Some will shout GLOBAL WARMING, but it really just solar
variations. The whole solar system is getting measurably
hotter and the Mars Rovers are getting lots more solar power

Actually, it is an El Nino. This year's formed later in the year, at the
end of August, which is what blunted the hurricane season.

I am baffled by the astonishment everyone shows when the storms
hit. It's winter in the Northern Latitudes. Is any of this a surprise?


*chuckle* Yep, the first big snow storm of the season always brings
out the breathless reporters and endless video of cars in the ditch.


We didn't get much snow (we don't, down in the valley here, but we broke a
record set in 1931 for cold, -6F.

Seattle area also got hit by snow and low temperatures, very unusual for this
area, following massive amounts of rain.

Just an inch or two on the roofs in my neighborhood on the south side of the
area, though...

How baddly did you get hit?


A 40 degree change in temperature from one day to the next... It makes
it even seem a bit like winter here... I actually had to switch from
shorts and a polo shirt to long pants and a polo shirt...

45mph wind gust on my backyard wind meter, fastest I have had in 2 years of
owning it. Lots of trees uprooted, signs down, semis blown over, crazy.

Really? Where do you live?

A 45 mph gust in two years makes me think you live in a sheltered area, or your
meter is way off. A 45 MPH wind does not usually blow over semis, ect.
