Everyone across the US is getting snow, even Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. But my part of Indiana just got it's first measurable snow fall yesterday. We are two months PAST schedule for snow and it has been off and on again fall/spring like weather for months. Some of ours trees have even started to bud and my Live Forevers plants are starting to regrow! We are due for flurries this week, but nothing too major. I've grown up in Indiana and understand we have on and off again weather, but this is way to bizarre. Anyone have any ideas what's going on???

I am just as confused as you because I am in Oklahoma and we are experiencing disastrous winter storms. Some people blame global warming and others blame El Nino. Personally, I think El Nino is causing our freakish weather and global warming is causing El Nino.

I answered a question like this a couple of times so I'll give you the same answer:
This is the effect of global warming which is caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as gas and coal and the clearing of trees. Clearing trees increases carbon dioxide levels and scientists believe carbon dioxide levels will double before 2050 to 750 parts per million.
And no, strictly it shouldn't happen but there are too many pollutants in this world. Some people however believe this is a natural process for us to get crazy weather which will eventually turn back to normal.
In fact, January 2006 was the hottest January on record in Toronto. I however believe this is nothing to freak about and some people *cough* tree-huggers *cough* are too concerned over this issue. One thing is certain however, don't expect too many white Christmases from now on.

I went on a ski trip recently and driving through all that salt and sand mixed with dirty snow is rediculous and my car is too nice for all that so I would rather deal with out!!

it's nature, natural and messy. We don't control it.
