Chilling in the Midwest

[jimlup]

I'm in deep blue Michigan (Ann Arbor, etc...) and really chillling. The air temperature on my outdoor thermometer is =13.2 F right now. Not wind chill and the wind is blowing.

This is not normal folks. The jet stream has been disrupted. I know that weather happens but this has happened twice or three times in the last three years. University of Michigan is closed two days in a row and the University NEVER closes. This ain't weather. This is a fucking disrupted jet stream.

We've fucked up the Earth's climate and now we have to deal with the consequences.

God, if she exists, help us!

2. Climate Change is all about extremes.

Does your oitdoor thermometer believe it is a hoax by those evil scientists?

3. I am almost directly across from you in WI: Now -20; Windchill -36!!

Climate change produces Extreme weather---this is part of it. YES!

4. Here in NE Kansas we hit

only -2 with a wind chill of -18. Really not much more than we used to get but have not for a long time. The oddest thing for us here is this happens and is immediately followed by temps in the upper 50's for a few days. This is not normal.

I farm and work outside so this is tolerable for me but I am not trying to get to a job that requires me to look good. I look like a fat snowman and that is fine but when I think of the times I have to go somewhere not dressed for those temps I cringe. Take care all of you in the much, much, much colder area. I am just trying to figure out how Kansas is no longer the mid West. When did that happen? LOL

5. And it is going up to 50 degrees on Monday.

Bizarre.
