Boston got a 70 degree day in FEBRUARY — normally our heavy snow month, and averaging around freezing temperatures — followed by a record-setting four nor’easter snowfalls in March, plus a snowstorm in April which fortunately did not stick. Welcome to a warming world, folks. Global warming means more energy in the atmosphere, and thus more variation and extremes in weather. And here in Boston, at least, more snow, because even though we get fewer snowfalls due to warmer climate, when we get them there is more snow because warmer air carries more moisture.

Please…send rain to Florida…not hurricane rain, but the nice gentle soakings once experienced in the Midwest.

The new season is called Sprinter; it’s wretched, but if I was Nature I’d be pissed, too!

Tee-shirts in the morning & winter coats in the afternoon here in Kansas. If you don’t like the weather just wait an hour because it’s sure to change.

Isn’t it nice to know there is no climate change. /s

We got 9 inches of snow – while the rest of the country got higher taxes, less jobs and a plummeting stock market.

Don’t expect it to get better anytime soon…

“…while Trump’s trade war guts agribusiness and puts your dumb asses on food stamps.”
Food stamps?! Trump don’t want no food stamps! He said he’s gonna replace that with delivery of same-for-everyone prepackaged meals.
I expect that’ll be from one of his favorite “health-food stores”… McDonald’s, KFC, or Pizza Hut. Definitely not from Amazon.
