Here in SE Minnesota/West Central Wisconsin the WX has been odd. Last Tuesday (and monday or wednesay), we had record (breaking 100+ year old record) heat. Got over 90 degrees F. Today (Sunday) we got snow. And not just a few flakes. Enough to stick, despite the warm ground. Thats an extereme example, but the past month has been very random. Very warm one day, cold the next, then rain, then warm, then snow, then fog, then nice. etc. Brian M IP: Logged |

It's been crazy here too. The winter was extrordinarily mild, more rain than snow and no bad storms, and last week it was in the 90's. Normally we still have snow on the ground in April. Oh and we had an earthquake Saturday morning, but I'm not sure if that counts as *weather* exactly. ------------------ IP: Logged |

What's really messed up is that here in Utah, While Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio were experiencing record breaking heat, we got a deluge of snow. Ick. It's april. I'll deal with rain, but snow sucks. Had snow friday and all saturday too. Then Sunday it warmed up to the 60s again. Which is good, because then I had warm weather to walk around in when the car broke down. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Well, last week we had a heat wave, and now it's raining and in the 40s. At least I believe I did make the intelligent choice to wear a long sleeve shirt today - I fall into general patterns of what I wear, and don't like having to routinely adapt, resulting in me wearing a long sleeve shirt on a 70 degree day, or t-shirt on a 30-45 degree day.

you story sounds greatly familer. Around here, it can be hot one day, and snowing the next. The snow never ever sticks here, just to taunt us and bring the city to a stand still. It is fun watching such weird weather though. Glad you could experence it. nayt ------------------ IP: Logged |

Umm.. welcome to Colorado? Year round it's like that.. Had 80's on friday, got below 30 and snowed on saturday, and back up in the 60's on Sunday. Luckily I brought my Drammine or this roller-coaster weather ride would have me quite sick. IP: Logged |

We here in WI are used to it, I would have thought that MN would be too. Weather changes faster than a "norm" can change their opion about stuff they know nothin' about. :P No offence to norms though. IP: Logged |

GM, my OP did mention Wisconsin, since that is where the National WX service office is an the source of the oficial temps. (by the way, we got 4.5 inches of snow on Sunday-tho most didnt stick) I work in WI and live just across the border. (LaCrosse/LaCrescent) I am used to sudden WX changes but this was even more extreme than "usual" (IMHO). I mean you dont go warmer than 100+ year temp record every day (then get > 4 inches of snow less than a week later) where abouts are you GM? Brian IP: Logged |

The weather here is odd as well this year. We have been haveing abnormaly high winds. Usualy we get about 45-50 MPH regularly this time of year but lately we been getting 70-80. Fun stuff cause when the wind is getting that strong it will pick up small rocks and fling the through the air over the tops of hills and it wreaks havok on my cars paint job. Ohhh well been thinking about getting it repainted anyway because it has that dumb early 90s chevy paint that just falls off. Other that than it has been more rainy than usual. We have gotten about 2 times more rain and snow that usual. Which is nice because the grain needs the moisture with all this wind. BTW I live in SE Idaho in a little Micro Climate that is kinda fun.

Doggone MN has had clement winters for years now. It is global warming finally being felt by the general public. You guys catch the note on Eskimos and their Russian cousins having an awfully bad time with melting permafrost, and the lack of food that follows. The weather in their areas haven't acted like this as far back as their history goes. And now stupid Bush wants to drill more oil out of Alaska. Alternative fuels have been kept under by conspiracies for decades, and this is the result. ------------------ IP: Logged |
