Feb 2013

the Northern Foothills of the Catskills. Been keeping records for 32 years and they show an increase of 1.6 degreesF from 1980 to 2013. There has also been a increase of moisture content during the same period, with the exceptions of the last two winters which are the lowest two I have on record. We were at 68% of annual total precip. last year. January was warmer than usual by 1.6 F, eerily the same as the overall average. We're in for a wild ride, my friends. What was that curse about living in interesting times?
