Has The Winter Dragged On This Year? Has It Been Colder Or Warmer?

hi! here in my area the winter was and it is still colder than the last year and there were and still is more snow. few days ago the weather was really good about 20 degrees, the birds were singing and all the things that are common for the spring, but 2 days ago it began snowing and it doesn't stop, it snows already two days and even now it is snowing. it is 9th of March, but it looks like January! the climate goes really "crazy" and I think it is a cause from the Global warming!

Awww Janey, Im SO sorry you're having all that snow and cold weather!! Ok I'll admit, Im grinning now haha!! Hey cant blame me, can you.....Im in Canada and we usually have our share of snow and cold but this year, we decided to be nice to everyone and give away our snow to our neighbors to the south and across the pond also. haha.....sorry I cant stop laughing haha!! Ok so Ive stopped giggling now.....we have a few patches of snow left here and there, not much, will probably have all melted by the end of the day. We didnt get much. They say its a record!! Its also quite warm here now. Also a record. I dont care, I dont mind it at all. I love global warming if thats what is is. Bring it on I say!! The birds are chirping, I think the trees will be blooming very soon. Ive seen a few flies (annoying) but yup, looks like spring is here early and me a happy camper . Cheer up, it'll be back to normal next year for you guys!! I need to come up with a new "give away snow dance" for next year!!

I really don’t know how much is true about this global warming thing and how much of it is hype but the past year has been unusually high for us both in summer and winter. As it is India is a summer country and we have high scorching heat but last year in my city it was the highest temperature of the decade. Same for the winter…it was probably the coldest in decades and it came much before its time and the duration was more than usual too! This year too the forecast for summer is higher temperature than previous year…don’t know about winter yet but then we are having extremes of both summer and winter…do you think that’s coz of global warming?

It sure seemed to drag on for Me here in N.Ireland..My Oil central heating was on the Fritz most of December and into January-seems the Maintenance guy didn't want to come out from his house,it was so cold!..just as well I have an open fire that kept me going til it was fixed..The grass outside is still frosted here at night for now..

Except for a couple of really cold days, ie below freezing, I'd say it has been warmer than normal here. Either that or my blood is thickening...

Well from someone down south where it’s been a little warmer I will happily swap. I love winter, cold nights, crispy air and snow even though it usually forces me to remain even more house bound than normal. Compared to the last 10 years I suppose this winter does appear to have dragged on, but then I remember with fondness the winters from childhood which went on much longer and so I quite like the return to a proper wintery season. I do wonder if this is the start of 10 years of proper winters so to speak before we then get another shift back to warmer winters.

Hi Janey, I am fed up with it too, I am in Sussex and while we are experiencing a few days of sunshine but it will al change to rain, yes, it is still very cold and its icy first thing in the morning, can't wait for the spring, why they call it global warming when its freezing cold. Tamara

The winter seems to be ending now, 5 degrees plus and ice everywhere. Quite disgusting really. We haven't had a lot of snow this year, Southern Norway has had a lot though, much more than usual. They're having problems in the west too, and the North has been really cold, but we've had a quite nice winter. The coldest day for 50 years was a couple of weeks ago, but I'll take -20, white snow and blue skies before 0 degrees and slush any day. As for global warming, it hasn't been warmer, but there's been som extreme weather here and there.

in the united states, or at least the east coast, we've been having abnormal snowing as well. school closed for 1 week because of the latest snowfall we've had, and you can still see the snow piles on the curbs even in march. i'm not sure about anywhere else though. funny to see the snow is high in Europe too.
