Not complaining, but...

This Summer is being weird. It's August. August, the month normally filled with days of oppressive heat. This August has been different. In northern Minnesota new low temperature records have been set in the last few days. It got down to 23 F in Embarrass. Yep, below freezing.

The highs have also been on the low side, for August. It was nice, last Saturday going to MnRF and not having to deal with the heat like year. But I'm wondering what the future holds. If this keeps up (down?) will I see it snow at the faire next month?

The overnight low for Shakopee is forecast to be 43 F with a high tomorrow of 75 F. And that's with a clear sky. It'll be nice, though I might need to consider a cloak in the morning.

This is the sort of isolated oddity that the disbelievers in global warming like to sieze upon and insist that the whole thing is a myth.

The truth, unfortunately, is that it's all part of the same pattern. In a few more weeks they'll be telling us it has something to do with El Nino or La Nina or some other thing that happens in cycles way out at sea and that is out of its normal sequence.

No doubt that it is an isolated oddity. While I am unconvinced of global warming - or at least that human activities have caused it - there are better arguments against such things than citing local meteorological anomalies.

It oughtta be embarrassed to be 23 F in August. Damn, but that's February weather.

Beat me to it, but that's what I get for being the only person on second-tier duty this afternoon. :)
