cageyJG Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Freaking cold but no snow... (low: 26 F, just below freezing) and I was just watching this t.v. special with people in Scandinavia driving to McDonald's in snowmobiles - I couldn't believe it. I was shivering just watching.

Administrators timm525 Posted January 3, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 We got freeze warnings in effect for all this week in my area at night. The news said today it is 20* below the average for this time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agent 47 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 So where's this global warming we speak of?!What global-freaking-warming?!Al Gore hallucinates Global Warming, he then threw that stuff the Scarecrow had in Batman Begins in peoples faces to force them to believe it.But seriously, if it gets any colder, I'm going to create the largest Carbon footprint as possible to get this Global Warming going, worry about the after-effect later.

jpaul1 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 in december while i was working outside once i had to work in T-shirt as it was too hot . in France normally december is with January and february one of the coldest monthes (snow,cold rain ..) . few monthes ago we had two hailstorm in one week , don't know about the global warming but the more we go on the more i think something is going wrong with the weather :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neworder Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 don't know about the global warming but the more we go on the more i think something is going wrong with the weather :confused:El Nino is in full effect at the moment and therefore is probably the cause of all the unseasonal weather. Ive always associated El Nino with warmer winters in the UK but that theory has gone straight out the window this year. However, scientists say El Nino creates more severe weather and I suppose the heavy snow and well below average temps in the UK and the USA for that matter can be classed as Severe weather. For Florida one trend that I've noticed (due to my near miss in 1998) during El Nino years is increased Tornado activity and more severe weather across central Florida during winter months. Case Studies - 1998/2007 central Florida tornado outbreaks, both a lot more severe than traditional floridian tornado's. I remeber the 1998 event well, staying in Disney World and two supercells, one 8 miles to the north west and one 8 miles south east of Disney spawned F3 tornado's ... that night was horrific, flooding, high winds, etc etc, been kind of obsessed with Tornado's ever since ...So perhaps watch out central floridians this winter, the fact that cold weather is pentrating florida at the moment is a sure sign of possible tornado's as temps rise in a month as the increased frequency of cold fronts hitting the normal warm Florida air will spawn these severe storms ... during non- El Nino years, Florida won't get as many severe cold fronts coming across.

Me being a Floridian, and I'm not even that knowledgable on all this.... and apparently, neither are the weathermen & women from the newscast that I watch.I know that I wanted a bit of a cool change from the excessive heat we had during the summer months, but this is out-of- bounds. I am freezing:freeze: & want my summer heat back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Ya this period may go down as the longest stretch of cold weather in Florida history. Its in the 30s at night and the 50s in the daytime. If it doesn't warm up soon I will move further South where the weather is warm, the drinks are cold etc etc. Not to Key West however. Instead of dropping a crystal ball at midnight on 31 December, like they did in Times Square, they dropped a drag queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neworder Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah Orlando may even get colder than York UK tonight, with -2C forecasted for Orlando and -1C in York ... having said that, by day ... we've just had 5 inches of snow dumped on us ... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neworder Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Ok it seems El Nino isn't really to blame (apologies lol), rather the Arctic Oscillation being more negative than it has been since well ... records began in 1950. This will explain plus there is a nice graph at the top. http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/04/polar-pressure-pattern-driving-chill-nearly-off-chart/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Holy cow! Even Miami is cold right now!!! High of 57° today, 58° Sat and Sun.

Administrators timm525 Posted January 6, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 All we need right now is a major brown out in Florida and the death toll will skyrocket here amongst the elderly.Most of us in Florida have no supplemental heat without our AC system to provide it. No electricity, no heat! :eek:Thankfully I have a fireplace that is going non stop and I have a lot of wood to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted January 6, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'd like to see Al Gore visit New Jersey right now and try to preach his global warming crap! He'd freeze his @$$ off! Mid 20's to freezing during the day and low 20's to teens at night! Practically a heat wave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'd like to see Al Gore visit New Jersey right now and try to preach his global warming crap! He'd freeze his @$$ off! Mid 20's to freezing during the day and low 20's to teens at night! Practically a heat wave! Man made global warming is a fraud.Al Gore won an academy award for his movie on the subject. He's becoming weathy off this. His "carbon footprint" is larger than if you lived 1000 years with his jets, convoy of cars, and massive home.Like Crockett said in the episode SCORE, "Don't buy into this".
