Where the hell is December weather?

“It's December 16, right? Supposed to be chilly outside, right? Christmas right around the corner, right?

75 degrees out!

I'm SICK of this sh!t. Sure it's always warmer down here near the Gulf Coast, but this is ridiculous. We haven't had more than 10 days this fall when the high temp has been below 70 degrees. Most times it's been this soupy, tropical, hot and humid sh!t. With almost no break. The nights are worse. Last night I was up at 2:30 a.m., and it was 70 degrees (and humid, of course). And that's been typical this fall.

OK, I'm done ranting for now.”

“Upper 30s and drizzle/light rain here in Northern Wisconsin. I drove about a 100 mile loop through the woods on county roads Saturday and only a trace of our one snow storm remain in the shady spots. More like late March-early April around here. More of the same predicted for Monday. The winter sports & recreation industry is facing tough times, but I can't say I miss the whine of snowmobiles.”

“Maybe Jan/Feb will finally get what we are looking for..”

“My neighbor harvested peas from his garden this morning. This is getting truly ridiculous! BTW I still have flowers blooming in mine.”

“I'm looking for snow days and lots of them! I hate this weather. :o(”

“Being in the line of work that I'm in, I LOVE SNOW DAYS!!!”

“On a good day here you don't have to wear potholders to grab the steering wheel.

Still toasting in the desert..”

“The pattern is supposed to break by the beginning of January and when it breaks, it's spposed to be bad. Just be patient and in the meantime enjoy the good riding weather.”

“At the beginning of January it starts getting HOT again in Louisiana. Not that it's been anything other than hot so far.”

“Ahhh life is sweet. I mowed the lawn (in shorts and tee shirt) for the last time this year. I'll start mowing in 2002 in mid-January. Snow? I defy the Snow Gods to come into the Upstate of the Caroline. They wouldn't dare.”

“Just wait we are going to get hit real hard....And I mean real HARD!!!!!!”

“In Louisiana it has been so dang cold - 78* today. I had to put on pants.”

“Thats funny....:)”

“its cold enough by me

30s-40s all week”

“It's finally coolin' off here, and we've got a little snow. The temps do tend to even out, so the rest of out winter should be cold, cold, and snowy. Yay snow!”

“I'm not sure where it is in the rest of the country, but I had to travel to Chicago today,,,snowstorm this morning (not much of a storm) and about 25 tonight,,,that seems like winter to me.”

“I went out to the garden yestarday and low and behold I've got onions comin' up! I thought to myself, "Self, if you had planted a few rows of lettuce a month or two ago you'd still be munchin' fresh salads." I'll know better next year!”

“All the December weather is here.

I have already used my snowblower more this month than total use last winter. Over 4 foot snow pack in my yard now and just started again.”

“Wow, ya whiners!! I love it!! KEEP THE SNOW!!

I could care less if it snowed at all. (BRING ON THE BROWN CHRISTMAS!!) But I know the farmers need to have precip of some type of recharge ground moisture...and it's not raining either.

Man, I'd much rather NOT have 5 to 6 months of winter. THINK ABOUT IT!!”

“We have winter temperatures in NJ now, at least at night. Some of my herbs still look alive and I'm still harvesting green onions.”

“I heard on NPR that between Dec 1 and Dec 14 last year, we had accumulated well over 20" of snow. This year - 0". It's been raining though.

Of course, as a Michigander, I am not surprised. We never know what we're gonna get.

I'll be spending Xmas in Colorado. Guaranteed to have a white Xmas there!!”

“Framers Almanac called for a white Christmas in these parts. I'll wait and see. Honestly, I kinda like this Indian Summer we have been having. I have some 'MUMs that have yet to bloom. Last year at this time we were going thru our 3th coldest season on record. I will say this I rather have the snow then a freezing rain.”

“The really sad thing is that some snow belters favor the global warming phenomenon because of the mild (down here, hot) winters.”

“Into the 20's at night, lower 40's during the day. Well that's just about as wintery as it gets around here, on average. Now all we need is for the rain to turn to sleet a few more times, and we'll have it down. LOL!”

“Our overnight low in Rhinelander was 17 F, up to 18 F at 6 a.m. We have a light dusting of snow is all, but some confusion among the TV weather guys over whether we will or will not get real snow this weekend. Since I have to do a lot of driving over X-mas week, I'd just as soon keep the snow to a minimum.”

“Hell yeah Steve Hiker! I was just standing out on my back deck with a case of hair spray shootin them cans straight up at the sky! Come on and warm up all ready!”

“It is about 10 degrees outside right now (9 AM here), the high today is supposed to be around 30 degrees. I don't know if we'll hit that or not, there's a little northern breeze that is frickin' chilly. Weather channel said there's going to be a storm moving in tonight, the temps. will be in the teens and low 20's tomorrow. We've had two snowstorms so far, but nothing major (by MT standards). Personally, I'd like to see it get a whole lot nastier. We have very serious drought probs. to worry about up here.”

“Jeez, it's a high of 60F here. That's cool compared to the 70s and 80s lately. I'd rather be in the snow. ANY snow! Now is when I can do "cool weather" gardening, meaning the things you usually see in a garden anywhere else but Fl.”

“Nigal, that hairspray thing almost resulted in me destroying the keyboard w/ a hot coffee spray straight out the nostrils!”

“Anyone for fried green tomatoes? I got them everywhere, it`s warm enough for them to grow, but to cold for them to get vine ripe,...

I often miss the winters of Colorado and Kansas.”

“We have snow!!!!!!!!Where I live we are getting good lake effect snow right now and it looks cool......:)”

“I"m glad to see that our gov is on top of everything......LOL.....”

“LMAO! I had to check twice to make sure that wasn't the Onion!”

“Onion?????”

“Yeah iluv, it's a news spoof. Here's a link.”

“Ohhhhhhhh I see it now thank you Skullcap...I will have to put that in my favorties....:)I like the one info on there about the bridge being out in 8 Feet...LOL...:)”

“Started snowing here last night and we've got a couple inches since -- roads are treacherous since the snow was preceded with a day of rain.

Prediction is for snow continuing for the next four days at least, more to the north along Superior. Winter snow warning for the county just to our north which is where lake effect snow reaches when the wind is from the NW.”

“Finally have some snow tonite. Very light but hopefully it will come...in Biblical proportions!”

“We've been getting the white stuff all day. They say two feet by Wednesday! Merry Christmas!”

“Guaranteed White Christmas south of Detroit. An inch on the ground. Roads are iffy. Okay, in two days it can warm back up. Maybe we'll need snowshoes for saturday's hike.”

“Sunshine - around where do yo live up there? friend of mine wants to know about the snow pack up there for sledin'..”

“Sunny is in Mohawk. If you dont know where that is look for Ahmeek,Ahmmek station,Calumet,Lake Linden.”

“Guess we will get our White Christmas after all!”

“Well they are saying snow for us all week....Cool.....:)

We have about 1 to 2 on the ground now I live right by the lake and we are getting lake effect right now the whole nine yards blowing snow windy outside.

Fun fun fun......:)

Mike”

“It's snowing here! Cool.”

“It arrived in the mid-west on Sunday”

“Ha ha welcome to no snowvill...:)”

“Birch: "in Biblical proportions!"

say what?.. hehe.. which chapter and verse was that in?.. :)”

“Have you noticed how it’s NOT RAINING MUCH again; how most of the weather fronts that have managed to come through this season have been DISSIPATED and BROKEN UP? Have you noticed the occasional WEIRD CLOUD SHAPES that appear with the few fronts that do manage to pass by? And how the jet stream has been FORCED NORTH again? How high pressure ridges continue to dominate?

Some say the rain is BEING TURNED ON and OFF by an irritated and vengeful G_d. In reality, however, it is Man who is playing G_d and doing the dirty work. None of this is ILLUSORY or ACCIDENTAL, for there is POWERFUL and COMPELLING EVIDENCE that the BIZARRE WEATHER patterns of recent years have been - to a very large degree - ENGINEERED, CONTROLLED, and INFLUENCED by BOTH the RUSSIAN and AMERICAN governments. To those of you familiar with the work of the SUPERMIND OF NIKOLA TESLA, the following will not come as much of a surprise.

On the Fourth of July, 1976, the former Soviet Union began broadcasting huge, PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS from three gigantic 40-million watt transmitters which beamed those signals HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD to the U.S. This electronic assault DISRUPTED AND JAMMED radio and television broadcast signals, enraged the FCC, and irritated ham radio operators, who quickly dubbed the signals 'The Russian Woodpecker,' because of their PULSED CADENCE.

To date, the Russians have completed nearly 30 of the HUGE TRANSMITTERS which emit signals primarily in the VERY DANGEROUS 10-Hertz range, otherwise known as Extreme Low Frequency (ELF). The technology is based on the brilliant work of the peerless electrical genius, Nikola Tesla. So, what exactly does the 'Russian Woodpecker' do and how does it do it? Consider the following:

These 'Tesla' transmitters create massive 'standing' ELF waves that form MAJOR HIGH PRESSURE 'blocking systems' that change the normal high altitude jet stream pattern, FORCE IT TO THE NORTH, and actually retard the normal flow patterns of incoming weather systems. Ever notice the television weather satellite pictures showing the jet stream pushed north and a BIG STATIONARY high pressure blocking nearly every major rain system?

ELF fields propagate vertically to the ground, creating 'standing waves' that can REDISTRIBUTE ENERGY and momentum in the atmosphere through cumulus convection. It has been CONSISTENTLY NOTED that variance of the ELF transmissions leads to a subsequent change in the route of the jet stream flow in the Northern Hemisphere within 72 hours.

The Soviets TURNED OFF their ELF Woodpecker signal for a brief period in 1980: "During the two-week lull, the Northern Hemisphere's jet stream was NORMAL. With the return of the Soviet ELF transmissions, the jet stream was DEFLECTED AGAIN by a persistent high-pressure ridge extending from the Yukon to Arizona.

There is much more, but I THINK YOU GET THE PICTURE. 'Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it,' doesn’t function any more.

Nikola Tesla said, in June 1900, " The time is very near when we shall have the precipitation of the moisture of the atmosphere under complete control..." If you have ever read a biography of the GREAT GENIUS, you'll know he wasn't joking.

Does the U.S. government have ITS OWN series of ELF/microwave transmitters? You bet. Can ELF be used to do more than ENGINEER and INFLUENCE just the weather (like human beings, for example)?

Yes, it CAN and IS. But that's another story...



By the way, YOU can BELIEVE ME as I had more than 42 BAG NIGHTS last year and have been backpacking FOR OVER 30 light-years.”
