So with record high temperatures on the Eastern Northers Seaboard but also including Europe this Christmas a is cyclists blessing in a special way. If that's good for "us" on long term is very very debatable so. Py's says: "That perfectly falls into the category global extreme weather scenarios" caused by more global on average seemingly small man made changes we can not revert just make more or less faster worse from now on. Just wait for the opposite when the arctic "vortex" [what a word, sounds like sci-fi and time travel to me] hits back and almost every one complains while taking the warms even the lack of snow some may dislike. El Nino is a fact and an old well known and reoccurring temporary shift of air flow pushing the cold back up North. However, this one so is and seam to break records on all scales from it's effect. How long will it last -- I do not know.
Now there we are in December, Christmas 24th/25th -- but also the recent weeks and days to come look unchanged warm with some rain.
This today -- nothing I need to add:
Merry Christmas!
and even a notch warmer, but wet from heavy rain 23/24 --20C -- supposed to be more 20F:
And now judge your self -- some thing is wrong here -- or not?
