    Brrr! Its Snowing!

    Whatever happened to the myth of global warming.
    We had a frost here last night and now its almost lunchtime and although the temperature has got slightly above freezing, its snowing outside. Although the Highlands get lots of snow its unusual to see it this far south this late in the spring and there are still some deep patches of winter snow on the surrounding hills. Those daffodils which used to bloom in March are only now flowering, and I still need my heating on in the house. Come on its May, its Highland Games season, why isn't the weather warming up?

    We had a frost warning here in Southern New England the past few evenings...but for the past couple weeks it's been in the 80's (F) and sunny. I prefer to use the phrase "global climate change" as opposed to "global warming". But I don't mean to open that can of worms. As we say around here, "Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes!"

    Upper Wisconsin had 5" of snow. Here in PA, we have no snow, but it's cold and the wind is kicking up like crazy...going on three days now. I'm tired of severe wind. Enough already!

    In Eastern Ontario we've now had more snow in May than we did in March. Enough about global warming, let us return to the big scare of previous decades, The Coming (AKA, The Returning) Ice Age!

    We're in for cooling temps, rain and then snow tomorrow. It is supposed to be 6-10" and, they say, melting all day.

    Lets stay away from Global Warming guys. That one is a political hot button (and one of MY personal ones).

    Lets just go with the weather has been rather odd this year.

    Here in Northern Virginia it's cool and rainy. Better than 90+ F I suppose which we had last week.

    As a scientist, I really have to point out that global warming may have become a political hot button, but it is fundamentally an area for scientific invenstigation, not political debate.

    The frost-free date for Pennsylvania is usually May 31, and we're not there yet. It sure is cold though! I love it - good for working outside, good for wearing kilts!

    Spent last Saturday evening at a private party on board the Midway in San Diego harbor. Clear skies and shirtsleeve weather at 9:30 p.m. for the fireworks show, but this morning our heater kicked on for the first time in nearly a month!

    The last few days around here have actually been nice & somewhat warm....I heard we might actually hit 70 today!!

    The down side is my "allergies" started acting up big time today too (even though the tests the doc's ran say I do not have any!?)
