I;m here in Allentown, PA where we are awaiting the same storm that dropped snow on CA and Vegas. I couldn’t believe those pictures! Here a couple inches of snow just means you need to get up earlier for work but I can’t imagine what people who aren ‘t used to it must be thinking! I wish I were there it would have been like home for a little bit! lol… I hope the good people of SoCal and Vegas who woke up to snow knew how to use shovels!

It was the weirdest thing to see snow here in Vegas yesterday. I’m originally from the Midwest (Go Wisco!), and it was funny to see everyone freaking out. Especially those who have never seen snow. All the kiddies were playing it.

Although, I did not enjoy the drivers. It seems not many people out here know how to drive in it.

And get this, schools were cancelled today! It was really insane. I think they thought it was going to freeze because the roads were just fine when I went into work.

Atlanta, a week ago, felt like 35 degrees outside.

Today it’s about 70. I wore a short-sleeved shirt- very odd.

Kind of makes me happy since the last 5 days were like 20 below zero here in good old Montana. It’s finally above zero but not above freezing…

Oh the irony…I’m in Charleston, SC and we hit 78 degrees the past two days and are supposed to get to at least 80 tomorrow.
Granted Sunday it’s supposed to be 45ish which is more typical for this time of year…

I’m from Argentina and we are at 95/96 here hahahahaha. It’s been like this since November, you get a week and a half of this incredible heat then a couple of days of rain and maybe the temperature drops and then again with the hotness. Last thursday it was 109! And I take the subway to work yay! it’l like 120 down there hahahaha.
Last July it snowed here in Buenos Aires for the first time after 90 years. People were out in the streets playing with snow (we only get snow in the south part of the country) all happy and amazed, I was more worried than anything else. We have a glaciar in the south (perito moreno), people come from all over the world to watch it crack it’s an amazing thing but it usually does it every 4 years, this time it only took it two to start breaking and falling.
Though it worries me I agree that the weather has always been changing throught the history of our planet, but I’m not sure if it was this fast.
