Is this year an anomaly for NWA

wow, I was born and raised in So. California and graduated from San Diego State University: try telling the people who live near the ocean that isn't fog they are seeing or tell the girls going through sorority rush even in east San Diego it is just a marine layer when their hair goes straight in the early morning.

Are you SERIOUSLY attempting to compare San Diego, California to NWA???

Wow. No, she was simply providing an example of a place that people consider to be "all sunny" that also has fog.

You've made some pretty strange claims about NWA and Fayetteville. I don't know what you are getting at or what is driving you to post.

You stated that NWA is covered by a gloom like nowhere else in the world for the entire winter. That is nothing at all like my own experience in the 7 years I've lived in Fayetteville. There is more winter here than in Texas. Yes. But its not some special layer of impenetrable cloud cover that lasts for months on end, as you characterized it. That's absurd. You are exaggerating....a lot. We have more cloudcover than Texas in winter. We also get more rain. That's why we have more trees here and don't suffer from the same severe drought cycles like the one that has forced Lake Travis to ridiculously low levels for most of the past five years.

Guess what? MOST of the U.S. east of the Rockies has more cloud cover and rain than Texas. Fayetteville gets plenty of sun. There is no strange meteorological phenomenon at work here as you have strangely suggested. My only way of understanding your postings is that you are unhappy here, and/or that you have nothing in your experience to compare NWA to other than your native area of Texas.

Why would you make a statement like that? Of course I am not comparing NWA with San Diego in any way, except to mention San Diego has a lot of fog, anyone who thinks it doesn't hasn't really lived there. Anyone can claim they have lived in a place, but sometimes their statements make it a little hard to believe.

It's an anomaly. Has to be the worst winter in years. I remember the university closing for about a week in Feb 1989; when that happened it was the first time in many years. Then it closed down for a day in 1994. But there have been more lost school days this winter than I have ever seen around here.
