Well world temps have been pretty steadily rising. So, maybe have the extremes. It's all about the jet stream and the fickle finger of fate.
This is a La Nina year. They are colder than normal for North America. El Nino years (last year) are warmer than average.

Chris wants y'all to turn up the heat. Just talking about the cold makes her hurt.

Ok guys, you are all officially invited to jump on a plane, fly to Maui, rent a car, condo, and meet me at Aloha Mixed Plate for Happy hour. A bonus is Led Kaapana is playing next Weds in Napoli.
Mike

Why is it colder south of us? We are 13 above. The reason it is colder to the south is because that is where the big pool of cold air that invaded us from the pole got sucked to the south. And in the void created when it got sucked south was replaced by a batch of warmer air from the northern pacific. Nothing lasts forever. The pool of cold air moved south and warmer air filled the void behind it (got sucked in by the draft). Conditions were just right for the pool of cold air to move further south than it usually does, and when it left Newfolden some of Mike's air got sucked in behind it. We will be in the 20s by this weekend. A short respite before another pool of Siberian air tries invade us.

I remember back in the early 80s when we had a sever cold spell. More than 30 days in a row here never getting above freezing. At one point the weather prognosticators were saying the polar vortex hadn't moved, but it had emptied out all the cold air off the top of the planet, and the backwash was coming in a little warmer because there wasn't any cold air left up there.
Still was below freezing. But sometimes even 20 degrees can feel like a heat wave.

Just got finished doing some outdoor work. Replaced the batteries in two of my daughters' cars. It's amazing what a difference there is between 16 degrees and sunny and zero degrees and cloudy.

I think you missed the notice. If they are old enough to have cars they are old enough to have boyfriends for that shit. And if you have them well trained they know how to say, "fix Daddy's car/house/etc."
