<p>So this is now a global warming post.... </p><p>When I was a kid growing up in Western New York in the 1980s and 1990s, we had snow that would stay. I could build a snow fort with my dad that would last a month and get taller by the end of March.</p><p> In 1985 or 1986, all the snow melted for a day and it turned 80 degrees, in MARCH!</p><p> In 1995, I didn't have any snow in my backyard for three weeks in January. It only rained.</p><p> In 2005, I could walk through my neighborhood with only a light jacket, on Christmas Day.</p><p> This year, one week in February was as cold as I could ever remember -- four days with single digits and sub-zero windchill.</p><p> In the 1660s there was a mini Ice Age in which the Swiss thought their homes would be swept away by glaciers and many important food crops failed. </p><p> In the 1930s, the Great Plains of the U.S. faced the longest, dryest period in the past 200 years, we had the "Great Dustbowl."</p><p>And what ever happened to the hole in the Ozone layer?</p><p> You know, this is all anecdotal evidence. No one is going to be able to prove or disprove global warming or its causes any more than the same team of scientists can prove the existence of God. It will take decades to accumulate the evidence to "prove" anything.</p><p>I'm not saying it isn't so, I'm just saying it does sure seem different out there and I don't know why. </p>
