Heat rises, and the Republican primaries can't be that well insulated, so I'm just it's just a result of the hot air all going up to Canada.

At least it's not the normal BS about global warming causing colder winters.

Japan's having a hell of a winter.

So it all balances out. One polite society to another.

pirate numbers are down. I wonder what all this means.

Don't tell that to people in Alaska. Those yokels actually think it's -36° outside.

I like having sex with goats

Also one of the driest winters on record, oh wait that was last year.

Well less winter means less snow and a lot of people rely on snowpack for their water.

Droughts this summer?

Chicago feels like spring! ~hello all noob alert~

Should make the poutine fields easier to plow then.

antidisestablishmentarianism: So while we're all talking about global warming, CanadaWisconsin didn't have a winter this year

I was thinking the same thing.

It hit like -20 to -30 for maybe 3 days this month, then just ended and back up to the tshirt weather -5 to -10 area. I think I wore a winter coat once. It's bullshiat. I like the cold, or at least I've convinced myself of that until this point.

Texas hasn't had one, either. Granted, it's Texas, so it's not like we get blizzards every other day.

Still, I went for a walk today in shorts and a tank top. It's only on noteworthy days that I bother with a jacket.

I'm in the northern US and it was 57 degrees today. Unfarkingreal!

Look at all of the people in Canada not giving a fark.

/Canadian living on the Atlantic Coast expecting half a foot of snow tomorrow.

I_Am_Weasel: Environment Canada got a forecast wrong?

Well. I'll be. I'd never thought I'd see the day when...some felt the need to actually point that out.

Thinking about going to work for them after graduation. On one hand, they need all the help they can get; on the other, they need all the help they can get.

yes, drought this summer. just watch and wait while texas burns again.

burn, texas, burn!

Supposed to be 60 in the Boston area tomorrow. Quite the change from a year go, when we had 4 feet of snow in the yard...

Tell that to the people in Wales and western England.

Did everyone forget about February? The worst month of the winter?

Here in Kansas we've had like one cold snap that lasted about a week, where temps got into the teens in the mornings, and that's been it. Couple dustings of snow depending on where you live but nothing to speak of. 40's and 50's have been the norm; it was 65 today. I haven't heard any official predictions yet but unless it's a wet spring, wheat harvest around here is going to be terrible.

I live in MN, and haven't had a winter either. Jeebus, 50f in Dec. 40f highs in Jan going into Feb.
/which is fine

54 here in Chicago

I'm in northern MN and I've had to shovel twice. Both times it was about 3 inches of snow. We only got enough to cover the grass completely about 2 weeks ago. Great for the ice fishermen, bad for the snowmobilers.

We had one here, but it only lasted two days instead of five months. There have been at least twenty days this month where I could go outside quite comfortably in a t-shirt. Normally if you do that in Edmonton in Januarly odds are good you're dead in half an hour.

Omahawg: yes, drought this summer. just watch and wait while texas burns again.

burn, texas, burn!

Actually, we just had 9 inches of rain fall here in Fort Worth with more rain on the way by the weekend. We're making up for the drought quite nicely.

I live near Memphis, TN and this has been a mild winter so far. 365 days ago it wasn't so mild. So I'm declaring GLOBAL FLUCKING WARMING STARTING NOW!!!

Florida hasn't had much of a.winter either... I think you're on to something, subby. You diabolical genius you.

Not much of a winter here in Michigan either. Was cold as fark for about a week total so far this season. But, there's still another month of winter left, plenty of time to make up for it with a good ice storm like we saw last year.

Us either. It's not supposed to be above freezing for days at a time in January, in Montana, at 6000 feet. No snow either. Just bleh.

It's a pain in the ass. I bought new snowsnoes, and there really hasn't been enough snow to use them. It snows less than 6", then rains and melts it all. A few winters ago I stepped off my old snowsnoes and went in up to my crotch.

(I was taking a piss.)

Thisbymaster: Did everyone forget about February? The worst month of the winter?

Shut your whore mouth.

Just out of curiosity, what's happening where the jet stream actually *is*, as opposed to where it usually is. Is it a case of it's always so cold there that it doesn't make a difference, or is it too cold for those areas to get their normal snowball or are they drowning under the stuff or what?

Also, I read somewhere that some Europe-to-North America flights are burning extra fuel because of headwinds over their routes. Are west-to-east flights burning less fuel or do they go under anyways or what?

you realize there's still 2 months of winter left? We're not even to the midpoint yet.
