I keep hearing all this BS about Global warming.I can personally tell you that the weather here where I live hasn't changed in over 50 years.Just another rip off of the little people by a bunch of Political hacks.Disgusting to say the least.

Check here for what the temperature has actually done in your region.
They're gonna say "weather" is different from "climate." What they don't get is that "weather" defines "climate."
"Global Warming" is a catch-phrase. It doesn't mean squat if your part of the "globe" isn't warming, because then the warming isn't GLOBAL!

This one's easy! When the temp. of the ocean water goes up, so does the rate of evaporation. That increase in water vapor will fall as increased rain, Throw in the FACT that Winter will still effect the weather, the excess vapor will fall as freezing rain or snow. The storm that is putting up to 1 million people in the dark is a perfect example of how 'normal' weather can become extreme and deadly! Add to that,there is a sub-tropical storm pounding the Caribbean Islands. Not only is it long after hurricane season,it's a record for the amount of sub-tropical storms! A 'S.-T'. storm is normaly a very rare event. It's a very bad sign! If this storm stays on course,it'll hit the US during WINTER! It could be more deadly than Katrina! Freezing to death in a dark house isn't very much fun! We,here in the Pacific N.W., just got hit by a severe storm last week,and there are still whole towns in the dark ,and flooded! How many people have to die before the govt. and the stupid media get the picture? The freaks in this debate are the ones denying solid science, and what actually happening right in front of their eyes!

Weather.
Which part of the US are you in, I'll find you the data for the last 50 years. There are a few parts of the US that have shown a cooling trend over the last 50 to 100 years but not that many of them.
Whilst it may be cold where you are it's been unseasonably warm around these parts, tonight is the first night when it's been cold. Living high on a hill it shouldn't be unusual for us to have had snow by this time of year but it's 28 years now since the last December snow.
However, the warmth here means as little as the cold where you are. Global warming is about the global picture averaged over long periods of time. There will always be cold and hot spells, it's the global trend that's important.

EDIT: TO JBTASCAM
I guess you didn't read the question. The reason I stated 50 years is because this is the timeframe that Rick was referring to. It would have been pretty dumb when he's talking about 50 years for me to say I'll get the temperature record for the last 60 years, or 40 years or whatever.
And anyone who knows about climate knows that weather defines climate but that doesn't make them the same thing. A second defines a day, people define the population, blades of grass define a meadow etc etc etc.

The air born ash from the Iceland volcano contribute to the extreme cold by preventing some of the Winter Sun's Radiation from hitting the Earth's surface. The unusual movement of air may also be enhanced by differences in temperature between zones where the ash cause dimming and zones where it is not.

Global warming or climate change doesn't happen over night as some politicians would have you believe. We have been in a warming period for the last 10,000 years, since the end of the last ice age. And we will continue to be in a warming stage for another 10,000 years or more until we once again enter into a cooling period. But in the meantime we will have cold spells and heat spells all over the world. Day to day climate is different than global warming. The warming and cooling of the Earth are part of nature and have been happening since the beginning of time.

No, it's not just "winter." It's REGIONAL COOLING!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! Just kidding. It's much colder this year than it has been for about ten years past (we NEVER get four inches of snow in December here in VA).
Sorry guys, but if global warming isn't global, then you can't really call it "global," can you? These alarmists just parade the "average global temperature," while dismissing the fact that the entire Southern Hemisphere is failing to comply with their theory that the whole earth is supposed to be heating up.

It's called "Winter." It usually lasts from about mid-December to around the end of March. It is one of the four seasons resulting from the tilt of the earth on its axis and from the earth's orbit around the sun
It is also currently Summer in the southern hemisphere.

Scientists who study global warming are called climatologists. Your question pertains to weather. The people who study weather are called meteorologists. They would be able to tell you all about toughs and lows and highs and such. Go to a meteorology question area and ask there.

That's called winter weather.
Global warming is called GLOBAL warming.

I hate to break it to you, but the globe is a bit bigger than your backyard.
