How is climate change and extreme weather affecting your area?

[GuiltyPleasure]

Here in the Pacific North West, at this time of year, it's buckets of rain and high winds, floods and power outages. Summer brings prolonged drought which ain't good for a rain forest....fires.

What's happening in you 'hood?

I'm in Florida, and it's warmer than usual for this time of year.

 

[lovecraft68]

I'm in Rhode Island where it made the sixties today, far milder than usual.

 

[someoneyouknow]

We're going to be in the mid-60s on Sunday here in the Mid-Atlantic region.

In fact, our temperatures are supposed to be in the upper 40s and mid-50s through the end of December. Not a single snowflake to be seen anywhere.

 

[jezzilee]

I am about as north in Northern Wisconsin as you can get...not a snowflake in sight!

 

[lovecraft68]

It was really mild in December here last year too, then from Jan to end of Feb all hell broke loose with snow storm after snow storm. I could do without a do over

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Strange times. ATM rain is lashing my window, the poor hummingbirds get driven into the glass.

Great.

I hope your brollie gets turned inside out, your shoes leak and your roof blows off.

Cherry trees are blossoming in Washington DC.

I posses no brollie, all my shoes feasibly leak, and every time it rains significantly my habitat completely floods - literally.

Thankfully, I possess enough common sense (most of the time) to raise things when rain threatens (relatively rarely), leaky shoes aren't that much of a concern when flops are all that are needed a great majority of the year, and a brollie is way too limey.

So, upon one of the most inhospitable* and almost uninhabited* terrains in these continental united States, and in one of its most undesirable* climates, I do exactly what any sensible person does who fabulously enjoys life here: I joyfully and eagerly adapt to what nature dictates, thus naturally ridding myself of any need of whining, moaning, or complaining when nature doesn't adapt to me.

In fact, on the complete other hand, I will from time to time on this Board absolutely exalt the gorgeousness of the environment I am blessed to live in.

It's truly pathetic reading so many so constantly whine about the very environment they choose to abide in, as if they're actually victims, somehow.

I do apologize for distracting your thread: no doubt there are many here who are authoritative enough to actually address your query rather than just issue forth more their random comments on their weather as they see it.


*[ inhospitable, almost uninhabited, and undesirable all used in reference toward the historical fact of the great number of people who have made it to this outpost land, found it all three, failed to adapt, and died here or left...

...compared to the so few people (again: relatively speaking) who choose to live here today, anyway.]

You should really do a little introspection and ask your poor ego why it needs fear inferiority to me.

Bright sunshine, people at the beach, no breeze.

But it's coooooooold...high temp is hovering around 65 degrees.

No PMs of sympathy necessary, folks - I can handle it. I'm a big boy.

It's called El Niño.

There is nothing unusual about the weather. It is behaving as one would expect in an El Niño year.

You really are a wind bag. "Do a little introspection" yourself, boring old fart.

Do you offer a 4th grade class teaching how to replicate your brand of elementary short, trite, and basically hollow style of post replying?

We have mosquitoes here in New York City in December. No "global warming" or anything like that, no sir.

I don't know what typical is, here.

Last year was no snow, just ice. This year it looked promising with some snowfall but it hasn't kept up, and the snow was too dry to make a snowman.

Four years ago there was so much snow that my kids snowboarded off the neighbor's roof.

I have lived here in Texas all my life so I'm not sure what extreme weather looks like...Nice and mild?

Climate is typical - average, weather is the variation from day to day. Climate is boring, weather is interesting.

They cancelled the shrimp season again, for, I think, the third year in a row. The shrimp don't breed well in the warmer water.

More people are being diagnosed with Lyme Disease as ticks are living longer into the fall.

Here in the polynesian south pacific we have temperatures in the high 20's, humidity in the 90%+, gentle breezes and lower than average rainfall. Going to be another Bar BQ Christmas again this year.
