Title: Where is the global warming?
Post by: osage outlaw on February 21, 2015, 10:30:08 am: I took this picture from our local news station yesterday. Its been quite a week of breaking records. Woke up this morning to 4"-5" of new snow. I know you guys more north are probably used to it, but I'm not. Normal temps for here should be 40's and 20's. I'm sooooo ready for spring.

Post by: JoJoDapyro on February 21, 2015, 11:33:20 am: I would gladly trade you some weather! I don't depend on it as that is a fools game, but I normally earn an extra hundred or so hours of vacation from snow plowing. We are given the option of over time, or comp. I would rather get time off then to let Uncle Sam take half. In 07 we plowed every day except Sundays from mid November through March. I made more money that year than I did this last one, and I make almost $6 an hour more now. My onions are almost ready to harvest!

Post by: cdpbrewer on February 21, 2015, 03:29:27 pm: Global warming is now called by the politically corrrect "climate change". ;) Indeed- last week in here in Chattanooga I worked up a bit of a sweat on a hickory stave in the uninsultated, no heat or AC shop with a ~60 degF inside the shop. Yesterday the high in the shop was *#@^ 23 degF! Too cold out there for bow making for this southern boy. Still, it's nothing like what you guys to the north get hammered with....

c.d.

Post by: wizardgoat on February 21, 2015, 03:42:19 pm: I wish we had some snow this year, maybe not as much as some of you guys got!
It's been bright blue sunny 60'+ here as well. Winter didn't happen here this year :-\
I just cut my lawn!

Post by: JoJoDapyro on February 21, 2015, 05:52:08 pm: The aspens and willows are beginning to bud out. I saw a cherry tree today while out that had some flowers. Most trees in Utah don't start to bud out here until April. Fruit growers may be in trouble this year. It happens every 10 years or so, gets warm, trees blossom and then we have a hard freeze. I'm feeling a bit cold today and it is 48. I'm also in shorts.

Post by: Japbow on February 21, 2015, 06:14:18 pm: The terminology has evolved from "global warming" to
"climate change". The reason is that although avg global
temps continue to rise, some areas will experience colder
weather. One reason is Greenland's iceshelf melting into
the Atlantic which causes the thermohaline conveyor to
shrink. Thermo...what!? It's what allows warmer water
from the equator to circulate to the north Atlantic enabling
a "warmer" temperate climate in the eastern US & Canada.
Take a look at the recent snowfall in Nova Scotia, brought
to us humble earth dwellers by...overall avg warming =
"climate change." Science deniers, I'm sorry...

If it was 48 here I wouldn't know what to do. It warmed up to almost 30 today and I was loving it.

I cut an osage tree a couple of weeks ago and the sap poured out of it.

Post by: JoJoDapyro on February 21, 2015, 09:02:26 pm: Now you know how the other half normally lives in the winter. >:D We need the water really bad. People in Utah can't seem to grasp that we really do live in a desert. I worked for a guy years ago who had an average water bill in the growing season of $600. That was when water was cheap!
