Whether you believe it or not you can't help but wonder WTF....

We got back from 2 weeks in Florida and the weather is the same here...today it was 79 degrees....in March....in Canada....

We had no snow to speak of this year....none...my kids have been wearing shorts and a T shirt to school...in March....in Canada

My 9 year old out of the blue asked me in a concerned tone...."Daddy, is there something wrong?".

I've never seen anything like this before. Our offices are in a skyscraper in Toronto and today I had 5 staff approach me about the Air Conditioning not working....I said...it's March....the buildings don't fire up the chillers until summer.....

Western Europe (typically wet) got hammered with snow but Norway had a heat wave.......weird chit mang  :scratchchin:

My wife's sister lives in Austria and it's the same over there. They had no snow to speak of at all this winter (just the odd light dusting). They weren't complaining though as it made winter driving very easy. And best of all..............no snow shoveling!!

Yeah, the weather has been nice in northern WI.

HOWEVER, surely you recall how nasty last winter was, and it WOULD NOT END!

Last winter was the worst winter I can recall. Nasty cold and constant snow. Went long into April.

We had a winter about 10 years ago that was similar. I just remember our local ski resort getting flooded and under water 2 weeks before the season was supposed to end. Even the global warming scientists aren't claiming this to be global warming. Interesting article:

Come on out here to Oregon. We've been getting our butts kicked by old man winter for about the past 4-5 years now. Record low temps, record rain and snowfall, snowfall late into March (it just melted off this afternoon), etc. I've lived here about 19 years now and 2011 was the first time I've seen any snowfall in March here.

What really sucks about all this is that for the past 2-3 years it's been cool, wet and overcast well into July. For most of July 2010 it would be overcast until about 2-3 pm and it would finally burn off and get warm. Last summer though it was crappy the whole summer. We had only 1 or 2 days where temps got into the 90s when we usually have several. Our last summer was basically about 6 weeks of warm, dry weather and then straight back to overcast and rain and record low temps. If it keeps this up I'm going to be seriously looking at jobs/homes in Arizona.

And what about those poor bastards in Romania? That one area had something like 18 feet of snow and completely buried several homes last month. The roads were blocked and so they couldn't get heating oil and diesel into some of these towns. What a mess...

Yeh, we have had a ton of mosquitos here already and my wife found a tick on her too.  I usually don't put down the tick stuff till May but found myself spraying the ground with it the other day just cause of the tick coming in.  Last year this time we still had a ton of snow as last year we got about 4 feet in two days.  Granted, I don't mind not having that much snow as it makes for an easy winter for my back but at the same time, there is no snow melt to replenish the reservoirs and lakes.  (which basically feed my well pump).  The issue I have had lately is that we have not really had any real rain to speak of lately.  I have also been noticing a black soot like appearance on my lower quarter of my truck and on my wifes explorer.  I initially thought it was carbon from the trucks exhaust being rich but once I found it on both side of the truck and my wifes explorer, I ruled out that it was the exhaust.  It almost seems like it is rubber dust sticking to the panels of the cars.  Theorizing that it could be rubber, the lack of rain would explain the excess amount of rubber on the roadways due to it not being washed away.

So anyway, back to global warming.... do I think it actually exists. Possibly.  But to blame weather on global warming I think is a bunch of BS as it seems to go in cycles.  You have some winters worse than others and you also have some summers that are cooler than others.  If there was global warming, I don't think we would have had the snow that we did a couple years ago or last year.  That year we had so much snow, I was running out of places to pile it as I was making the pile so high, I could not safely see to get out of my driveway!

Absolutely agree. Weather is indeed cyclical however, some of the events mentioned early to include Japan's tsunami, Chile's massive quakes and snow it does seem like we've pissed somebody off.  :shruggy:

I live in Ontario a few hours from you.  Three times this winter when I was out in the bush walking my dog I seen spiders walking across the snow.  Once I walked thru a cluster of bugs.  Not really mosquitos bug something that size and colour.  And the dog has allready had his first tick.  That's a month or two earlier then last year, and last year was early.

I talked to my accupuncturist about this and his comment was the world's been changing for years and years that there's not a f****** thing any of us can do about it, things have always been changing.   Blah blah blah I fell asleep.
