Might hit 70 degrees today...

[tenguzero]

Is this the winter or did I up and move to Florida in my sleep? How in the HELL does it approach 70 degrees in a New England January!? And they're saying this warm weather will head into next week.

Sucks to own a skiing operation this year. Is there even such thing as a "moderate" temperature Winter anymore? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely despise those raw, freezing days where your skin cracks from the cold, dry air. But I'm certainly not liking this 70 degree shit either. Where's my snow? Don't WE get a storm? I swear I remember Winters no more than a decade or so ago being, well, more wintery. It seems the last bunch of years have been just plain screwed up. I'm not liking this global warming crap, that's for sure.

im sure we will get hit soon so enjoy it while it lasts!

It's been pretty warm (for winter) in the Chicago area lately too...it's been great seeings how I dispise snow.

I heard on the news, that we are in an El Nino weather pattern, and that's what is causing this winter's lack of winterness in the Northeast. He absolutely proclaimed it was NOT global warming...

He also said that the mild temps would last for the next several months, and probably til Spring. Figures that it's nice now that my driving commute is all of 15 mins... my poor motorcycle is so confused!

Dude, im LOVING this weather. If we don't get any snow up here, I wont be shedding any tears. I despise the cold and snow, I had even planned on moving to the southwest to get out of it... BUT if it keeps up like this, maybe i'll stay!

I'm trying not to complain too much, but 65 dgrees in January is way strange for this area. My heating bill is loving it, however.

I'm kinda leery about what this means for this summer, though.

[Steel]

hopefully, HOT!

I go to school in upstate New York, so everyday I don't have to walk 15min to and from class in sub-freezing is a good day. That, and my car likes snow as much as my intestines like Taco Bell.

I do miss skiing, and I am worried about summer too. This last one had a few brutally hot weeks, I don't want them to turn into a few brutal months

I'm in CT and I love it right now, 65 degrees. I drive a truck for a living so if the snow is really bad we get parked and I lose money. Works for me, sucks for the snow plow guys!

You're not hearing me cry about this great weather. Sure beats the hell out of the snowy winters I remember back in the mid to late 70's. They are also saying that this nice weather is also being caused by the Atlantic oscillation along with El Nino. The oscillation is in the North Atlantic starting around Greenland. Syracuse has the distinction of being the snowiest major city in the United States but this year we've only received just over 12" of snow, and mostly all of that was in November! There is a competition(Golden Snowball Award) amongst the three cities on the Thruway, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse as to who gets the most snow every year, and we usually win by a "avalanche". This year Buffalo has gotten over 30" so far.I've been loving this warm weather too concerning my heating bill, but our local gas supplier tacks on a surcharge( they call it an 'adjustment' from normal) to the bill when the weather is warmer than normal to make up for lost revenues when people use less gas. THAT SUCKS. Not to worry though. Weather seeems to have a way of evening itself out over time, so I'm sure we will pay dearly for this nice stretch. In fact we might see more lake effect snow later into the season than normal because the Great Lakes are warmer and not freezing over.

It hit 76 today here, I swear yesterday it was at least 80 and humid as hell. I work outside so this warm winter rocks for me. I just wish we could take some of this cold weather that were missing and put some of it in summer.

[kris]

I think we hit 27 today.

[Oz]

2-21 F tomorrow

[jcsaleen]

Great here in N.Y today, was like 75 today

I wore shorts and sandals all day. Icebergs are overrated. I'm definantly pro-global warming. I miss snowboarding too, but I figure that's what hte Alps are for anyway...only a 6 hour plane ride.
