It is fuc#ing snowing again :(. A few days ago it was summer (24 degrees) and now it is winter again (2 degrees).

The climate has become so strange.

I don't disagree but how much of the perceived strangeness is confirmation bias?
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I love confirmation bias.
My work moved Novemberish last year.
So I travel a 7km section of road with a narrow bridge towards the end.
The only time I pass a large truck on that road is on that narrow bridge.
I love confirmation bias.

I think weather always was strange, it's probably stranger now, could be a smidge or a tad stranger, I can't be sure.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Yeah, people, in general, don't have a very intuitive grasp of statistical big pictures. Will probably have to look at meteorological records for a time span way surpassing my age to say with a degree of confirmation bias-free certainty that the trend is climate is getting stranger.   :-[

Oh come now, cheer up!
I think the weather could become undeniably strange by 2050.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Mental note: Remember to say the weather is definitely strange once we reach January 1st, 2050.

See, I have something else to procrastinate doing now. :tellmemore:

Cooler but rainy today. Drying clothes on the line may not work out so well.

It was 32C yesterday!

It was sunny all day so I decided to keep my sunroof of my car open just a little bit. Now there are rain clouds forming. Every time  ::)
Strange but not a stranger<br /><br />I love my car more than I love most people.

It's beautiful today! In the mid 50s, overcast, and breezy. It's hard to believe it's May and this nice.

Today was both too cold to not wear a sweater and not cold enough to wear a sweater, depending on whether you were indoors or not.

Global warming is for real.  In spite of the usual assumptions, my Florida summer weather is endurable.  Today we had a most unusual 97 degree F mid day.  Even the damned weeds in my lawn are wilting.  That ain't good.  We are not accustomed to such temperatures,  High eighties and very low nineties have been the hot season norm.............Today was not a good day in the sun.

100°F outside but feels like 100°C.
