Crazy Weather

Hey everyone,

I was trying to figure out something interesting that I could post on this site that people hadn't really talked about yet. I think it's crazy to think about the fact that we were still getting snow until about two weeks ago - and there are some parts of the country still getting it now! I read that Minnesota was getting 18 inches of snow just last week. Crazy.

Anyways I found this fun article wrapping up the crazy weather that our country got in 2012. Here's the link.

This is what it talks about:
-The worst wildfires in Colorado history
-Alaska snow was so crazy, entire towns were buried.
-Florida had an awful drought - that seemed to disappear in record time.
-Heat waves across the country were all over the place.
-Overall, March 2012 had higher temperatures than April 2012.

How much do you guys think this ties into global warming? Snow seemed to be very temperamental this year as well, and now we are having things like a week of 70's followed by a week of 30's.

Thanks for contributing!
