Now that everyone is so concerned about global warming, it seems like these cold waves are hitting us more often. |
Its referred to as "climate change" now  |

Well the new theory with the science geeks is that the earth is in the latter stages of a ice age. Thus the slow melting of the polar caps. The rebirth giant cold blood animals (democrats). |

Yes, but you are farther north & inland so it is to be expected. I haven't had to wear a jacket yet this winter. 
You are near Durham correct?

Heh, heh. About time you dispensed with those 80 degree days whilst I was sitting here freezing my toes off.

I will gladly volunteer to take all of your cold weather (CA and southeast) if I can ship my weather back to Canada! 
Actually winter has been tame here so far... but it looks like that is set to change in the next couple weeks. |

Laaz, you better stay inside...now that you're a South Carolinian that kind of temp could kill you faster than it could harm your citrus!!!
So far we haven't gone below -5 F this year, so it's been a pretty warm winter. |

Well, I think the cold air mass has finally moved east. Time for some "Chamber of Commerce" weather!!!! Hurray!!!!! This is the final graph I will post (for now) showing the history and low temps. The 17 degrees two nights ago set a record for low temps (the last was in 1971).
Time to go and unwrap the trees!!!!!!!
Good luck to those east of us 
Peter
