[RANT] COLD! in Connecticut Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22450641 en Sun, 29 Nov 2009 12:38:11 EDT Sun, 29 Nov 2009 12:38:11 EDT Re: [RANT] COLD! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22623204 tito : According to the Almanac (which I read, but really don't believe), we are getting hit the end of August. We shall see if that's so!

It certainly would not surprise me, though. This has been a crazy year for weather. Also, we are long overdue for one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22623204 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 09:13:33 EDT Re: [RANT] COLD! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621942 signmeuptoo : Though sometimes hurricanes bring badly needed rain and/or renew things.

Hurricanes are a mechanical relief valve for the heat of the sea. They do wreak havoc, I been through a few. I was watching the deadliest catch and how a Japanese typhoon system caused death and misery.

I always worry when one gets near my woman's island.

That would be great if one day they can destroy those before they hit land.

I am beginning to think that's the only way we're going to get rid of this one.

If they did, then maybe they could destroy winter storms & we wouldn't have them anymore! :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22618612 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:39:57 EDT Re: [RANT] COLD! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22618003 signmeuptoo : Is it still rainy up there? One of my siblings said it has been super rainy.

It's reaching the mid 90's now here. I'd love it if it were warm enough to swim when I come up there, but not as hot as here.

I understand how it feels to get sick and tired of Winter weather, but now that I've had the opposite, I appreciate Winter better. There is just this mystical feeling that comes from a mildly windy, snowy late night out in the forests of New England.

Counter-example- last winter. Neither warm, nor dry. In fact the whole "global warming" theory was fake and data was corrected. Is there a climate change? Maybe.. parts of the world that were cooler are now warmer and parts that were warmer are now cooler. Let's not forget that there was a mini ice-age only 200 years ago, are we comparing to that anomaly to determine that the current state is an anomaly? Throughout the ages the temperatures have experienced a way higher swing due to natural causes, so looking at a 50-100yrs slice when the cycles are 100,000yrs is insignificant.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22559162 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:29:56 EDT Re: [RANT] COLD! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22558207 pleekmo :

Climate changes affect different areas of the world differently.

Contemplating this some time ago I have concluded that perhaps "global warming" may have changed Connnecticut's average climate to one with cooler, more rainy summers and warmer, drier winters.
So a cooling Connecticut climate would prove global warming to you?
Note bolded, please.

While not wishing to get into a debate on the veracity of scientific claims of anthropogenic global warming, climatological changes affect different areas differently due to local conditions. While the net effect of a change may be the same in nearly all areas, there will be local variations upon that net change.

Here in Connecticut, summers now seem cooler and wetter than in my youth while winters appear to be warmer and drier.

I have spent most of my life in the South though I am from CT. As I write this it is nearly 90 degrees in my bedroom, I have no AC and just got a fan. Summer hasn't even started yet. I don't like it, it is oppressive. Cold you can dress warm for, but hot you can't shed for.

I am going to have to move my poor sweet guinea pig out of my room soon, and into my roomate's room which is 10 degrees cooler in the afternoon. She's very old and may not live much longer and I don't know if she is going to survive this hot summer coming. I dread summer every year.

If you can afford AC it is fine, but I can't afford AC.

June 2nd, at 7:30PM and it is sweltering in my room.

Not just cold but windy. I cannot remember May when the wind seemed to blow all day long. Today the tree here in Southbury whipped around constantly. 39 degrees and holding.....

You are correct, it is almost June and we have March or very early April temps. Connecticut is too cool this year.
If I were mystical, I would say it's because my wife's parents arrived here at the beginning of May, from the sunny, hot Philippines. It's been chilly and rainy ever since they got here.
