Southeast Michigan USA.

Ok, last week it was around 2 degrees F, very cold and windy. Snow up to our knees, coldest month on record up till yesterday.

Now it's the 26th of December, raining 39 degree F, but that's not the issue tomorrow it's getting into the 60's.

And now we are going to break high temp records as well, so we break both high and lows for one month. One extreme to the other.

WTF! is going on? Anyone else getting crazy weather patterns.

Al Gore is manipulating the weather to support his idea that global warming exists. It will get real cold for a long time soon.

Here is another question I am wondering about. Most everyone is experiencing excrutiatingly bad allergies with this bad weather change from one extreme to another where I am (North Texas).

Anyone else's area having higher than normal allergy related problems?

Nothing unusual going on out here in the northwest. Some high winds here and there and the usual snow fall that happens each season during the month of Dec.

In fact the snowfall is a bit low for the season, but not anything extreme like what is being described here as weird weather.

Well I would say take advantage of the warmer weather where it is normally very cold, save on them heating bills.





Cheers!!!!

Global Warming is a myth. That is why everyone has started to use the term Climate Change.

That way it doesn't matter if it gets cold or hot, the climate is changing, therefor they are right.

Do any of you who are having breathing problems allowing some outside air to ventelate the stale air inside? It is well documented and proven that the indoor air is up to 70 perecent dirty compared to the air outside.

Maybe try letting a little outside air ventelate the indoor air once in a while will help.

When you start to sneeze and queeze, go to a window and open it a bit and breathe in the ouside air and watch suddenly your breathing begin to clear.

Or simply step outside for a minute or two and wonder at the magic of what clean air does! It works for me quite well, both ventelating the house and going outside for fresh air.

Northeast Arkansas; Sunday, high of 23, low 13; Friday(26)high in the sixties(not sure of the exact temp but it was one degree shy of breaking a 119 year record. In our part of the country, we don't normally see temps this low until the middle of January. Nomal highs in December are in the 50's.
Can ypu say Global Cooling?

The breach in the magnetoshere is just causing the jet stream to change its usual pattern.
My Opinion only.

I was asking my husband the exact same question earlier today. I live in Southern Indiana so the weather here has been pretty much the same as dalan's. Last week it was 7 degrees one day and in the 50's the next. A few days ago there was freezing rain and my car doors were almost frozen shut, the next day it was warm. And now it's supposed to be in the 70's here tomorrow.

I don't know what's going on with this weather, but I'm tired of this permanent cold me and my kids have had since the weather started yo-yo'ing back and forth between warm and freezing.

I think this is a good observation, I would agree with you.

Temps are going up and down quickly, causing severe flooding here and ice jams too.

I just told my husband that I needed to go and start a thread on the weather, you beat me to it! We just went through two ice storms and temps in the single digits...tonight we have been sitting on the front porch enjoying nighttime temps in the 60's and to top it off we heard spring frogs, not like we hear them in the spring in large numbers, but there are a few out tonight...this is really freaky and I have never had a problem with my sinuses, but they have been killing me the past two days!
