Where Oh Where Is It Spring?

Seriously, this has been one crazy year for weather.  Got a text message from my friend Connie back in New Jersey showing snow on the ground there.  Talking to my staff I found out that outdoor volleyball was canceled yesterday in Minneapolis and in Chicago they have 3" of snow with more forecast.  Here in Seattle we had our wettest March on record only to be followed with a quite dry April.  Alas, that will be put to rest over the next couple of days with all the rain coming in.  Just today we doubled the monthly rain total for the city.

Now, if you head south, talking to Damon in Las Vegas it is in the 90's and Phoenix, AZ hot over a 100 already.  No, it could not be anything close to do with climate change, it is just nature happening - right?  Hardly.  We have mucked up the planet so much we are in for a heap of trouble in the coming years and sadly, while we have come around a bit, a huge part of the planet does not seem to care.  Look only to India and China - they are following in all of our mistakes.  OK, time to get off my weather high horse!  Happy hump day to all.
