Why is it so freakin' warm?!

[Chitowncartfreak]

It's nearly the middle of January in Chicago and our forecasted highs for the next week range from 35-50 degrees. Look like another season of sitting on my Arctic Cat in the garage instead of firing it up and tacking the trails and fields (without a 6-8 hour drive). What gives?! :cry:

Global warming, El Nino, or the Heat Miser. :)

Winter of 2000 - Chitowncartfreak does not own snowmobile, but due to heavy and consistent snowfall during winter of 2000/2001 decides to purchase snowmobile prior to start of next winter.

Winter of 2001 - present - some of the dryest, warmest winters on record.

There's the reason...

i have buds on my pear trees out front.

i was supposed to be snowmobiling in mitchigan Friday.

weather, huh? :gomer:

It all has to do with averages. :gomer:

[Chitowncartfreak]

It will probably be colder during the Milwaukee race weekend.

This weather is awesome.

Why complain?! We went through the same thing with a snowmobile, buying it and then not having it snow all season, but I don't mind the nice weather. I like not having to let the van warm up or having to put on a sweatshirt along with a coat. I do miss the sunshine though.

I dont mind the warmer weather, but everyone's getting sick. I've had strep already, one of my co-workers has bronchitis, and two other co-workers have colds. I'm sick of it. OTOH, this means we'll have snow in May, which delays road construction season.

[Warlock!]

This weather is awesome.
You guys are frickin' high. 25-30 degrees, sunshine, and snowcover > 40-45 degrees and rain/mist/clouds with 20 minutes of sun per week.

Another way to look at it is snow>mud.

On the plus side,( :rolleyes: ) I blew up one of my sleds during the final week before Christmas (the day before the weather turned warm). I just got it in the shop last week. It's not quite so painful being without it when there's nowhere within 400 miles to ride. :(

i take full responsibility: new snowblower.

It's the pattern we're in for now. Don't worry it will change. Folks in the NE will get a taste of it this weekend. We had 22 days below normal in December, so the past 3 weeks above or @ normal have just evened it out. Europe and the Far East have been getting it recently. In fact, I read an article that there was frost in New Dehli for the first time in 70 years! :eek: Go figger. The forecast models are suggesting a change in the next 7-10 days. For now, I'm enjoying it, as this means my ga$ use/bill will be less. :thumbup:

After last years ice storms, I'm not complaining!

Here too, it's bright sun and 56 degrees here at Mildew Manor. The mildew may have to go on life support if this keeps up....
