Global Warming.....How is affecting the weather in your area?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. mari61960 (3313) 6 years ago

We hear about Global Warming all the time. I suspect not too many people concern themselves with it...That's probably half the problem..lol
I live in Massachusetts, a New England state in the USA. The usual weather for this area is Hot in the summer, Cool in the spring, Snow and cold in the winter and in the Fall warm and cool days with cooler evenings.
Well here it is Jan 5th. We have not had more than 1/2 an inch of snow so far this winter. Today it is 63 degrees, where it should be in the 30's. This weekend they are predicting 66 degrees on Saturday...should I get ready for a visit to the beach or what.
This is so crazy, what are we going to do? Do you do anything to help?

This is a picture of my back yard last year on New Years Day....Snow...this year...Hmmm the cherry blossoms are blooming in Wa.DC..ugggghh

I think Global Warming is affecting all of us. I used to live in Louisiana last year till the hurricanes forced me to move. I remember hearing on a news report that they thought Global Warming had something to do with the size and strength of these monster storms. Well, I moved to Albuquerque five months ago. It has already flooded here which doesn't happen very often and I got fifteen inches of snow last week and I'm expecting another four inches today.My neighbors said the last time they saw this much snow was in 1971. Weather certainly has been acting crazier with each passing year.


myLot reputation of 92/100. mari61960 (3313)  6 years ago

It is crazy isn't it? I figure all of a sudden we will be dumped on like Denver, USA. I hope not...a little snow can go a long way..lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. enchantedemerald (397)  6 years ago

The snow here hasn't even started to really melt yet. I think it will take Denver some time to really dig out because they really had it bad. They did some sort of a survey here and 95% of the residents don't even own a snow shovel. I had to use a plastic dust pan to make a path to my car!

global warming is a sucky thing tha tis occuring and not man y people care about. but something i think you have confused is that this unusually warm weather this year is due to el nino not global warming.... global warming has changed wether about half a degree not 30

I've noticed the seasons changing more and more as the years pass...it's pretty scary actually! I live in Ontario, Canada and normally this time of year we are experiencing road closures from the blizzards and heaps of snow....not this year! I don't think we have had snow last for more than a day and we've only seen traces of snow once or twice...this past Christmas was the first I can remember in my 21 years of living. As for the weather we are having right this minute, it's raining out and reminds me a lot of spring showers. As for what can be done about this situation, I really have no idea other than walking more than driving and using energy efficent appliances.


myLot reputation of 92/100. mari61960 (3313)  6 years ago

Watch though all of a sudden we will all get dumped with big snow...lol
Then we will all regret complaining about it...hehehe. I can't wait.

I live in Toronto. We haven't had snow yet this year. Normally we've had at least one decent-sized blizzard by now.

It's freaking me right out. The bugs next summer are going to be murder.


myLot reputation of 92/100. mari61960 (3313)  6 years ago

This summer ??? I just went outside and had to fight about 50 moths just to get in the door...lol It is 10pm right now and 58 degrees.....WIERD

I live in Australia in New South Wales in the western part of the state i have lived here for 25yrs and over the time the climate has changed so much our winters are not cold any more we are lucky yo even get a frost in winter where before we would have weeks of heavy frost still on the grass by lunch time not only a few days did we even pull on a jumper and the summer season we were sure to get a big storm every few days well we have had only minimal rain in the past few years it`s definately become warmer and dryer

We still have not gotten any snow. It has been in the 50's all week. We are usually buried in snow and really cold. This summer was not as hot as it normally gets either. The average was in the low 80's. It is usually high 80's or in 90's. It is crazy. We live in Ohio.

Marie, I like your back yard, very nice...
I am in Chicago. Chicago has hot summer and very cold winter and wind is always making it worst(Windy City).
Yesterday and today it was 55 degres.
On one hand it makes me happy (saving on heat), but on the other hand...is worst coming?


myLot reputation of 92/100. mari61960 (3313)  6 years ago

Thanks, I know what you mean...I'm getting a little concerned about these strange weather patterns.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kgwat70 (10233)  6 years ago

It is very warm here in Delaware right now for January. It is in the 70 degree range which is more like spring though winter just started here. We usually have flurries and much colder weather here right now but it is warm and people are wearing shorts and tshirts.

What can you do but enjoy it while it lasts? I am not a total believer in the causes of global warming but I have cut my driving down a lot. I don't know what else to do. But I still think that this warming period could be a natural occurance and just part of a cycle. Here in Michigan, we haven't had any real snow and temps in the mid 40s to mid 50s. Wow, I will take 66 degrees any time of the year. Who knows, you might be cutting grass by the end of the month...Last time I was in Massachusetts, there was a foot of snow or more..in 1999. Like your state a lot...rustic and woodsy.


myLot reputation of 92/100. mari61960 (3313)  6 years ago

I agree, I don't think it's all due to global warming. That's the part that scares me most. I think weather patterns are just changing..but dramatically. Mother Nature is not going to like this...lol

"Rustic and Woodsy" That's what I like about it too.

It's not too cold. You can wear short in the month of January.

Don't be suprise THE VENGER of Winter Might come back in Late Spring.
