Today it was 13 degrees for a high...it felt like summer compared to some of the days we have had.

And in San Diago roller bladers in shorts are skating past the palm trees, earbuds in place and enjoying a favorite ice cream treat.
Weather is most interesting to those reporting the local conditions.
Otherwise….not so much.

Local to who? Later I will report local conditions where I am at. This will mostly be done to brag and make you envious. Big Grin

Very interesting. It clearly shows that heat is rising from the San Andreas Fault and it's slowly cooking anyone who doesn't move around much.

Quote:The snow that whitened Seattle Saturday evening not only set a record, but it also created problems for travelers while entertaining kids and those young at heart.

The same storm that returned snow and ice to Portland, Ore., on Saturday, spread northward and dropped 2.9 inches of snow at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Saturday evening.

That amount shattered the day's previous snowfall record of 0.4 of an inch from 1957.

Records at the airport date back to 1945, and the Seattle-Tacoma Airport averages 6.8 inches of snow yearly.

Quote:After rough winter, Fort Wayne may need to brace itself for more trouble this spring. This winter's record snowfall is fueling concerns that Indiana's second-largest city could see destructive spring flooding if heavy rains quickly melt away the region's snow cover.

During a similar scenario in March 1982, severe flooding brought the city national attention and President Ronald Reagan helped in sandbagging efforts during a visit to the city.

They don't have Ronnie to help them anymore.

Quote:We shattered the record for the most snowfall ever for a Valentine’s Day with over 5” officially for the city. The previous record of 3.2” stood since 1970 - the only other February 14th ever to produce a 3” snow. Interestingly – this is only the 8th Valentine’s Day with a 1” snowfall.

And with the snowfall in the city of Philadelphia Thursday, a 130-year-old record was shattered. For the first time in the city’s history, there have been four 6+ inch snowfalls or more in season. In addition, we are now in the top 5 snowiest winters of all-time

Alaska had 3rd warmest January on record...

...sucked for the Iditarod.

What happened with that Polar Vortex stuff anyway? Turns out, even though everyone east of the Rockies had cold Januaries, not a single state broke their coldest January on record. And, in the lower 48, the average January 2014 temperature was a whole 0.1° F lower than the 20th century average for January. Oooohhhhh.... scary Polar Vortex. Must be global cooling! Not.

If you look at things Globally

Quote:All Americans heard about in January was the extreme cold and the repeated intrusion of the polar vortex. But the weather in the eastern U.S. deviated from much of the rest of the planet. Overall, NOAA reports, the global temperature in January was the warmest since 2007 and the 4th warmest on record, dating back to 1880.

It's like pulling down on a Mobile,

You tug down on one spot and the whole thing jumps up and down all over.

We will not live long enough to see the weather stabilize to a new relatively quit equilibrium.

You think it's been unstable?

You should have seen it up until the last 10 thousand years.

Funny, (not ha ha) I was just searching Alaskan property this morning. If I make it another 20 years it should be just about perfect weather and fishing should still be better than here. Smiling

Except in the winter, higher latitudes have a bigger extreme in daylight hours.
