Not a F&*&%g chance.

I have 6' of snow covering my entire yard and another 10-12 inches on it's way this weekend. We set snowfall records 4 weeks ago and have had steady snow since.

We won't be into the 40's until April 25th according to long range forecasts.

Last year, on April 4th, I hit balls in shorts at the range.

Basically, I want to kill myself.

Dude I played golf well into December in WI the past few years and generally get a couple rounds in in march... I don't remember that being a possibility when I was a kid. Just sayin, there MIGHT be something to the global warming thing. Our weather here really isn't that out of the ordinary right now, but last year when we had a few days of 85 in march it was.

Exact opposite down here. Used to be snow and cold as crap for maybe half a month. It would normally be in the high 80s and low 90s by now. But were getting snowed on as I type this. I can not remember for the life of me it ever even being below 70 during the day this time of year

Agreed. We had one big snow storm here in VT this year. ONE, and that brought maybe 12". We had a few other little storms. When I was a kid it seemed like we had more snow and it lasted longer.

I wonder too if the tsunami a few years back messed with weather patterns? Are we in a natural warming cycle or is this man made? I don't know the answers but I don't dismiss global warming as all bull either ( I'm not saying that's what dedicatedhacker was saying either, just stating my opinion).

I'm not saying there is or isn't global warming. I've been skeptical as of lately with all the scandals surrounding the scientists falsifying data to fit their political agendas so the $$ keeps flowing in. Good example around here is that its already to late in the year to plant crops we have for decades this time of the year because its to cold. And a new report came out recently that the global temperature rising has stopped for the last 20+ years. Some scientists are saying its actually cooling. Who knows what or who to believe. Most of them are screwed with a political agenda any ways.

That's just it, for every report there is on global warming there is another one saying there isn't. Who knows?

We just had an ice storm last night (was supposed to be snow). Power outages, branches down, and just a f$%@###&*%$##n mess. I say there's global cooling. I'm 66 and I always remember as a kid we'd have heavy snow in winter but by Easter, it was warming up in 50's and 60's. Last year was warm in March, but this year is late, late, late. I'm going stir crazy.

Here's my quick take before this thread spirals out of control. Are we warmer now (on average) than we were at the beginning of recorded temps 180 years ago? sure we are. My point of contention with the AGW zealots is they feel that the human production of co2 is the sole cause of 100% of the warming when in fact we were warmer than we are now further back in time. They take little notice that we are still coming out of the little ice age. Does this mean that we can just pollute all we want? No. We should still do what we can clean it up.

My thoughts as well.
