Al Gore promised me warming and I want to hold him to it
Actually I was reading an article that stated the cause of the colder temperatures prolonging into spring here in the US was actually because of global warming. It had something to do with the weather in Greenland being warmer than usual and affecting the jetstream. Now the jetstream is bringing in the cold air from Canada over most of the US, where as before when Greenland stayed cold at this time of the year it would push the jetstream to bring in our warmer air. Hope this is not the new norm....
I too am growing very impatient. I do the cold rides, but I feel like I've been counting the days since winter started and now it's just plain unfair...with 1-3 of snow forecasted for Tuesday here in NJ. Fortunately the last few snow falls have disappeared within a few days.
