In chilling detail
"Rain and snow this evening. A snow shower or two overnight"That's tonight's Yahoo weather forecast for Ann Arbor. And this is only October! Where's my global warming? I realize weather is not climate, but I'm not all that cheered up by this chart:
Moreover, I see that Ann Arbor is not alone. In fact, tonight's weather is a result of an unseasonably cold "Noreaster" in combination with the "Lake Effect". This chilling chart explains:
I just took a dog walk, and at 33 degrees, it's too cold for comfort. Coco agrees. Winter is still nearly two months away. I wish I could vote for warmer weather, but I'm afraid that's a fantasy. There's nothing that can be done. posted by Eric on 10.28.08 at 10:58 AM

Your temperature graph looks exactly like a hockeey stick! Just like the Global Warming Conspiracy-mongers said it would! Only your hockey stick is pointing down, toward cold. Rhodium Heart · October 28, 2008 02:30 PM Eric, while I agree with you in general your chart is not right, the average has to end before the period being covered or you over state the recent cooling. Steph · October 28, 2008 03:10 PM Just another weather anecdote, I guess, but it's going down to the high-30s tonight, here in SW Florida. Having had snot hanging down like icicles, having shoveled snow higher than me, I moved to Florida for a reason. The cold temperatures have me in long sleeves and sock, out of shorts, and wearing a sweater. I've got the fricking heat on, something I had for only three nights last January and February. How about a little more warming, please... John Burgess · October 29, 2008 12:06 AM Post a comment

You Wuss...its not cold till you have icicles (or snotcicles) hanging off your beard...and your nose sticks together. Ann Arbor can get a bit chilly in Jan and Feb....but not actually cold.
