87 degrees today in Portland Oregon. This is April 7th, not the middle of August.

[litlbilly]

this is just nuts. April 7 and 87 degrees. I think we are already screwed and we are seeing results from what we have done for the past 10 years at least, and, I don't think we can fix this. Trees are not supposed to be full bloom till the middle of may, they are full bloom now. All I can say is wholly shit.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

1. Climate change and the sixth global mass-extinction event is happening now

and $hillary thinks that isis is the greatest threat we face

[eilen]

2. It snowed yesterday in Syracuse.

Second Winter.

[litlbilly]

11. No kidding. Im not sure what the odds are of dying from a terrorist attack, but I think we

have a better chance of being struck by lightening. I just hope its not too late to fix the only planet we have. Well, the planet will survive no matter what we do to it, we just wont be here to see it.

3. Weather is not Climate

Or so I'm told by very important meteorologists. It's just an(other) anomaly. Enjoy it! After this rainy AF winter, we deserve sun and warmth.

[HuckleB]

8. The Winter was pretty typical, really, for the old days, anyway.

[litlbilly]

9. No but wild weather is related. When its hotter in Anchorage Alaska than Miami Fla, something is

wrong. The earth is trying to shake us the fuck off, and, it just might succeed.

[whatthehey]

24. Which is true

Saturday night will be below freezing in NC. Unsettled weather due to AGW works in both directions.

[Lithos]

4. Hotter than Austin Texas...

we only got to about 83 today... Though we've already been up to the mid 90's.

Going to be a hot one this year.

[litlbilly]

12. I dont think it is an anomaly, (sp) its just gonna be the norm for awhile. Where weather doesnt

make any logical sense.

[Lithos]

16. For truth...

I just hope we'll not have another major drought this year... Not sure I'll get my wish...

L-

[litlbilly]

17. weve had tons and tons of rain this year so thats not the problem. It will be tho when fire season

comes around. All that underbrush will be huge with all the rain. I hope California gets more rain. I think it will take like 10 years for the aquifers to replenish tho so they will be in drought for awhile.

[Lithos]

18. California is over populated

They can buy time by restricting agricultural use - moving to brown water. That won't play well though with the vineyards, and interior farmers. Until they can figure out economical desalination, it's going to be a perpetual tension with drought a fact...

L-

[litlbilly]

20. that might be why more people are moving to Oregon than any other place. Im sure legal weed

doesn't hurt the migration

[Lithos]

25. Californians are moving everywhere

Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Texas...

Not going to complain as they are helping turn the states Blue...

[grasswire]

5. Lilacs are in full bloom.

Lilacs usually bloom on Mother's Day here.

Daffodils and tulips are past their prime in bloom. Almost done.

[HuckleB]

6. It does suck, and the earth is clearly warming.

Saturday looks nice, though, so I'm going to enjoy that!

[BeyondGeography]

7. I'm in Montreal

Le rechauffement is hiding this week. Can't believe they used to play baseball in this weather here.

[Purveyor]

10. 32 degrees now, 20 tonight with 1-3" snow. Lower-mid michigan.

Enough already!!!

[litlbilly]

13. Sure is strange indeed.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Could be, it's that huge stationary high parked in the north east Pacific ocean.....

that's causing your unusual weather. Until it moves on, enjoy it for what it is.

[litlbilly]

15. I moved here 27 years ago for the rain and the mild weather. Oh well. In 2 days, it will be back

to the mid 60s so there's that. We beat the record today by 9 degrees. Even the squirrels on my porch are wondering what the hell is going on. Lying flat on their bellies eating peanuts.

[bkkyosemite]

19. Yep at the other end of Or in Medford it's 87 degrees too.

[gratuitous]

21. Wore my rain gear Monday

Last two days have been high summer riding kit. Give me some time to acclimate, fer goshsakes!

Earliest 85 degree day ever in Portland.

[litlbilly]

22. 87 here in Beaverton. We are always 2 degrees warmer than portland for some reason

[litlbilly]

23. plus, the record for this day was 78 back in 77. We beat it by 9 degrees. not a good record.

[Joe the Revelator]

26. And its in the 40's in VA this weekend. Weather is not Climate change. nt

[litlbilly]

31. true, but climate change does make the weather swing wildly in all directions. the jet stream is

all over the place and its only gonna get worse. We have the huge cold blob in the north atlantic, and to me, its gonna change the conveyor belt that keeps the UK and northern Europe warm. Sort of like the movie, the day after tomorrow, only its a little slower.
I had to study meteorology as a pilot so I know a little bit about weather patterns and what we're seeing is going to get worse from here on out. Right now, really severe droughts in southern Africa way worse than anything we've seen. The southwest US isn't going to recover from droughts there for a long time if ever. Starting to think about moving further north I guess. think Ill watch The Martian again as see if maybe we could actually move there

[Trajan]

27. It was an outlier ... A quick spike ...

A large spike, bit it will be back to the 50's in a day or two ...

Don't like the weather? ... Wait five minutes ....

(Portland humor)

[davidpdx]

28. I'm from Portland, but live overseas

One of my Facebook friends just mentioned how hot it was there. I will be there in late June and early July. I hope to hell it isn't hot then!

[MissB]

35. It will probably rain for you

Hard to say really. It was a hot dry summer last year. We've had plenty of rain this spring - just several spells of sunny weather too. This current streak is just weirdly warm. I think it's only supposed to be 82 today.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

29. We're pushing 90s here in N. Texas and everything has budded/bloomed early,

...weeks early in some cases. I saw trees budding in late February.

That's climate, not weather.

[Pastiche423]

30. 85 degrees on the southern Oregon Coast

where we think hot is 60 degrees.

But I did find out that my car has an excellent air conditioner. (Never had to use it before.)

[bemildred]

32. Welcome to Greater Los Angeles. nt

[Odin2005]

33. 22 degrees here in Fargo.

You guys are in the ridge, we are stuck in the trough.

[HughBeaumont]

34. Snowed in Ohio overnight, and we're supposed to get an inch or two this weekend.

Weather extremes are everywhere, but it's nice to know warm weather is on the way . . . . . . eventually . . . .
