Why Are Temperate Zones the only NORMAL TEMPS LATELY? (Rochester: showing, trip)

What happened to the Four Seasons? The weather is crazy for the past decade. Maybe the idea of Global Warming is NOT just a conspiracy, eh? We used to have (Michigan) the regular average temps with Spring= lite rain, cool temps, then came June= hot, sunny. Winter-snowing and cold.

Just last week for Mid-July = we get this few days 90+, then 62, then 85, next day 70, 52 at night WTF kinda summer temps is that? Gawd, sick with a cold, bronchitis, from falling asleep w/fan furing the 88 night...wake up at 3 a.m. it damned near snowing outside with 52 showing on the thermostat. ANYBODY REMEMBER WHEN YOU KNEW WHAT KINDA CLOTHES TO WEAR OUTSIDE?

I have no doubt the earth is warming, just no evidence as to why. We went to car races last night, was hot in tee shirts, put on sweat shirts, went home in coats. lol

Hello, it's summer. It can get hot. It can also cool down. You get sick, then you get healthy again. I recommend Halls cough drops.

"This is Planet Earth" - Duran Duran
... I'll be listening to that when I return home next week. Don't run me over with your SUV on Rochester Road because you are whining about the weather in your SUV on your local trip to Target.

It's summer. Enjoy the new Big Boy at Rochester and Tienken, cruise Woodward (or avoid it ... too many idiots out), and watch the boats in St Clair Shores. Chilly? Take a jacket.

Life could be worse ... you could be sleeping WITHOUT A/C when it's 88 at night (my parents' A/C unit died at the beginning of the summer of 2000, and it took weeks to fix for some reason). Or, you could be here in mid-state Illinois, waking up to the hot blazing sun every day.

It gets chilly, and my parents go up to the UP. 50 degrees in summer? It's too cold for me. They don't have AC there though, so when it gets hot, only the lake breeze and a cool shower assist.
