    The folks at Weather.com who can't get yesterdays high and low temperatures correct say it has started.

    Saw that. Past 6 months was Boring weather .

    They're having fun, playing on the human emotion & sensationalizing a normal weather event.

    24 hr TV & internet coverage cost $$.

    They had to do something to get attention to their broadcasts & web sites
    Investor & advertising money $$ at stake.

    Boring to say,
    "it's winter , expect cold weather & snow ."
    Not sure why cold weather & snow in the midwest & eastern US in winter is big news. "Not" Global warming maybe ? LOL

    They don't have much coverage for the weather in Alaska, no money in it for them.

    I have a tough time figuring out what the normal temps are, & what the trend is.
    are they the warm temps (but then they call that global warming)
    are they the cold temps (but they call that climate change & are caused by global warming)

    OMG ! A record snowfall in November in the UP of Michigan. (fine print " Hasn't done this since 2010" )
    Sound like sportscaster's, "Most rushing yards since 2012"

    Trouble is if you keep saying it over & over, it becomes the normal way of thinking,
    but noting to do with the facts.

    Brainwashing techniques ?
    Kinda sounds political, eh?

    If it was political Dave... now, that just wouldn't be sciiiiiiiiiience would it? So...... it can't be political... ;):D Warmists say it's getting warmer so.... it must be getting warmer, and wildwest is just kidding when she tells us it's -20 below zero in Wyoming... :rofl: :lol:
    At least it's all very entertaining... :popcorn:

    I want to know where they stuck that thermometer so I can dump a bucket of chicken poop on it. That should heat it up a bit :whistle:.

    Just remember that after it's all done you got the average.

    Ah yes, but the average of what.

    Anyway if it makes it this way I have plenty of TP and shovels.

    He double I think I still have a shovel that I cobbled together from heavy item pick time back in the big city. I had several shovels and rakes that I got that way. Waste not, want not.

    The WU sticker in my sig never agrees with my thermometer or the temps on weather.com. Oh well when I go out to tend to things here I believe my stuff over the others which has been known to be miles away.

    When in doubt (which is most of the time), I just look at the thermometer outside the kitchen window.
    It's pretty accurate....I guess.
    The other thing I do is walk outside. If I'm cold, well, it's cold. If it's snowing, uh....you get the idea.:rofl: :lol:

    Just like the story of the Native American weather rock. If it's wet, it's raining. If it's white, it's snowing. If it's flying, take cover.
