Does It Seem Like The US Weather Is Getting More Extreme Every Year.

The latest rounds of flooding and tornadoes seem early and more intense. The old adage "when it rains it pours" seems like almost every time. Except it pours and pours and pours.

Higher than average snowfall that seemed to mostly happen in a relatively short period of time. And now. all of the snow is gone, there's a whole lot of flooding going on, and the 2nd 10-day forecast, in a row, is calling for for unseasonably warm temperatures.

That being said, my gut feeling is that we will be smashed by another massive snowfall, before the end of March. I sure hope I'm wrong. I'd love an early, warm Spring.

But we have always had extreme weather. The Galveston Hurricane. Read "The Children's Blizzard." Truly bizarre weather.

Have you not heard of global warming / climate change?

From h.s. chem class: add heat and it speeds up and accelerates the results.
