I have a friend who has lived in Alaska for 25 years. She says the winters have gotten waaaay warmer than they were when she first moved there. Also, the summers used to be very cold and rainy, but have improved drastically in terms of temps and sun. You would never be able to convince her that global warming does not exist, she has seen it first hand.
That said, this was the coldest summer on record in Alaksa - and the Farmer's Almanac predicts a much colder than normal winter for many areas. I agree that the hole in the ozone has caused much more drastic weather - more intense storms, more odd weather occurrences. Just think about the 3 devastating hurricanes that have hit in approximately the same place, LA and TX in the past 3 years (Katrina, Rita, Ike). That is very unusual - an area usually goes many many years between such devastating storms.

As I read all of your posts...I thought to myself...I don't know a whole lot about this subject, but hey...it's weather. It's been really nice here the last few weeks. Oh we've had some heat...cool at night...yesterday rain...today a bit cooler, but suppose to be a beautiful weekend...
Don't know much about the ozone, but I hope it stays away from Indiana.....lol.

The weather has been weird for a few years anyway. We've had so much rain this summer that the crops are actually hurt from too much moisture and not enough sunshine. On the other hand, we seem to be having a wonderful fall!!!

I'm sorry to hear that you've had too much rain - they've had too much at our farm in Oklahoma too! Now, here in central Texas we've not had any rain in soooooo long. We did have some night before last, but that was the first rain in many many weeks!!!

Our alamanac is predicting another winter like '78. I wasn't around, but I guess in '78 our area had massive blizzards & snow ins. I haven't seen snow like that since I was a kid. I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not.
