We're coming extremely close this week in Oklahoma City. Your -30°C is -22°F. And your 14°C is 57.2°F. That's a temperature swing of 79.2°F. We tied the record for highest temperature on the day of the year last Saturday at 76°F. And the forecast is for 0°F today and tomorrow. Throw in the incoming blizzard, and that's doors off weather to rescue Jeep weather--in a span of three days.

its funny that people think global warming is BS because it still hits -60 in some parts of the world. yeah no shit. if it happened instantly we wouldnt be typing on a computer in our comfy chairs. its much deeper than that. just because its -50 somewhere doesnt mean the earth in general isnt getting warmer.

why do you think this winter has been so active and some would say historic? there is a huge difference in temperature from those artic blasts that we are getting, and all of canada is dealing with. then a sudden line where people in TX, AZ, FL, and the southern states have their top off and its 80.

the differences in pressues are making things go wild. im not supporting any political person. hell, honestly i have no idea who even said it that got the people all riled up about it a few years ago. there are facts out there that no one can deny. many say its just a cycle, man say all sorts of things. reguardless, the eco system, and the weather is telling us something is up

i hate the politcal aspect of it, because people take sides so quickly when a human face or a poltical figure is involved.

2010 has was the warmest year globally in hundreds of years.

you guys hearing about the rain thats been coming down in australia? they got like 3+ feet of rain after it was already flooded like crazy.

Im dont think its a something serious we will ever experience. but we will get a small taste of what our grandchildren will deal with.

its not politcial anymore, its scientific. basic, quick info..

Crap guys, that is not living, that is a sentence. I thought it was cold in Utah, were at around 14 for the high this week, but your temps beat us all to heck. That is why I am moving to Arizona the first chance I get.

But only in Alberta can you have that big of a temp gap within a week.

Thats nothing dude. I'll change mine so you can understand. If I could talk slower I would. We went from minus 22f to 57.2f.

Damn someone else is finally getting screwed by mother nature.


As for global warming go check out a glacier and see how much they have melted in the past few years. It's sad everytime we go to the one near bc it seems to dissapear.

Good old Chinook winds....go from -25C then in a 1/2 hr you are up to +10C.

Crap I remember Edmonton with my UofA days....some days in January would be -40C with a wind chill down to -50 to -55C....

It was not that cold here in Revy -16C but Relative Humidity was at 98% which makes it damn cold!
