Record Highs/Record Lows
Last week we set a new record high here in Iowa City, of (I think) 93
degrees. Tonight they are predicting record lows in the low 20s -- a swing of 70 degrees in a week. Prior to the arrival of those temperatures, they're calling for wind gusts to 50 mph. We've gone from flying -- and sweating -- with all the vents open, to plugging in the engine oil heater and putting together our winter survival kit. We may be shovelling snow before we have to rake the leaves! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Why in God's name you people live in such places is beyond me.
Sure it gets hot around here in the summer but we only see weather like that in the coldest parts of the winter.

Uh, 27 degrees Fahrenheit for an overnight low is NOT considered extreme, unless you were born and raised in an equatorial climate. Besides, warmer climates in the US have their own bag of problems, including really big insects and too many people. -- Peter |

Our lows are running in the 50s. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

It wouldn't be the first time it's snowed here in October. I've got
pictures of us as kids Trick-or-Treating in several inches of snow. It'll melt before winter really gets here. Jim |

Oh, My God, Its GLOBAL WARMING!!!!
But can anybody explain why the whole solar systems is getting warmer? Why have the Rovers on Mars had more power than they were calculated to have and thus have run years longer than expected? I seem to remember that Rapid City, SD had a 60 degree temperature swing several times on one day. The explanation was that the front moved around the mountain and they got hat and cold passage several times.
