70 degrees at 10 PM on February 23rd.

[The Professor]

As I was driving home from our district tournament in Powell County tonight I noticed at 9:45 PM the bank themometer in Beattyville said 70. I thought that might wrong, as those electronic boards ssometimes are. But when I got to Booneville about 10 PM it was 70 on the bank themometer there as well. I don't think I've ever seen it that warm in February that late in the evening. Maybe in the middle of the day, but not that warm after the sun has disappeared. Unusually warm for this time of the year.

My Uncle Ornia from Beattyville would be surprised.

Yep, global warming is definitely a myth.

Joking?

[jericho]

Climate change, global warming, greenhouse effect = same thing

 

Something ain't right.

Supposed to snow in the next 24 hours, really don't think one night of warm temps is a sign of global warming.

It's ok I do that all of the time myself.

It's not like it's just one night. I've worn shorts more than I've worn jeans this "winter." Temps in the 50s and 60s are a regularity, not an aberration. We don't seem to be having true winters any more. Or any true seasons any more. Just some winter, and then a long summer season.

Last winter was bitter cold.

I've never felt that we've had TRUE winters and I've been around NKY for almost 3 decades. We are hit or miss with most of the time getting missed more so than not. We have season's and our winters usually consist of everyone hoping for snow not the other way around. I can just about count on my hand the number of "Big Snows" we've had and I can also count about the same ammount of April snows.

 

I dunno if you want seasons move to the true midwest, the Dakota's, Kansas, west Illinois etc. Honestly when you think about it KY is almost the same as Mississippi, thunderstorms, flooding, maybe a tornado and ice but it's relatively calm around here and the current weather is just part of a pattern not some big global warming trend that will destroy generations to come. We had ice ages prior to our moder technology and I don't this it was because of our over use of fossil fuels or too many planes in the sky.

Also Jim you're a hippy I'm pretty sure you wear shorts any time it's near 50. I won't even get on my motorcycle unless it's in the upper 50's, different strokes for different folks.

:lol: I was going to point out the same thing, as well as the fact that the Great Ice Storm is still fresh in my mind....:eek:

[leatherneck]

I've got a hunch the folks in Europe don't think there's much to the Global Warming theory.

 

Our unusually warm weather has more to do with El Nino (or is it El Nina this time?) than Global Warming.

I shower daily, thank you very much, and find the scent of patchouli to be disgusting. I also find PBR to be nasty. Hippies are annoying, and tend to smell bad.

 

I do wear shorts whenever the weather is reasonably warm, but that's because I find them to be comfortable, and my sometimes overactive sweat glands can be kept at bay by less clothing.
