I just noticed that there is an unusual amount of birds outside, chirping

Is that a sign of an early spring?

I think the robins in my yard last month was another sign! The goldfinch
haven't changed colors yet, so summer's not here.
Can we assign blame to your for todays storm rolling through the
mid-atlantic?

This is unreal! I got up at 7am to find about 1/4 inch of sleet on the
ground. Now we've got almost five inches of snow. What a surprise!

I had to make an emergency trip to the store to get the fixin's for chili.

Is Al Gore speaking on Global Warming anywhere near your house?- Hide quoted text -

Key word, thermohaline currents.

Rush Limbaugh and a few others have been hooting and scratching every
time there's been a blast of cold weather this winter, rushing to
denounce any evidence of climate change. In fact, the diminishing ice
at the poles disrupts some of the currents that have moderated winter
weather throughout much of the northern hemisphere throughout the
realatively brief instant when there has been human civilization on
this planet. Severe winters are part of a global warming scenario,
offset by more extreme summers. It's the average temeprature, not the
daily temperature, that's important.

Ramifications for boaters: climate change, (whether man-made or not),
will alter the nature of fish in various waters, possibly decrease the
number of fish in some, change the types of sea life we observe when
boating, make the water warm enough to swim in previously frigid
areas, and generally have a profound impact on the entire aquatic
ecosystem. If climate change continues at its present pace, our
grandkids will be experiencing vastly different boating conditions
than we do now. And of course there's Florida, a major boating center
in the US- under some models a lot of Florida will simply disappear.
