Yesterday in Atlanta it felt like a mild Summer day. [View all]

Not Spring...SUMMER.

People were wearing short-shorts and light t-shirts. The outdoor seating at restaurants were packed last night. People were running, walking, and biking everywhere.

It's February 24th and so far we have missed the entire winter season.

I've lived in Atlanta since the early 90's and, although it's not the North, the winters here are typically in the 30's to 50's. On an average day the low would be around 35 and the high would be not much more than 50. Everyone would need coats and most people stayed inside the entire day. And, this would last from the beginning of November until the middle of March. But, not his year.

I have worn at least a light jacket no more than 7 times this entire season. I usually wear one everyday for 3-4 months.

This is not normal folks. How anyone can deny climate change after going through seasonal changes/temperatures like this is a really sick person.

Have a nice day!
