What an odd winter

[ChasingBlueSky 0]

A week ago it took me nearly four hours to get home as 9.5 inches of snow hit the city.

Today it is 65F and we woke up to visibility less than a mile due to the fog from the melting snow (which was gone by lunch time). I drove to work with the windows and sunroof open.

It's supposed to snow again tomorrow.

Saturday it will be about 10F during the day with lows near 0F.

Very odd.

Increasingly wide temperature swings are part of the predictions of global warming.

Should be a fun ride.

My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

I woke up to about a foot of snow here. Took me an hour to get to work, which most times it only takes me about 20 mins.

The drive home from work today was back to my normal 20 mins. since all the snow has melted already.

It was 65 here in Columbus too...we actually slept with the window open last night and didn't even get cold! Today I took my rollerblades out and spent part of the day outside in a tshirt and jeans and actually got hot!

Tomorrow its supose to be around 60....then down to the 20's again on Friday and possibly snow

Suposed to be 65 here tomarrow as well. Then in the teens after Friday. I wouldn't mind some snow, I've yet to even get the snowmobile out of the barn this year.

I got out for a couple 3-4 hour rides...but this weather bites...even the lake has soft spots on it

but I still ran it this past weekend

Soft spots, hell we've got open water from shore to shore.

Last year by this time I had put almost 500mi. on the sled.

Yesterday, a guy in a black, hairy gorilla suit did a tandem with a Finnish girl in a one-piece pink bathing suit. No pics, but the landing was quite funny looking.

It is still cool enough to drive with open windows and no air-conditioning.

It's supposed to drop down into the 20's here in Fayetteville/Raeford this weekend, but I did a tandem today at two in the afternoon and it was nearly 70 outside; nice. It's been the warmest season on record here.

we had -17.5 C (about 0 F) yesterday, today is supposed to get up to 8 C (47 F). tomorrow is supposed to be warmer, then back to the minus double digits by the end of the weekend.

it's not a weird as the chinooks around calgary, but it's still weird.

Looks like this is going to be a trend this year. After it dropped down to subzero temps, it went back up to the low 30s and dropped all that snow (over 13 inches) and was back up to nearly 50F two days later (not wearing a coat was nice). The very next day? Freezing and two more inches of snow.

This is the oddest winter I can recall. Is it global warming, el nino or just one of those things?
