According to the weatherman, sometime between 9am and noon tomorrow, the temperature will reach 32 degrees and by 3pm will climb all the way up to 38. It will be the first time since the evening of January 2nd that the temperature here in middle Tennessee has gotten above freezing. According to the National Weather Service the last time that we had nine consecutive days of below-freezing temperatures was in  1899. That was 111 years ago.

It was warmer at McMurdo Station, Antarctica yesterday than it was in Nashville, TN.

As someone else has observed, when it’s hot it’s global warming; when it’s cold it’s just weather.

I think the percentage of folks in Middle Tennessee who believe in global warming has fallen with the thermometer.
