some early predictions for the coming winter have a repeat of '14. I'd try to lay in extra fuel just in case. great thing about dry wood, it doesn't go bad.
 
Need to cap all the hot gas coming from DC. Major growth of ice at Antarctica too! We've only used the AC for about 8 hours this year and more for humidity control.
 
bring it. haven't closed the Enviro yet (yes i have been lazy and working on the Jeep are my excuses).

We usually have the AC units in the windows in the middle of April, I absolutely hate a hot house. This year we have not even installed them, and only a couple of days have been over 72 in the house.

They just keep making up new terms. Oh, wait...

"The polar vortex was first described as early as 1853. The phenomenon's sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) appears during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere and was discovered in 1952 with radiosonde observations at altitudes higher than 20 km."
 
I hope it ends/diminishes by Saturday. Have a cabin in the UP rented for the week with the entire family gathering. Lake MI is never exactly warm per se especially up there but I really don't want a below 50 degree lake, but that may be what we are looking at sadly.

Here, just for you:

...and, if the lake is 50, perhaps you should be thankful.
(I think it'll probably be nice enough. Enjoy your vacation.)
 
They showed people floating on ice chunks at Duluth around Memorial Day this year. Second latest shipping through the Great lakes if I recall right.
 
The NWS says some of the weather dudes blew it calling it a vortex. Doesn't meet the criteria for one.

As they head for the thermostat to turn up the heat and wonder how to explain the increases in polar ice :)

Now if we can explain why the Arctic ice continues to melt at unheard of rates while Antarctic sea ice, not the ice on Antarctica, is increasing this year.

Nah, no climate change going on.

Methinks you are a Brietbart reader. >>

only since 1979. look to pdo an amo. antarctic at all time record in 2014 now starting seasonal wane. thank god(if you wish they are not in concert). where are we if they both were at record highs. they have been there in the past. they have also been at record lows together in the past. we might also thank someone for the much smaller area in the artic, surrounded by land.. the climate change aint today, tomorrow or yesterday , it's all of them.can't remember the last time I visited breitbart, not in my favs. he's dead, last I heard? photo from yahoo search ,happens to come from wuwt
 
And ya ain't paying much attention to who I replied to. Have another one for me. ;lol

At least in the few minutes before I close this one.
 
cold comes from the poles and always will , warmth from the tropics, storm distribute it. not from co2. all this has happened before and will again. just as early man has always chosen temperate areas to live , not in deserts. man made climates will fail, natures climate is ever changing. best example may be the petrified forest?
