    Right.. We had a high of 6c today (43f) with them bouncing
    back and forth if we were going to get rain, snow or freezing
    rain overnight as it drops to -1c (30f) so, it's a little hard
    to get through my head that spring has sprung.. B)

    I remember those days, having grown up in Detroit, MI where the weather conditions
    changed quickly. We moved to the Fort Lauderdale area in 1981 and have never looked
    back.

    We now live in the Tampa, FL area where it tends to get about 7-10 degrees cooler on
    average than we were used to. We still maintain warmer weather on average than the
    rest of the U.S., but not nearly as warm as it has been in California laltely.

    I saw a story on 60 Minutes tonight where conspiracy theorists claim that our sever
    storms are caused by weather doppler radar stations. I kind of wish that were true
    because we would have a way to provide rain to places that need it and eliminate the
    severe weather that seems to be more prevalent now than ever before.

    Of course, that is all a crock.

    Yes, if we were able to control the weather, well, who knows what we
    would end up with. Some may argue with me but a lifetime of experience
    has convinced me that there is sort of an 'amount' of weather that
    is spread around so if it's warmer than normal in one spot it will
    be colder than normal in another.. or if you have a colder than usual
    winter you'll have a hotter than normal summer..

    This was a pretty rough winter and the long range predictions are
    for a hotter than normal summer. I just wish it would start! B)

    In the original you noted that it was warmer in the West than it
    is in Florida.. I mentioned how unusually cold it was this week
    here in Ontario, but on the West Coast in B.C. they are complaining
    because it is mid 20's C there (near 80F) and it's so early they are
    not used to it yet so it feels hotter than that.

    Some of these crackpots have even gone as far as to threaten destruction of these stations and harm to weatherforecasters. :(
