I am in Eastern NM. A couple of years ago, we had -12 degrees for a week. Then it went to 112 degrees 90 days later. That's quite a swing. Adding to the problem is no moisture at all for the past 5 years and strong winds every day from one direction or another.
I often wonder why I put up with that.
I don’t believe in the whole global warming scam but I do remember reading stories about how the north pole was moving towards Siberia at about 40 miles a year. I would assume the south pole is moving as well. It might explain why it appears the ice at the original poles are melting and why Russia and Europe are freezing in the winter and why the U.S. seems warmer. Pole shift.
