We had a tornado touch down about 5 miles from here. The earliest tornado in the Northern thumb ever recorded. Gladwin, a town way North of here, also had one and beat their old earliest record by damn near a month.

Yep 70s all week here. I just hope we're not in for a sweltering summer.

Yup. Not looking forward to the humidity.
Sucks that my parents-in-law are coming in the middle of April and they'll likely miss the cherry blossoms. All the trees are starting to bloom here already.

The Street dept here at the city is WAY ahead of schedule for mowing easements and medians and shit. They usually never have to start that until mid April at the soonest. But that also has to do with getting so much rain as well as the warmer weather.

I don't care what anyone says, this weather is fucking screwy. This far North in Michigan we should still have snow on the ground. Granted it's usually melting by now, but all week it's supposed to be 70-74 degrees. Over 30 degrees above normal. Top 3 warmest winters on record, THE least snowy winter... earliest tornado ever recorded...

 Our normal high is 42. I actually want this entire summer to stay like it has since last fall, about 20-35 degrees above normal every day. I want to see the warm weather lizard skins try and make it through a summer of 110 degree temps and horrid Michigan humidity.

The Lizard Skins will be fine as they will cause rollinv brown outs and higher gas prices due to their need for AC.

if you're blood pressure weren't so high you wouldn't want it to be cold all the time.

I'll get back to this because I've had a bottle of Johnny Walker and two blue wilds.
Those scientists are on the politically appointed Climate Commission who's job is to sell Labor and the Greens Carbon Tax. What they are saying is BS because they never predicted this weather and it wasn't in their models. It is pretty easy to say any weather has been impacted by global warming because it is unfalsifiable. Those same scientists were saying we were going to have permanent drought and the BOM predicted average rainfall in a negative PDO and la nina.

90°F today.
Mid March.
Technically, it's still winter.
It's going to be a hot spring & summer.

New Peer-Reviewed Paper “Is There Any Support In The Long Term Tide Gauge Data To The Claims That Parts Of Sydney Will Be Swamped” By Boretti 2012Quote: “The government of Australia is supporting the statement that sea levels are rising faster than ever before as a result of increased carbon dioxide emissions. Consequent to this, low-lying coastal areas, where the majority of Australians are concentrated, have been declared at risk of sea level inundations. Maps with 0.5, 0.8 and 1.1 m sea level rise have been proposed for Sydney, the major Australian city. However, long term tide gauges, recording sea levels worldwide, as well as along the coastline of Australia, and within the bay of Sydney, do not show any sign of accelerating sea level rises at present time.” The conclusion reads Quote: “Consideration of the measured data recorded over a significant period of time shows that the sea levels are raising weakly without any acceleration component.
The worldwide average tide gauge result obtained considering all the data included in the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level data base show a modest sea level rise and about zero acceleration.
The Fort Denison, Sydney tide gauge result shows the same modest sea level rise and about zero acceleration in perfect agreement with the worldwide result.
The Fremantle tide gauge result, the only other tide gauge operational in Australia over more than a century, shows the same modest sea level rise and about zero acceleration in perfect agreement with the worldwide result and the result of Sydney.
The other tide gauges operational along the coastline of Australia over shorter time scales of 30 to 40 years on average also show the lack of any acceleration component in the rate of rise of sea levels.
The most likely rise of sea level in the bay of Sydney by 2100 is therefore more likely less than the 50 mm measured so far over the last 100 years rather than the metre predicted by some models.”

Hitting 80 in Missouri is something that should not be for this time of year. I do not look forward to Summer this year, as if I ever did. Now, if I had some of Phil's weight, it might be more tolerable.

This has been a week of incredibly warm weather across much of the country. Over 1,500 record high temperatures have been broken or tied the past seven days, and we're not done breaking records yet! Here's a quick roundup of the action so far:
Monday - According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), 138 daily high temperature records were tied or broken primarily in the Northeast and Midwest. This includes records set in New York City (71), Boston, Mass. (71) and Albany, N.Y. (69) that were more than 100 years old!
Tuesday - 218 daily high temperature records tied or broken in the Central and Northeast U.S, according to NCDC. Included were Concord, N.H. (71), Omaha, Neb. (81), Minneapolis, Minn. (67) and Sioux Falls, S.D. (79).
Wednesday - 457 daily high temperature records tied or broken, including St. Louis, Mo. (86), Chicago (81), Milwaukee, Wis. (78) and Paducah, Ky. (82), just to name a few. Minneapolis, Minn. (73) set a new record high on Wednesday for the fourth time in five days! Stunningly, Traverse City, Mich. shattered their earliest 80-degree reading on record, by 13 days; the old record was March 27, 1945.
Thursday - A whopping 593 locations equaled or exceeded their record highs across the Rockies, Plains, Midwest, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Chicago hit 81, the first instance of back-to-back 80s there in March on record. Madison, Wisc. tied its all-time March record of 82, breaking the March 15 record by 13 degrees. Record highs also fell in Atlanta and Norfolk, Va.
Friday - Chicago hit 82, the first instance of three straight days in the 80s there in March on record. Not to mention, it's the earliest 82-degree reading on record, previously set on Mar. 27, 1945! Bismarck, N.D. set a new March all-time record high (82). The previous earliest-in-season occurrence of 82 degrees there was April 2, 1921. Their average high this time of year is around 40 degrees! It was also the warmest day so early in the season in Minneapolis, Minn. (79). You'd have to go back to Mar. 23, 1910 to find a day as warm so early in the season in the Twin Cities! Ft. Wayne, Ind. (78) had its third-straight record high, and the first time it had three straight days with at least a high of 78 degrees since Mar. 27-29, 1910!
More records are likely through the weekend and into next week. Below is a look at the record high temperature potential over the next two days.
