Foggy and in the sixties in my part of Maryland. We had to open a few Windows to cool off the house today. Too many people with Christmas sweaters in a small room.

My nieces were asking me yesterday, "Uncle Bill, doesn't this finally convince you about global warming?" To which I responded, "Well, it might, but in my 63 years this is at least the fourth time it's been warm enough to go swimming after opening presents. And I also remember twice when that pond out there was frozen over thick enough to go out walking on it, and that didn't mean global cooling!"

Seems a lot of people don't know the difference between weather and so called climate change.

Life is good in S/E Texas and the weather is just fine.
It hit 80 here today, the sun is out, the grass is still growing in the pasture, we had bar-b-que for Christmas dinner, and this aint the first time for any of it.
Cold winters and snow?...no thanks, you guys can keep it.
Merry Christmas.

There's been more than a few on this forum who have cited the thermometer reading in their back yard on a particular day as evidence that refuted global warming.

Last night was the first Christmas Eve I have ever slept with the windows open. 71 when I went to bed.

I've been wearing my shorts & going barefoot a lot these last few days,,, & we've had a lot of rain as well. We broke some records of high temps lately.
It doesn't feel like it's deer season.

Sunny, windy and cool here in the desert Southwest yesterday... 56 degrees for a high, and t'was 28 overnight! Absolutely nothing unusual going on here.
I'd sure like to have had DGW's 80 degrees though!

Glad someone is having good weather. It's frickin' freezing here. Right now, Where I'm at in Arizona is fourteen degrees colder than where my brother is at in Wisconsin. And it was 8 below zero in Flagstaff.
30 degrees on Christmas Day, grilled our T-bones in just a light jacket. Woke up this morning to 6" of snow. Weather is always an active topic, just hang on a few days, it WILL change. :mrgreen:

And it's all our fault! No good humans! The world would be so much better off if we'd all just march into the sea and drown!

One of my nieces is committed to seeing the world's population reduced to the "ideal" 500 million. So, my question to her has been, "Fine! So, which 6.5 billion do we kill, Fraulein Hitler?"
She gets angry and leaves the room when I ask...
Other favorite themes of hers --
-- "Species are going extinct at a greater rate than ever before in the history of the planet!" Oh, really? And how many species are there now? How many in the past? What is the "normal rate of extinctions? " Answer to all -- no one knows. Never mind that if dinosaurs hadn't been bumped aside, WE would never have existed...
-- She recently joined up with a group that was planning to plant a billion trees because, "There are fewer trees now than ever before in earth's history!" One real thinker, a forestry science PhD, was prompted to inquire how many trees ARE on the planet? Turns out no one had ever even made an estimate of the number, so working with foresters from all over the world he worked out a method of estimating and came up with the figure -- 13.4 TRILLION. Now, the eco-group still maintains this is fewer than ever -- how do you KNOW??? -- and is now aiming toward planting a trillion trees...well, maybe it'll keep 'em out of real mischief.
Phony science, people. Look for the REAL motivation behind all this.

No need for that. One of these years, a new disease will pop up and take care of a signifigant percentage of the world population.

Right, Dr. Mengele -- and when we discover the vaccine we'll only give it to the "elite"! :lol: :wink:

Something that hits faster than we can get a vaccine going. No need to posit sinister motives.
It is finally starting to dry out some here. Went to my Sisters today for a family get together. They live on Jackson Lake within sight of the dam. The people that live on the point across from where my sister lives were putting all their belongings in a U-haul because their house is flooded. To be honest I always thought that house was built on ground that was too low. The water was up above the sea wall in my sisters yard. The spillways in the dam were wide open all day. You could hear the roar of the water going out & see the mist from it even from her house about 400 yards away on the lake side of the dam. I don't mind it being warm but we do need some time for things to soak in & run off.

10 below here in Cedar City Utah tonight. We had around a foot of snow. Al Gore might like it.

They even say we should get above freezing by next year (after the first).
Had to shovel a bit of snow this morning.

Alaska is skipping Winter again, and no complaints from me.

It depend upon where you live. Our local Weather Station at the airport reported that we enjoyed the "earliest winter" and the coldest December in 12 years. I believe it from our ranch daily records. Our North Ranch has had it's warmest day since November when it got up to 20 degrees last Saturday.
