    Man, I barely escaped Cyclone Larry in Australia, which devastated the area I was living in down there. I come to Northern Cali only to arrive at the start of nearly 2 months of solid rain and cold!

    From my own experience, and what everyone told me, this area is supposed to be warm and dry most of the time. Right now it should be in the 70s, and spring should've sprung a month ago. Instead it barely reaches 50 degrees (it's 43 right now just past noon). And it's been this way, every day for almost 2 months. We're getting one partly cloudy day each week, with rain the other six days. Infuckingcredible!

    And I'm lucky cause up in the sierras it's been one blizzard after another! Sure they got a great snowpack, but ppl can't even get there to enjoy it, and if they did they'll be skiing in blizzard conditions!

    Then the midwest got socked as these waves of wet weather come one after another.

    Yesterday there were 61 tornados reported in the Tennessee area!

    And today the National Weather service issued it's hurricane forecast for the next season, predicting 19 hurricanes and 9 major hurricanes, a record forecast! Last season's predictions were too modest as the season broke all records, causing them to run out of names for hurricanes!

    But NOOOOO, there's no global weather problems! Everything is business as usual as far as the US government is concerned.

    And every weather model now predicts things are going to get MUCH WORSE, MUCH SOONER than they predicted just months ago.

    Hang on for your lives ppl...

    This is BUSH weather we got now.

    the weather in california is always diverse and chainging. at least it is in the REAL california. NORTH of big sur and bakersfield.

    you must have got here at just exactly the wrong time.
    we'd up untill then been having one of our dryer winters.
    much too much so.

    diversity isn't messed upness. diversity is nature.
    but global waming HAS chainged weather patterns signifigantly!

    we used to never have monsoonal paterns except rarely, not south to north movin storms as we seem to be having more and more of over the past decade and a half or so.

    the canadian jetstream, dipping low accross the pacific northwest used to be our major weather maker. brining moisture gathered over the pacific on shore in a westboud or even northwest to south east direction.

    as a tendence and a trend that seems to be all chainged now.

    for anything sounth of the tahachapies i can't speak.
    my california has always been donner summit and truckee/lake tahoe, along with the west slope towns along the corridore now identified with i-80, i grew up in; colfax, auburn, and along there. all northeast of sacramento, between there and reno.
    i-80 was us 40 then. the railroad was the sp. even that's chainged now.

    but i always figured south of the south end of the central valley was all messed up with cars and pollution and should never have been stolen from mexico in the first place.

    and of course its THAT 'california' most 'forigners' get conned into thinking of as our state. the place where it's always to damd hot and dry, and probably was even before pavement and the automobile was screwing it up.

    i should thing that part of the state ought to be thankful for finnaly getting some decent storms.

    well, when I heard that there was snow in san diego, something had to be up. and yes, here in kansas, we had a rather mild winter. january was warmer than february was, which is odd! plus weve been getting tornadoes and microbursts and extreme thunderstorms in march, and even last november...

    of course the weather patterns all over the globe will be changing, and weather will be more severe. its the melting of the icecaps that fucks up everything.... and Im sure the smog doesnt help.

    so far as i've ever known, NorCal gets great rains and i always thought it was wet and cold up there. in the middle of the summer on the coast i'd still be in a coat. after all those years of drought all over the southwest, it's nice to get some weather again. go el nino/la nina.

    It snowed all day here in Ottawa. I was not happy when I woke up to see this, I'm so freaking sick of the snow. It wont stay though, it'll melt tomorrow.

    I know it rains like crazy in Eureka and along the northern coast. But I'm inland, practically in the big valley. Last month there was a record setting 26 days of rain out of 31. More and more records are gonna be broken this year. Just wait.

    I bet this summer is HOTHOTHOT! If the rain ever stops...

    Holy shit! That's a lotta rain for Hawaii. And I noticed they're not the usual storms that come in from the east (tradewinds), but the nasty Kona storms that hit the leeward sides of the islands.

    Coincidentally, I'm scanning in some old Hawaii photos at this moment.

    Here's one of West Maui in sunnier times...

    Damn, I shoulda made HHB guess! ;)


    And yes I just missed the cyclone by weeks.

    I for one know when it's time to go...

    In fact I also missed the Tsunami in Thailand, thanks to a fortuitous change of plans... I finally made it there 3 months afterwards!

    sometimes being able to swim just isn't gonna save your ass. i embrace the freakish weather. scare & kill off enough people and they'll wanna start taking a look at pollution.

    It'll be waaay too late by then. Scientists have now realized that the massive weather changes we are now seeing occur on the order of once every 10,000 years (ice age) or once every 60,000,000 years (95% earth species extinction).

    Once the changes reach the "tipping point", where you can't stop the chain of events, there's no time to "start looking" at anything. The earth can become inhabitable to human beings in just a few years!

    Enjoy it while ya can. Learn to start breathing a combination of Methane (increased 150% in the last 100 years), and Carbon Dioxide (increased like 40%), and you might survive.

    Guess what? Everyone smokin' ganja is probably already conditioning themselves, and might even survive the change in atmosphere. Whether they survive the other changes is another story...

    I've been cheering on this damn apocalypse for years.

    Global warming, jesus, aliens, pandemic... I don't care so much, it's the waiting I can't stand.
