    The weather has gone crazy here. We've had an all time record for dryness all spring summer and fall, this in an area that is technically a temperate rainforest and never goes that long without rain, the plant life and trees in the forest were dying all over the place it was really weird. Then in November we broke an all time record for the most rain. It poured down, hard, heavy rain like I've seen in places like Ontario where there are flash summer storms, and just didn't stop. It was amazing to see. Then in early december we had what was very close to a record amount of snowfall which crushed many buildings including my garage and my beloved subaru as a side effect. We measured a total of just a fraction under 6 feet of snow outside our house over a 3 day period. Now in the last week or so we've again broken all time records, this time for wind with a series of major storms blowing one after the other. On the news tonight they were showing airplanes flipped over at the airport that had been staked down, trees down all over the place blocking highways (we have very large trees here, 100 feet up to 150 feet is not unusual). Hundreds of thousands have lost power off and on through all of this, the rain caused trees on hillsides to get their roots washed out and fall across power lines, then the unusual amount of snow caused them to break from the weight and fall across power lines, car accidents etc. Any trees that were left are now falling in these wind storms. You should see our street, it's just a pile of broken branches everywhere. The forecast is for another huge storm that is predicted to be much worse than anything we've seen yet to hit from off the Pacific at 4pm tomorrow and increase in intensity all night with winds gusting well over 100kph. Maybe someone in Hawaii doesn't like us because all the bad weather seems to be coming from there lately. What's next: locusts? :)

              Yeah, it was over 50 degrees (F) in parts of northern south dakota today. IN DECEMBER. It's normally about 10-20 degrees and three feet of snow.

                The weather has been odd for maybe 10 years now...it's simply gotten bad enough for people to notice...and it'll probably get even worse at earth's magnetic field distabilizes... The current position of the magnetic poles is starting to change just as it had millions of years ago, so in time we'll have several different poles until the earth flips and the new poles are established. The magnetic north pole is slowly moving away from the geographical north pole and the magnetic field is weakening in some locations, which gives scientists a clue on what's happening. If you combine the subtle changes of the magnetic field and the effects of global warming you'll see the slight changes that affect weather patterns, which multiply because the balance if broken...

                            But it seems that it is just like some hardliner are sayin: there is no climate change.... (how blind must they be X| ) We had the warmest november ever and december doesn't seem to get better. (germany)

                              The weather has gone crazy here. We've had an all time record for dryness all spring summer and fall, this in an area that is technically a temperate rainforest and never goes that long without rain, the plant life and trees in the forest were dying all over the place it was really weird. Then in November we broke an all time record for the most rain. It poured down, hard, heavy rain like I've seen in places like Ontario where there are flash summer storms, and just didn't stop. It was amazing to see. Then in early december we had what was very close to a record amount of snowfall which crushed many buildings including my garage and my beloved subaru as a side effect. We measured a total of just a fraction under 6 feet of snow outside our house over a 3 day period. Now in the last week or so we've again broken all time records, this time for wind with a series of major storms blowing one after the other. On the news tonight they were showing airplanes flipped over at the airport that had been staked down, trees down all over the place blocking highways (we have very large trees here, 100 feet up to 150 feet is not unusual). Hundreds of thousands have lost power off and on through all of this, the rain caused trees on hillsides to get their roots washed out and fall across power lines, then the unusual amount of snow caused them to break from the weight and fall across power lines, car accidents etc. Any trees that were left are now falling in these wind storms. You should see our street, it's just a pile of broken branches everywhere. The forecast is for another huge storm that is predicted to be much worse than anything we've seen yet to hit from off the Pacific at 4pm tomorrow and increase in intensity all night with winds gusting well over 100kph. Maybe someone in Hawaii doesn't like us because all the bad weather seems to be coming from there lately. What's next: locusts? :)

                              Don't feel isolated, the weather in Australia is pretty hectic where i am too. Keep in mind that our seasons are opposite. We had the coldest day in november (our last month of spring), it was 5 degrees celsius (41 F) for our area ever recorded around, then 4 days later it was 41 degrees celsius (105.8 F). Today it was 95 F, yesterday it was 59 F and the day before was almost 100, it's so crazy. For our area, temps should be so consistent now. DAMN GLOBAL WARMING! Ethanol fuel is the way of the future, or hydrogen cell alternatively (preferably).

                                So this weather you are experiencing has never happened before? Say, over the last 5 thousand years?

                                Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception

                                      I don't know if you read newspapers, but the whole academic world is convicent of the greenhouse effect. So let all Chinese have the same car park as the USA have, and see how fast the earth will warm up then. Here in the Netherlands btw, we had the warmest year in the past 1000 year

                                        maybe all the gas that that Subaru guzzled had something to do with all the bad weather!
