It has been so cool and wet in west central WI the flowers are just starting to bloom. The ground has been so cold nothing is progressing in a normal manner.
The flowering crab trees just into full bloom yesterday. The reg. apple trees just starting. I would guess about a week to 10 days late.

No No No - Per AOC it's that DC had a tornado watch. Watch, not warning. Like that's never happened before. And of course it never gets sweltering in the South. Try training at Ft. Benning in the summer, cool as a cucumber . Or Fort Gordon, Georgia.  L.W. Or Camp LeJeune....and don't even think about Fort Jackson... It's hot there in January

Like most of your all's BS, article doesn't mention climate change (man made or any other). Just OP's more attempts to drum up hits on his BS.
Phil It's all the hype about the terrible extreme weather, climate change not withstanding. Like the swarm of tornadoss in north Texas. You'd think it was end-times from what CNN reported. About 1970 I was in high school, and being an aviation nut, when watches severe enough to scramble aircraft from Perrin AFB I'd find my way to base ops and watch the systems roll in on the weather radar. More than once I'd watch a hook echo move directly overhead and go out to the ramp and watch the funnel cloud directly overhead. Wasn't an unusual event, funnels seldom touched down and when they did seldom hit anything except maybe a pole barn or a couple bins. And I'd be willing to bet most of that was straight line wind. Nowadays three cows fart at the same time and it's a headline story

It is 96 degrees and no wind in Eastern NC and no rain in sight. Corn rolled up and in places brown. Canals that I have never seen dry are dust dry. We need a afternoon boomer. Yeah, it's "abnormally dry" this year, but the US overall has come out of a long drought: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/

A drought here but not long. Typical more or less 11 year cycle.

Ya gotta love it..........."Death Ridge!!!!"
I always thought it was called a "Bermuda High". No major breaking news here, it happens every Summer.

Actually, we could use a longer stretch of some dry weather. The freaking rain for the past year is killing business.

Wish about ten of those degrees would be dropped on the Pacific Northwest and upper Plains. It's been icky. Yesterday was the first time it felt like late spring.

So some local experts were chewing the fat in the Hope Alaska cafe some years ago, arguing whether the winter was warmer, colder, or whatever, than”normal”. The old boy sitting off in the corner finally chimed in with “Boys, I’ve been here nearly 40 years, and I can tell you this is the first normal winter we have ever had!” Works for me.

It seems to be obvious, bit if they are breaking 100-year old heat records it means it was that hot 100 years ago... Just sayin'... And coincidentally we have only been keeping weather records since the 1800’s. Go figure...

And my timing is perfect, as usual. A/C quit at home last night. Gonna fire up the portable A/C unit to keep the bedroom cool until I get it looked at. Have a feeling another compressor went TU. 2nd one in 5 years in a 5 year old system...........
