The Barn by Ralph Hagen for February 19, 2015

“Hope springs eternal.”

March 21. Give or take.

Chilly here too, only 17ºc.

At 7 AM the temp is 5° F. Wind chill -6° F. More snow on the way.

I guess hoping for summer is a bit of a reach.

-43 wind chill here in Manitoba.

Hope that tomorrow is spring.

In Central Ontario we’re 32*C wind chill-it’s 9 am right now; and it’s supposed to get colder as the day goes on. Yesterday was actually kind of mild at -14*C; I was actually able to walk my dog without his feet getting too cold.

we’ve got spring out west, trade you straight across for some of that stored water.

Said with tongue frozen in cheek, I trust?

You got that right, Rory!

6 PM in Central PA, 10 degrees, low tonight is to be minus 5, and that isn’t the wind chill, that’s the temp. Then kick in the wind chill. BRRRR!!!! Sure using a lot of oil even with an electric space heater.

I’m waiting for someone to claim that this cold weather debunks “Global Warming” (Climate Change). So many people just don’t get it. (I mean the theory itself, not whether it is correct, or what’s causing it. That’s a separate debate.)

From a Google Search of something I caught just a piece of today:

“The year 2014 now ranks as the warmest on record since 1880, according to an analysis by NASA scientists. The year 2014 ranks as Earth’s warmest since 1880, according to two separate analyses by NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists.”
