It's 74 today in Pittsburgh.  We got 3 inches of snow 2 days ago.

And you will probably get 3" of snow in 2 days.

The dew point is at 60 today.   To me that's more of an outlier than the possible record high temp today.    Going to make me really focus on getting the tree/shrub pruning done, despite Badge's truth, that it will likely snow this next week.

Our 10 day forecast has only one low as low as freezing, in February.

This is unusual.

I'm jealous.

The long range here is for a below average March, April and May. I don't like that.

This below-average crap is starting to get really old, but I guess I should be happy I don't live in New England.

There has not been one day in March that the average has been hit here. That should change tomorrow - for one day. Then it's right back to the same crap.

Tulips and others are starting to push up.  Time to do some pruning tomorrow on the rose bushes, etc.

Marc Morano's new book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change" (Regnery Publishing) is just in time to refute the argument that "climate change" will destroy all life on Earth. It is a mark of Morano's dark humor that he features as an "endorsement" of the book a comment by the liberal Daily Kos, which calls Morano "evil personified."

The book is a point-by-point takedown of the predictions of disaster made by the climate change movement, none of which have materialized, but when one is part of a cult, facts don't matter.

In the book's foreword, the late John Coleman, who was a meteorologist, TV weatherman and co-founder of The Weather Channel, writes: "We meteorologists are well aware of how limited our ability is to predict the weather. Our predictions become dramatically less reliable as they extend into the future. When we try to predict just a few weeks into the future our predictions become increasingly inaccurate. Yet the 'climate change' establishment that now dominates the UN bureaucracy and our own government science establishment claim that they can predict the temperature of the Earth decades into the future."

While our ability to predict WEATHER is obviously dubious and testable, our ability to predict CLIMATE is not remotely the same thing.  It is possible we have tools to predict long term climate changes while being unable to predict weather 10-50 days out.

I also think the hype machine by folks like Gore have "muddied the waters" and turned this into a partisan issue rather than a technical one.

As for changing my own climate, we just signed a contract for a condo in Atlanta.  The weather there last week was cool but warming and spring had sprung.  We came back to freezing rain and clearly winter residues.

I wonder if it gets hot in summer down there?
