Balmy 80 degrees here mostly year round. Spent a winter in WV after I retired from the Navy in 1993, got snowed in 5 times that winter, could not even get out of my driveway, and said the heck with it and moved back to Guam.

Don't you guys watch any news at all? Our great leader Barry The Great, his friends call him President Obama, has said that climate change, the more slippery term for global warming, is our greatest threat.  This is nothing, remember a very short time back, during the very bottom of the sun's 11 year cycle, winter was much colder and lasted much longer. Right now the sun is more or less on an upward cycle, so count on next summer being unbearably hot, at least in Florida.

- 37 yes actual temp. Not wind chill.  Yesterday morning going to work. It warmed up to 8 and sunny when I got off work. I almost took my jacket off and drove home with the windows down.
Pretty sad when 8 feels warm.
Just saying...........

To anyone perhaps remotely interested, it was plus 35f in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories today!
If I keep my level of appreciation higher than my level of expectation, I have a good day.

FL at the keys was 29* this morning but warmed nicely to mid 60's by mid afternoon. I have a friend spending FEB there and get irritating reports!

Here in TN it was -2* this AM and warmed to a balmy 23* by late afternoon.  Did you know homes here are not built to take this mess?!  

I'm finding out the hard way!  :(

Wool?  How many of you guys remember using an old coffee can with a few charcoal briquettes in your blind?
