We also broke the daily high temp,just 36 hrs after breaking the record cold daily temp! And we also broke snowfall records this week!

it's the wild extremes that will signal the extent of climate change .

Yea. Oregon and Washington have never experienced bad weather before. That's proof that man is causing global warming.
Wow! This is what's passing as objective science these days?

Ummmmm, this is a storm. Storms have been part of the world for far, far longer than humans have been keeping records. Imagine the biggest storm in 100 or maybe 120 years - compared to thousands or millions of years.
Of course our climate is changing - the earth has had two major ice ages (that means there were at least three warm periods - one before, one between, and one after the last ice age) and we've been warming on a relatively steady (think in thousands of years, not decades!) rate since. Thank goodness, or you'd be living in an ice cave and hunting seals!
This particular part of Colorado has been everything from an inland sea (shark teeth and clam fossils) to a swamp (dinosaur tracks) to a hardwood forest (pertrified wood) to moving sand dunes to long grass prairie to short grass prairie (current). Only the last one possibly two could have been in any way influenced by humans. The rest all occured before we got here. Sorry.

And three huge blizzards happening in Canada simultaneously ... the weather(wo)men looked pretty pale. None of them have ever seen anything like it before.
Yep, that's what 1.3 billion atom bombs worth of excess energy in the world's oceans does for you.

No. It's just short term weather.
But it is true that global warming will move precipitation north. So, long term the Northwest is likely to see more precipitation (which, of course, they don't need).

Yes. From now on, all big storms will be directly attributed to our CO2 emissions.
It's the new religion.
