It's April 7th, it's Boston, and it's 90 degrees already |

Thank God there's no global warming, otherwise we'd be screwn...

1. It's 90 degrees in DC too, and I refuse to turn on the AC |
|
At least it cools down at night now.

2. LOL.. we need some baggers in Colorado today.. |
|
It's like 70's out there right now, but last night is snowed. So it's 70's with snow on the ground. Let the baggers make something out of that! :rofl:

3. I remember an April back in the 1970s when it was in the 90s in PA too. |
|
It does happen from time to time.

and that Easter weekend the high was 94. I ran around trying to find shorts and light shirts, thought I was gonna die.
Two days later, it was back to a typical Boston spring, 40 degrees with drizzle.

6. That year sounds about right. |
|
I was helping my aunt and uncle move that weekend and I remember sweating buckets in the unusual heat.

14. No it's not unheard of. |
|
just because on this particular date the temp was a record, means zilch. I lived in Boston for years, and I remember very hot days in April- back in the seventies.

7. I don't suppose it will do any good to ask, but could folks stop linking daily temperatures |
|
to "global warming"? Temperatures fluctuate. Always have, always will. Looking at a single day's high or low tells you very little. Its been as hot or hotter in Boston in April before and it will be above or below average from time to time later in the month and throughout the year.
Its long term trends and extreme weather events that are noteworthy.

I thought they were bragging about their ability to live without AC. I guess I don't understand Americans.

9. Out here, I was shoveling SNOW this morning |
|
Now it's sunny, 60 degrees, and the snow is melted from the grass. If I'd known that was going to happen, I wouldn't have bothered shoveling. :mad:
For the record, the weatherguessers said we were going to get rain. Idiots.
