ago I picked salad out of the garden Christmas eve.

Does anyone remember the buttass cold of '93 - '95? I lived in Chicago those years and had to walk 15 blocks to work. I remember many subzero days and a few record low mornings at -25. No global warming those years. Funny how that gets forgotten.
