https://www.wftv.com/news/national-news/ap-top-news/science-says-get-used-to-polar-vortex-outbreaks/911194258It's a complicated story that involves a hefty dose of chaos and an interplay among multiple influences, so extracting a clear signal of the Arctic's role is challenging," said Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center. Several recent papers have made the case for the connection, she noted. Kind of wonder when we would have some winter "Climate Change"... Seems to me that they really go the extra mile to pin anything, and everything on man-made CO2, and avoid the more obvious. It's winter, of course it's cold, sometimes brutal too... I remember too many winters, where we'd hardly get more than a few days, before the next brutal storm, going on for weeks. Snow wouldn't even get a chance to melt, just kept getting higher, as the snowplows kept pushing off to the side, more accumulates on top. |

Could believe the temperatures on the weather map, for the northern states this morning. Was sort of wondering if Al Gore's Hockey-Stick Graph was upside-down. Seems like we are heading into an ice age, at an alarming rate. I'm glad all you northern people are doing your part, and cutting down the global average temperature. I've been lucky, my part of the state has stayed just below the freeze-warning zone all winter, and sort of looks like the worst of this cold will stay a little north of here. It's still cold, well down to the mid 40s at night, got up to 64 F today, still chilly though, put on a long sleaved shirt, when I stepped out to fly my 'drone'. |

It's been around since the 90's. HarveyH55 wrote: Of course they do. As you can see from the article, they can't even define either 'global warming' or 'climate change'. They just say, "It's complicated. You're tiny brain can't understand.". What a cop-out. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

Be sure to keep the frost off the propeller blades of your drone! Oh, and keep your batteries warm when you charge them and just before use. They don't work so well when cold! Enjoy your flight!

Yeah, it's going to be -30°F in my particular area of South Central WI tonight, and it will be over 40°F by mid-day Saturday... I guess that 70°F temperature swing in about a 55 hour time frame means that Climate Change MUST be real!!! |

Enjoy the cold now, give you something to think about later this year, when the temperatures skyrock, to maintain that warming trend. It's the average temperature over time, so if we go through brutal cold now, it's got to be historic highs later in the year. Wonder if people still burn coal to heat homes and large buildings. Suppose most were converted to natural gas a long time ago, since it would be pretty much labor free, no more shoveling, no mess to sweep up. |

I know some homes that are also heated with coal. They shovel it and clean it up like any fireplace.

HarveyH55 wrote: I guess I wouldn't know if any people directly burn coal anymore (I personally don't know any who do), but people indirectly use coal to heat homes if they make use of electricity [space heaters and the such]. HarveyH55 wrote: Correct. My home is primarily heated by natural gas. I also make use of a fireplace (wood powered) to supplement the natural gas heating during the Winter [which has come in REALLY handy with these double digit negative temps as of lately]. It saves me quite a bit of money on natural gas, as I never need to buy any of the wood (we just cut it down from my grandma's property, use the wood splitter to split it, and haul it over to my place to cure for a season or two). |

80s? We should be seeing some of that later next week, normal winter weather finally. My dad had 5 wood splitters(us kids), we only heated the house with wood. Cutting firewood took up a lot of our summer vacation from school, and into the fall (dad liked to make a quick buck off our hard work). He'd sell some, and we'd have to cut and split a bunch more. It was an all day, all weekend, and some during the week (mostly the splitting and stacking). Mt. Hood National Forest sold daily permits, and dad wanted to get his $5.00 worth. They use to drag a lot of the deadfall near the access roads, so it wasn't too bad, unless dad spotted some hardwood further down (had good eyes). He'd run the chainsaw, and we'd carry the wood back to the truck, and stack it as high as we could go. Then, dad would have us unload some of it, so we could squeeze on a little more, tie it down. |
