Default Where do sign up for the early spring?

Gee, that's great that people in CA and TX have an early spring. Meanwhile the rest of the country will be spending Easter shoveling.

Here's one version of the article to explain (from USAToday.com): Spring keeps coming earlier for birds, bees, trees

Care to explain, anyone?

Do an Al Gore and become the president of a company that provides carbon credits than put out a movie about the impending doom of the earth due to global warming. I'm not saying there could be a strange link there, just a good idea.

Apparently some whackos said the environment is always changing. Through the history of the earth some periods of time have been colder or hotter.

We've had more snow this year than any year I can remember. It snowed a little this morning. It never snows in late March here. In the 90s I recall having February temperatures reach into the 60s quite often as well as November temps. But in recent years, it hasn't warmed up until May, and get very cold in October. Personally I miss those years we had short winters. (at the time I hated them, but I am wiser and colder now)

In the last six months or so, I have seen a drop in the GW hype. (percieved maybe) But I think people are starting to realize that the Earth fluctuates, no amount of flourescent light bulbs is going to stop that. And Al Gore is not savior, he is laughing all the way to the bank. (Oscar in hand)

We had record snow in Ohio... 20 inches... it was called a 100-year snow... its all melted now... must of been global warming that melted it by all the CO2 emitted from those who are lighting their fireplaces... or it could of been the sun... I think I will pick the least reasonable answer according to the eco-freaks..... the sun...

And I nearly froze last night and walking to work this morning. Early spring has become late winter.
