Tornado Alley (PROG)

[DesertDrifter]

I agree on the weather... i think it is part of Global Climate Turbulence. I know it was a La Nina winter, but it is far from over here. I burned more firewood than any winter ever... it was cold for very long stretches with no mild periods. I still have the woodstove cranked today, it is raining and 48 degrees out. And the snowpack in the Warners is so heavy that i still can't get up to the high elevations where i cut lodgepole pine firewood.

The kids are coming up this weekend and we were going to go camping, but it is just too chilly and wet to have fun camping, so we are going to just make daytrips from my house to dig opals, etc. Having it be too cold for drinking beer on memorial day is a legitimate reason for cap and trade. And since i always celebrate the first time the temperature hits 90 degrees with a tall gin and tonic, i will probably be thirsty for a long time this summer.
