[DungeonMaster]

Nonsense.

[butlerweave]

call it extreme weather or vortex but it’s still weather

[circlecity]

I’ve read that there were more frequent and more severe hurricanes in the 1920s and 1930s.

[ABN 505]

Forgot about the Blizzard of 88, and I don’t mean 1988.

[Battle Axe]

In one of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books, when I believe she was living in DeSmet, there was a blizzard that blew the town full of snow. Up to the second story of the house she said. Then it blew it all away. It was in the 1880’s.

I always wondered if this was the recollection of a half starved, sleepy child.

That sure explains the East Coast Blizzard of 1888...as well as the great Ice Age, when glaciers a mile thick in some spots came as far south as present day northern tier states...

[Robert DeLong]

To top it off, it was just announced that 2015 was the warmest year on record for Earth, topping the old record set in 2014.

According to NOAA & NASA, however, the satellites (which have no agenda) dispute both of them, as well as, you Mr. Weatherman Forecaster. Neither of them were the warmest on record.

:: Perhaps some could counter with stories of bigger storms prior to 1964 when I was born ::

More proof that socialists consider the “start” of history on their, specific birthday.

Greek Republic? Roman tyranny?
Didn’t happen.
Because...1964

[Blood of Tyrants]

So how do they explain the dearth of hurricanes to hit the US in the past 10 years?

[nickcarraway]

The last storm that was worst than Jonas was in January 1996. And it was a lot worse than this.

[PJammers]

Weather and climate are not the same thing. A “weatherman” knows nothing about climate. Heck, most of them can’t even get the weather right.

[Darksheare]

Blizzard of 1888.

[Dennis M.]

I have been studying liberals for years and they are getting more extreme and delusional.

[greene66]

Ludicrous. One of the things I loathe most about people who fall for this climate-change idiocy is their idiotic, self-absorbed mindset that they are the first to ever experience ‘weather.’ It’s a crazy, self-serving mindset and perspective that blankets so many issues. That all the various historical and cultural markers somehow began with their own individual entries. There’s something so pathetic and distasteful about it, and it just feeds various degrees of liberalism and relativism.

[TexasFreeper2009]

BS

The hurricane that destroy Galveston in 1900 was pretty extreme.

[Darksheare]

The Great Blizzard of 1899.

[ctdonath2]

About 20 years ago began the deluge of news detailing every event everywhere, giving the impression of an upsurge of extreme when it’s really just expanded awareness of normal event variations.

[3boysdad]

So... what is the weather supposed to be like then? What is “perfect weather” and can man control it? Hmmmmmm....

[PeterPrinciple]

How old is the meteorologist? For many people, history is what they have lived.

[gorush]

So, who is your go-to weather guy...Joe Bastardi or Jeff Smith?
