Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 21, 2011

Get used to it… think JUNE!

You live in the Northeast for heaven sake, Danae. It’s April before the snow all melts and usually June till mud season ends!!

It’s already hot, here (GA). Supposed to be 82 today, 85 tomorrow, and 83 Wednesday.

Move south when you get older, Danae. Spring begins much earlier.

What’s “snow”?

Hey Nabu,

What’s all that bleeep got to do with today’s strip?

That’s trivia and we just aren’t impressed. You must be real lonely. Give it a rest, already.

Jaroca2, speak for yourself. If you don’t like it just skip it.

Anyone care to explain how the “Non Sequitur” calendar works?

Wow Wiley, how prophetic! Here in NNJ we are getting snow, and it is currently (7:30 am) coming down hard (inch and a half on the ground and about 1/4 mi visibility). This after yesterday’s gorgeous afternoon, 60 - 62 degress and a blue, cloudless sky.

If this comic thing does not work out for you, there may be a future for you in weather forecasting!!! ;-)

Here in Central MN the mercury has been bouncing all over the place. Last week was “above average” temperatures, this week we’re looking at highs in the high-20’s - low-30’s. Not totally unexpected for this time of year around here.

Don’t tell me about the first day of Spring. I walked her dog though the campus yesterday and not one hormonal crazed, full moon affected, equinox driven Co-Ed threw herself on this mid-fifties, balding man with poor hygiene habits. Always next year.

Ah nuts, Proginoskes. You stole my line.

Sweltering in Centex (that’s central Texas).

You …are….in…. MAINE Danae! Plus forget Global warming we’re getting COLDER!

we got 8” of snow last night on top of the inch of rain we got yesterday………….in So Cal mountains

my daffodils look pathetic

On a similar note, when I lived in FL we used to say we had two seasons, Summer and January.

Gee, Lewreader, most people (or at least normal people) learn about showers and baths BEFORE they get to be 50.

in chicago we have two seasons winter and road reconstruction. the seasons are not pleasant

Spring may have sprung, but we are getting a new shipment of snow this week. Go figure!

Poor hygiene? I would be amazed if he was house broken!

If she wants the answer to that send her to ask Capt. Eddie.

Jaroca2, speak for yourself. Don’t like it, don’t read it!

Nab, thanks for the info. I found it interesting, truly! :-)

Danae! Save it for Al Gore.

Been raining buckets in Central California for the last 3 days and no end in sight. I’m with Danae, even if only for every third day.

In southern CA we have rain, mudslide , drought then fire for our seasons.

depends on how you define “spring”…..

Try Colorado, We had a snowball fight on the 4th of July!

Kurt Vonnegut said we have six seasons:

Spring—May and June Summer—July and August Fall—September and October The Closing—November and December (I call it Falter) Winter—January and February The Opening- –March and April (I call it Springter)

The seasons make perfect sense if you view it that way. I miss ol’ Kurt…

God help the husband of Danae, because Danae won’t. I know 2 women who are like Danae and I always run to the restroom to avoid them. But Danae is the type that does not care about the men’s restroom nor anybody else.

I want spring! Raining non-stop for my “spring break!” :( Wiley hit it dead on.

Night… you are delusional. Lake Tahoe, that place that feeds California’s water system, set a 25 year record of snowfall. That was 3 weeks ago… Last week they just got dumped on another 6 feet! The ice at the poles has also been increasing. http://www.iceagenow.com/Areaofthickarcticicedoubledintwoyears.htm The climate is a always changing, but CO2 caused global warming is baloney.

It’s called Climate Change, not Global Warming. Get with the times! Global Warming is SOooo last century!

And seriously, do you people honestly expect that pumping as much pollution into the atmosphere, as we do, will have NO effect on the weather at all? SERIOUSLY? Who’s in denial here…

I nominate Danae for Emperor! She will MAKE Spring come!

Nabu, thanks for the info. I suspect you catch BBC News more than occasionally, or some other world-view newscast.

Beautiful sunny day here in southern Ontario with a high of 50F or 10C today, dropping to 25F Wednesday with 10-15 cm or 4-6 inches of snow, so I agree with Danae!

Spring ahead… Fall behind… Playing tricks… On the mind…

Snow today… Gone tomorrow… Dogs and cats… Homeowner’s sorrow…

Now too hot… Soon too cold… Mother Nature?… No, Man to scold…

Soon to see… Our last stand?… New beginning?… That’s Nature’s plan…

I grew up in Tucson Arizona and it did get down to freezing a few times every winter and snow every five years or so. I’m now living in South Florida. High temp today 78°F (25.5°C). Right now at 9:30 PM is 72° (22°). Summer and January the two seasons in Florida, LOL.

I never would have left Tucson, W6BXQ, John. Florida’s worse than Houston. Some day, I hope to get to Arizona - to stay.

Like someone else said, you’re in Maine. I have Portland on my weather spots it’s about 32. Just so you know Maine, It’s 80 here, but your airport says Welcome Home and only has one gift shop. It might be worth the cold.

Well, I’m in the midwest and there is still snow in my backyard and sleet on the way tomorrow. We had a very snowy winter and tho we’ve had a few nice days, it has been very slow to really warm up. The (very determined) pansies are in bloom in the yard tho.

At the risk of setting off the “is it, or isn’t it” debate, let me try to explain the theory of Climate Change (Global Warming).

Heat = Energy

The more energy in the system, the more chaotic it becomes. Which causes more extremes. Colder here, warmer there, wetter over yonder, and drier somewhere else. And then all those conditions play musical chairs.

Meteorological Chaos

Hey, Al Gore and Michael Mann! Where’s that global warming!? Seems like a cooling trend to me.

This week’s storm (so far) in SoCal, we’ve had 4-3/4” of rain above Pasadena; and Wrightwood at about 6,000’ASL just got 23” of snow; so it’s not over around here yet.

But with local water companies doing restrictions (due to a plant closing throttling MWD for several weeks) any moisture we get locally is welcome.

It’s just later in the year that all that new fuel will become fun…

Not that anyone will read this at this late date but… falcon_370f? Al Gore and Michael Moore… I mean really…

Not caring who’s on which side, but isn’t it rather sad to be riding a Hobby Horse through a comic strip?
