Who else had a big change in the weather?
24 hours ago we had 55* and clear ground.
Today its -21* and 16+" snow.
The temp dropped 32 degrees in 20 minutes yesterday, then just kept dropping.
Its the last day of deer hunting and I have 2 tags yet, but I dont know if I'll go out or not. Feels good just to be lazy after 4 days of elk camp blizzards and rushing to get ready for Thanksgiving. We did get 3 elk though.

Not the first shift, but yet another. We went from upper 30's one day to 16"+ of snow the next, and it literally all melted in 48 hours early last week. 6" of snow late last week and now we are heading into windchills of -25 to -45 tomorrow. Very few deer taken this whitetail season in my area.

Definitely Global warming. Now playing CYA and calling it "climate change". I remember back in the 60's all the "Popular" magazines, (Science, Mechanics, et al), ALL predicted an oncoming ice age. They blamed it on the... A-Bomb....LOL

Here on the Olympic Peninsula it went from 52 degrees and pouring rain to 18 degrees and light snow the next day. BTW - British and Russian real climatologists (unlike our global warming priesthood) are currently saying we are barreling into a mini ice age as you read this based on sunspot cycles that have been an accurate predictor of climate trends for several hundred years. All right! Where did i store my cross country ski's.

I am 60 miles due East of Buffalo, NY. Yesterday we had freezing temps and a couple of inches of snow on the ground. Today the lawn is green, temps in the low 50's.

80's today, pretty much normal for TX. Last month we had a very early hard freeze. "Climate change" is like calling a coin toss and picking heads and tails and blaming the outcome on whatever makes the most political sense.

Don't worry, it will freeze tomorrow and go back to the 70's next weekend. Riding the Texas weather roller coaster.

We were -20* all night again, now its up to 12* and the wind is blowing 10mph.
We're supposed to get high winds today and tonight.

The other day when it was really warm it was blowing 76mph here, but a couple miles away it was 122mph. Always happens when the weather changes fast.

It's been all over the place. Last Monday it was 70. Two days later we got 4" of snow. It was 40 yesterday. It's 60 at the moment. An there is supposed to be a massive temp drop and possible snow tomorrow.

Amen to that, I believe that month of running the air conditioning one day and building a fire the next is what people elsewhere would call "fall". We had two bouts of hard freezes in the last couple of weeks lasting 2-3 days each, the native trees still had green leaves until a few days ago, though they were a little frost-burnt around the edges after the first freeze. Butterflies and ladybugs have been abundant through all of this. We'll get a heat wave in late January that will make all the peach trees bloom and then freeze again in Feb.

The temp dropped 32 degrees in 20 minutes yesterday.
I remember a night on the Texas Panhandle when temperatures fell suddenly.
The mercury dropped so fast it broke the bottoms out of everybody's thermometers.

N/E Nebraska went from 74 ot 10 degrees in about 8 hours Saturday/Sunday night. That's a pretty big shift for us.

Worst temp drop I saw was from 95 to 35. That spawned an F5 tornado that tracked all the way across southern Minnesota almost into Minneapolis. I was storm watching and went from A/C running to heater and digging for the old winter coat that stayed in the truck year round. Was first to call that tornado in, and that was my last storm watch season. The town it hit was wiped off the map. I spent 8 hours helping people and calling in whatever was needed via radio because cell and landline service went down. Some how only a few injured and only 1 death resulted.
