Has the weather/climate changed where you live?

[wiffleball 4,788]

Born and raised in Colorado. All over the place.

 

The one thing that everyone I talk to seems to agree;  it's a crapload windier that it was 20,30 years ago. 

Fort Collins was always hella windy. But they had flat plains to the east and north. 

Places like Colorado Springs were pretty fortunate seeing as how they have a long, ginormous mountain range in their front yard. 

Now?  Hella windy.  

On the bright side, the giant smog cloud / inversion is a thing of the past. Used to be you couldn't see the city of you were driving in from the burbs. 

 

Really don't want a climate change bootchfest.

Less snow. 20-30 years ago we would reliably get 4-5 major snowstorms per winter. I don’t think it snowed at all last year in Philly.

If we get a dusting here my folks in northern NJ reliably get 5-6 inches. Specially my mom.

[BiffTannen 868]

We don't get snow like we did when I was a kid here in Ohio. I like it and therefore will keep lights on for no reason and refuse to recycle. I welcome the warming of the planet.

Nothing here that can be linked to human activity. 

[lickin_starfish 1,893]

I saw my neighbor grilling burgers yesterday, and now it's not snowing today.

Coincidence?

I think not.

The weather is certainly adding to inner City Crime. Criminals don't like the cold, they tend to come out under warmer conditions. If Biden truly wants to solve inner City Crime then he should put a bubble over major Liberal Cities and pump in cold air year round. 

There, I just solved the Liberal Crimes Issue, your welcome

Nobody caught that your mom reliably gets 5-6 inches.....

I dunno, those wind farms create a lot of wind.

North Dakota. 

1.) It's gotten wetter.

It was dry here until about 1992.  In 1993....it started snowing/raining more than usual.

So many fields and places under water and covered with cattails now that used to be dry land. 

Likely just a 'stage' like I presume has repeated itself over the last 1,000 years. 

 

2.) Winter has shifted a cog.  It used to be where it would snow from like November to March.  Now it seems it's more like December to April.  Maybe the other seasons have also, but I notice winter.

[5-Points 3,389]

Nope. Still gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Rainfall and temp ranges vary from year to year but the climate hasn't changed in the 25 years we've lived here.

it went from being hot in the summer and cold in the winter to being hot in the summer and cold in the winter

 

[Gepetto 1,289]

Why would it not change? Weather has been changing every year, every decade, every century, every 1000 years, etc. Why do people act like it's ever been consistent?

[jerryskids 6,567]

It's probably getting a little warmer here during the summer, but the culprit is the every-increasing amount of roads and concrete which absorb all of the heat, not climate change.

Winters are awesome; been 70's all week, highs will get down into the 60s later this winter.   

[supermike80 1,804]

Winters do see a little milder here in Michigan.   Which I don't mind..at all.

[Hawkeye21 2,382]

The only major thing I've seen here the last couple years is the lack of rain.  Been in a drought and the river has been the lowest I've ever seen.  Sucks for fishing.

[RLLD 4,143]

Not much, but climate is ever-changing so we should assume there will be periods of change.

The weather this year has been very odd. We have only reached half of our average rainfall per year. W also broke a century old record for consecutive days with 100 plus heat. The worst summer I can even come close to remembering. And the humidity was brutal. 

[avoiding injuries 1,510]

ASOS (Automated Surface Observing System) started in 1991 and is when they began observing temperature next to runways at the airport. Who would believe that the temperature would be higher when you start measuring it near giant areas of asphalt. Record highs!!!

[Fnord 2,051]

Southern Minnesota. Winters have been a bit warmer with less snow. 20-30 years ago a Thanksgiving without snow was unheard of. I haven't seen snow on the ground on Thanksgiving for at least a decade. Typically stays warmer further into November/December than it used to. Bad summer droughts the last two years, and spring seems like it's gone and never coming back. It used to start warming up in April or even March. For a few years now it has stayed cold all through April and then we get a couple weeks of moderate temps where the snow melts, then summer comes immediately. Temps go from highs in the 50s to highs in the 70s basically overnight. I'll admit I like the weather way more this way.

It's been -24 degrees here at 8 am the previous 2 days (Omaha Nebraska). That was the actual Temperature in Fahrenheit (Not windchill). I think we can put this Global Warming  / Climate Change hoax to rest.

[RLLD 4,143]

I do have an unhealthy pleasure when it comes to highlighting the stupidity, and arrogance, of the climate nazi church.

Here is but one, of a host of focking morons who think the climate never changes, and when it does they arrogantly assume its "us" and we can further control it.....

How frightening to see the climate change before our eyes – is this the last New York snow I’ll see?

Because, well, there have never been undulations of snow fall in the past.....or have there...

[edjr 6,578]

Hard to tell. We don't seem to get big snow storms as often. Is that just luck?

It would appear there are instances from the past where lower precipitation was measured.....but when it happens now.....we decide that we know why and its us.....ok.....

Yes. So is the fact that 9 of the hottest 10 years on record happened in the past decade.

It is not uncommon to take a tiny snapshot of time, and pretend it is some wider indicator....

The climate on the earth has been changing for billions of years, it might be warming now, but later it will cool.....do we take blame for that as well? I think not....

The climate where I live changes every day.

Over the last two decades, the world has spent tens of trillions of dollars on stopping global warming and it hasn’t had any effect. How long are you gonna keep following these bozos?

"I can very confidently assert, there is NO climate emergency."
“As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril. … atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.
The policies government have been implementing are total unnecessary and should be eliminated.
So far, [we] have totally misidentified what is the dominant process in controlling the climate, and all of the various models are based on incomplete and incorrect physics.
The dominant process, is “the cloud-sunlight-reflexivity thermostat mechanism.
Clouds are all bright white, and they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system.
Two-thirds of the Earth are ocean. The Pacific Ocean alone is half the Earth. The average cloud cover for the Earth is 67%; about 50% over land and 75% over oceans.
I claim that the above conspicuous properties of clouds are the missing part of the puzzle.

I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency."

It's all B.S. They weather has been as up and down as it always has. In the 80s I ljved in true up and down weather areas in Illinois, Winnipeg, and Connecticut and in Boston. 

Nothing is different today. Some mild winters, some heavy winters. Some very hot summers, some not so much.
