Look what we woke up to this morning! Day 3 pics added!

[auntie]

we have 3" and it was 24 last night - 27 now. Too early. Forecast calls for snow off and on for the next 10 days and the highs will be in the low 30s and lows in the low 20s.

Guess you'll have to pack away the shorts and T-shirts you used for your Florida trip Al. Glad to see you made it safely back home ...(after that lightening scare).

Ok, this is getting old! Day 3 and remember when I said the ground was too warm for it to stick..... WRONG!!! LOL

Yesterday, I told my kids on the way to school, yes it's snowing - but it won't stick the ground is too warm! We are south of PGH, north of WVA
We woke up this morning to 2 inches on the ground and they said "Mom, you said it wouldn't stick - what happened?"

 

[Tent Camping Mom]

Nice pics! It's freaking cold here today and if it's going to be this cold...I want snow too! We are way over due for a good snow.

 

[Us3]

Global Warming ????

Exactly what Bud said when I showed him Johns pics last night!

 

[Mmketeer]

Wow great photo's....it's gonna be in the 40's with a freeze warning for my part of North Tampa area. Isn't it a bit to early to be this darn cold?!!??

two more days to get through...just two more days until I can thaw out again.

 

[lucy_love]

Great pics!

Here in Gainesville, FL we have a hard freeze warning, meaning the temp will be 27 or lower for at least 2 hours tonight

Now that's unusual for Florida in November! That means it could snow here if the conditions were right

 

[F4disneyfan]

Wow I want the weather you folks are having. We have maybe 2 inches on the ground and it is melting as fast as it comes along. It is now sunny and on the plus side of zero today so now we just have slush on the roads.

 

[ntsammy5]

and on the plus side of zero today.

Remember they use celsius ........

That's about 33

Exactly what Bud said when I showed him Johns pics last night!

I had some fool actually try to convince me that global warming was the reason we had a record cold and snowy winter last year
I told him he couldnt have it both ways......

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Like Scott said...I wouldnt want to have to deal with it for any extended period of time...but, my god.....it IS beautiful, aint it!!! Something so magical about the hope of a white Christmas...it NEVER happens here, but theres always a glimmer of hope.

 

[tungpo1]

Pretty darn cold here in Ft lauderdale, I think its in the high 70's right now LOL

 

[2goofycampers]

Exactly what Bud said when I showed him Johns pics last night!

High of 38 here today, that is January weather.

Nice pics! It's freaking cold here today and if it's going to be this cold...I want snow too! We are way over due for a good snow.

I will help and try to send it your way.

 

[4mickey2]

ignore

 

[Shan-man]

We actually had some pretty constant snowfall today in Raleigh, it was too warm for anything to stick, but it was snowing good! Had some huge clusters of flakes too, some the size of blackeyed peas.

 

[Us3]

High of 38 here today, that is January weather.

Cold here too! We're in the 20's tonight...just brought in all of the plants!

 

[2goofycampers]

It's 24 right now.

 

[F4disneyfan]

Remember they use celsius ........

That's about 33

Correct we use Celsius and centimeters and liters and metric tonnes you know real units of measure like the rest of the world LOL...

On a side note it is all of about minus 5 degrees celcius currently and it was up to about plus 7 or so today.

 

[Born 2 Fish]

We have 19 degrees this morning. No snow, just cold.

6am in central Florida, 08.11.19, 37 degrees. Places just to the north of where I am (Lakeland) have reported 32 & below! This is January weather for us, and yes, this can be attributed to global warming.

There have been several recorded "Mini Ice Ages" in the 1100's, 1400's, 1500's & 1800's all caused by gigantic pyroclastic volcano eruptions that darkened the skies globally. They lasted roughly 5-15 years each time. In the 17th century, snow fell in the New England states in May and June and wiped out all the crops. There was quite a bit of starvation and death. The Great Potato Famine in Ireland in the mid-1800's has also been attributed to sub-normal temperatures.

Today, we can attribute our freakish weather to the industrial cities in China where the air quality makes Los Angeles' smog look like squeeky clean air! The sun's penetration in Bejing is diminished by approximately 25% due to all the air pollutants - which do travel globally. In the super industrial years from Post WWII to the mid-80's we here in America experienced roller-coaster winters due to pollution. I particularly remember winters in the 1960's where snow drifts went above the roof of our house, and one storm in 1963 where we had to dig out of the front door. Those of you living in WNY can probably recall the great blizzard of 1977, and other such storms in NYC, Boston, Philly & Washington DC.

Global warming causes weather patterns to shift drastically, partly due to glacial melting. In past centuries this was caused by natural events. Today it is caused by man made events, such as gross pollution.

BTW...I'm not smart, or scientific...I just love to watch the History Channel & the Weather Channel and have always been interested in meteorology.

Here's a link to a basic explanation of previous Mini Ice Age's in Europe.
