Tell me about it!!!! This is just crazy, here we are, in the mid to high 40's. I wish it was like how it use to be 15/20 years ago.......the temp is always in the teens or single digits, usually a few inches of snow all season, with a few nice huge snow storms.....giving us a good foot or snow over night. Now, we're lucky to get a dusting of snow, and if we're lucky our "snow storms" consist of maybe 6 inches and chances are, it'll be melted away within a week. I guess it's just this global warming thing/greenhouse effect?? I don't know, but I'm not liking it at all. It's winter, and I want it to feel like winter!

Because it hasn't snowed! LOL! I'm kidding. I live in Michigan too. Don't worry, this warmer weather can't last much longer. I'm sure we're due to be hit pretty hard. You know how Michigan is it's nice one day and a blizzard the next.

It's too far North right now. Denver's the place for snow. Just think, Canada is the next vacation land after global warming gets rolling good. Vote for Al Gore in 2008 and get your snow back!

First of all the answer to your question is no, this years winter has nothing to do with global warming, or El Nino for that matter as mentioned in an earlier post.You cannot It is very hard to link one particular event to such an event. This years abnormally warm temps are due to a primarily zonal wind pattern that has kept artic air masses bottled up at the north pole. May I remind you that as of today (jan 1st) there is no significant signs that an el nino is occuring... As for the other post...The process you have described is not "global warming" the process you are refering to is the greenhouse effect. Shortwave radiation from the sun is absorbed by the earth and re-emitted as longwave radiation on the order of about 9 microns. This outgoing radiation is NOT "TRAPPED" nor "reflected" by greenhouse gases such as C02, methane, water vapor, etc. It is absorbed and re-emitted by these gases. Similar to what happens in a greenhouse, hence the name.

I live in Ontario right across from Detroit. There is no snow here, or in southern Michigan. It's too warm for it to snow. But, sadly, this snowless bliss won't last. It'll snow sooner or later.

the El nino is helping to give us warm temps. The jet stream is traveling rather far north than usual and is M?UCH faster than usual, not allowing the cold air to catch up eith the moisture when a winter storm does come through. I'm in Detroit, hopefully, we will see something soon.

Ohio State fans would tell you that Michigan is where Satan lives, and therefore not likely to have a "cold day" anytime soon ;)
