Below – Kansas too.

Garden City Telegram – Kansas

Anomalously warm temperatures gave many residents of southwest Kansas an early taste of spring and summer. Temperatures reached 91 degrees in Hugoton, 88 in Cimarron, 87 in Dodge City, 86 in Sublette, 85 in Lakin, 85 in Johnson City, 84 in Ulysses, 81 in Scott City, 81 in Leoti, 79 in Syracuse and 78 in Tribune.

Johnson said Dodge City’s high of 87 degrees, which was registered around 3:30 p.m., marks the second warmest maximum temperature ever reached in Dodge City during February. Dodge City’s previous Feb. 10 record was 80 degrees, which, like Garden City’s previous record, was in 1999.

The National Weather Service has issued red flag warnings for Kansas’ far western counties, meaning weather conditions capable of causing fires are either currently in effect or soon to occur.

2. Where are all of those "Where's the Global Warming?" folks now

The ones who always come out of the woodwork whenever a cold front comes through.

3. They greet me with "Isn't the weather nice?"

I grumble things like "It’s February. It’s supposed to be cold.”

4. No worries...

Jim Inhofe has a fridge full of snowballs.

5. That's a relief!

Because, frankly, we haven’t been getting the usual amount of snow 'round these parts.

[font face=Serif][font size=5]Rising Temperatures Threaten Fundamental Change for Ski Slopes[/font]

Under certain warming forecasts, more than half of the 103 ski resorts in the Northeast will not be able to maintain a 100-day season by 2039, according to a study to be published next year by Daniel Scott, director of the Interdisciplinary Center on Climate Change at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

By then, no ski area in Connecticut or Massachusetts is likely to be economically viable, Mr. Scott said. Only 7 of 18 resorts in New Hampshire and 8 of 14 in Maine will be. New York’s 36 ski areas, most of them in the western part of the state, will have shrunk to 9.

6. They'll still be denying man-made climate change

Even if the Dust Bowl comes back.
