Weather Signs

Since the old thread "died" I will start a new Weather Signs" thread to track all that is going on in the world these days.

This thread is fashioned after the EARTHQUAKE SIGNS, the PESTILENCE SIGNS, VOLCANO SIGNS, threads that continue to track news as it occurs.

"Oddball" Weather Events Add to Record-Breaking 2007
Seth Borenstein in Washington Associated Press

January 2, 2008
Last year, the heat turned on and the weather just got weirder.

January 2007 was the warmest first month on record worldwide—1.53 degrees Fahrenheit (0.85 degrees Celsius) above normal. It was the first time since record-keeping began in 1880 that the globe's average temperature has been so far above the norm for any month of the year.

2007 to Be Warmest Year on Record, Forecasters Say (January 4, 2007)
And as 2007 drew to a close, it was also shaping up to be the hottest year on record in the Northern Hemisphere.

U.S. weather stations broke or tied 263 all-time high temperature records, according to an Associated Press analysis of U.S. weather data. England had the warmest April in 348 years of record-keeping there, shattering the record set in 1865 by more than 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit (0.6 degrees Celsius).

"Oddball" Weather

It wasn't just the temperature. There were other oddball weather events. A tornado struck New York City in August, inspiring the tabloid headline: "This ain't Kansas!"

In the Middle East, an equally rare cyclone spun up in June, hitting Oman and Iran.

Major U.S. lakes shrank, and Atlanta worried about its drinking water supply.

South Africa got its first significant snowfall in 25 years. And on Reunion Island, 400 miles (645 kilometers) east of Africa, nearly 155 inches (4 meters) of rain fell in three days—a world record for the most rain in 72 hours.

As a midwesterner, I can remember as a school aged child, it was just a regular thing that the snow went up to the top of the washlines(remember washlines?)and I also remember talking with my father who remembered it being common that they had to climb out their 2nd story windows there was so much snow! Now we have only had a couple in 20 years like that!:thinking:thinking:thinking
(not up to 2nd story, Ive never seen that:shocked)

I was talking about this very thing too with someone. There was hardly ever times snow was not on the ground for sledding & what not & the summers more dangerous to the human skin. The verse comes to mind from the Bible, Man fearing the sun for it burned the skin & wished for shorter days. I think im close?? I always think of that. :nod

I live in Ohio and I remember when snow was on the ground from Thanksgiving until sometime in March. Now we seem to get much less precipitation in the winter even though it's still cold.

:hot We are having a heat wave...Very unusual.....So hot the city decided to have a baked potato fest...Just pull one out of the ground, they are already baked, just add salt and pepper.
Farmers around here are feeding the chickens crushed ice so they don't lay boiled eggs.

If you stand out in the woods and listen very closely you can hear the trees wistling for the dogs....:aha

Did anyone else hear about the 4 tornadoes in the Denver area since yesterday? I can't remeber where I heard this this morning, on the Today show maybe. I thought how ironic!
