Whew! We haven't had but three days over 75 degs. 14 days over 65
degs. Fairbanks is flooding with it raining everyday for weeks. I
haven't had one ride with just my tank top on and been wearing chaps for
warmth. The odd thing this weather brought out the black and brown bear
population resulting in lots of maulings in the Anchorage to Denali Park
region.All the great salmon fishing was two to three weeks late and the
giant Mat-Su Veggies ain't so big. I need some bike time in the lower 48.

I missed summer this year too......one of the hottest on record for us with
number of days over 110....
But it did rain more than it has in 10 years or more....

Yup. Have a look at this: http://www.climatethermometer.com/
Fairbanks and San Francisco look much colder than usual, while Phoenix
looks a lot hotter over the same period of time.

Exactly.......and that's the problem with calling it "Global Warming", skeptics
act like since the "warming" is suppose to be "global" and since it's not
actually warmer everywhere......that "global warming" doesn't exist and the
folks who try to do something about it are bleeding leftist liberal nutjobs.
Usually they (folks who don't believe it) think like they do because of
intentional campaigns of disinformation by people/corporations with interests
that will be hurt by actually doing something about it......and they're fed that
stuff by fair and balanced news outlets like faux news.....
The actual warming may not be right where you're standing......or in the next
town.....but the warming is happening in places that matter because it ends up
changing climate/weather patterns in other places......
Very small changes in temps in the oceans are enough to effect currents, which
in turn effect weather.......
We're doomed I tell ya.......doomed......<sfsf>
