Same here Northern CA, BUT, that means nothing. This past winter, the east
coast of the US and much of Europe experienced record LOW temperatures. Here
in the SF Bay area, we often have our first heat wave in April, so it's not
unusual The fact that any SINGLE day or set of days has record temperatures
for THOSE dates is irrelevant. Next week it might rain and we'll have record
low temperatures for that date. Don't act as if you haven't seen these
weather patterns before, John. Its not that I'm disputing climate change, but
these types of temperature swings have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
