It is cold here by Flint, lots of snow, about 10" on the ground. The temp at night has been in the below O's, with out a wind chill factor.. but all is good and plants are growing.. even the sun was out today

thanks for the concern

I heard on the news tonight that most of the country is below normal, even frigid temperatures, from Montana to Texas and all the way to the East Coast. Coldest winter in 8 years.

Where's global warming when you need it???

I heard they are having record winter highs in the south west. Santa Anna, CA hit 87. There is definitely some big redistributions of energy going on.

We are having 0 to negative temps tonight which haven't happened here in probably 20 years (certainly not in the 13 years I've been here).

though it's cold here in upstate ny, it isn't unusual at all. for this usda climate zone it can get to -25˚f, and it's around -7. last year at this spot only got down to about 4f, but that was a warm winter. I think news agencies are lacking for real news so they are making a big deal about the weather. (not talking about global weather, just around here in general) they don't have anything else really to talk about, and they tend to hype everything just to try and get their ratings up. some times it will be cold, others it will be warm.
...that said, be careful on the roads, arrive alive and stay warm!

I prefer to call it Global Climate Change.
