Anyone been paying particular attention to the weather this winter?

[Twitch]

For dec. and Jan. its been pretty damn warm. Has anyone run across a reliable given reason for this? And Im not looking for global warming or 2012 prophesies. I dont watch TV, so anything thats been on the news or weather channel I havent been privy to. Just curious. Really odd weather weve been having. Its been up and down but mostly warm, relative to how winter should be anyhow.

Global warming, dummy.


JOKING!!!

I dont know....but I like it! its warm here too!

Just looked at my 7 day forecast. Im going to give this phenomenon a name. Its called a sine wave weather pattern. If you were to plot the temps on a graph, it would look like an inch worm.

La Nina

La Nina

I thought La Nina was supposed to make the weather colder? And El Nino makes it warmer?

I was watching the weather channel on this- thursday here in des moines it was 65. Usually its around 20, lol. They said the main reason is because of no snow on the ground anywhere. Storms coming out of canada start out cold and then moderate when they hit dry, warmer air. Im cool with it, this year we've only had 5 inches of snow, last year at this time we were well over 20.

Bout dam time global warming kicked in, 40 degrees in WI in January I'll fucking take it!!!




Yesterday was even better

Pretty sure its because I've been trying to sell a set of snow tires.

It's a bit disturbing.

It's been the same over here. After two really cold winters, this one has been really warm.

Almost opposite over here - pissing it down or gale force winds, mostly the latter, especially in Scotland. Satellite dishes being bashed off by falling tree trunks, cables sliced by flying roof tiles. Very busy at work. Been a few fatalities on the roads too. I'd say its warmer than our previous winters, but nothing great.

the new level of pollution in China is fucking it up.

Twitch,

Are you compaining? Would you rather buy guitars or pay for heating

[Grim]

No snow here either, and that is very odd.

[BYeh1]

Pretty cold here in Hong Kong, had to buy some portable heaters which we didn't need last year.

Nah, just find it really odd. No complaint, just wondered.

yea, well if the weather woman says your going to get 8 inches tonight, you better not dissappoint your wife.

I am only valid on the nights the weather says we are goign to get 4 inches.

Aight, here's my take on it.... which I'll painstakingly and quite boringly to most be willing to back up scientificly.

In a nut shell the axis of the Earth is not the rigid degree we've all been taught(even NASA is now admiting this). Instead the axis is actually wobbling some, like a tooth in a loose socket. These paterns of fluctuation allow for many changes, not only in the weather patterns of certain areas but also things like the orbit of the moon(affecting tides, etc...)

This is a proven fact, many hypothesize that recent 'spurts' of tectonic shift are directly related....

I'll be happy to continue on all this, but I feel many here would be bored and uninterested. You have my email, if you want to discuss this further feel free to hit me up Bro!
