Getting ready to go fishing tomorrow here for the MN walleye opener. According to official records this will be the first time in 11 years there was still ice on lakes on the opening of fishing (second weekend in May).

Another anecdotal, it's freezing, not literally, here in Chicago area.

Lows 42, High 62 next 5 days and nights.

Could you send some of the cooling THIS WAY? 95 yesterday and the same today. I'm starting to think Global Warming is happening specifically HERE.

Wish I could. It just made it to 61 today and now falling. I've got a door open, but wearing my fuzzy slippers, jeans, and long sleeve sweater. I just have to let some air in!

I have come to the conclusion as of today that 48 is probably a most excellent age to stop running 3 miles when it's 95 degrees out. Needs to cool down to at least 90 or so.

Hey, gunny, it'll be good tomorrow for a run. High 80's low 50's. One day cool front for us. Lol.

No shit. I've been making fun of that for 3 days. Cool front = 88 instead of 95. Thanks, The Weather Channel.

GunnyL,
Move out to Washington State--Mother's Day--walked the dogs this morning: Temp' was 40 with a twenty knot wind so it felt like somewhere near thirty. Had the second most snowy winter on record this year.

Grew up in South Florida and well remember that 90 degree stuff. You can keep it, along with all the bugs.

I lived in Miami most of the 70s, so I know what you mean, but I'm just the opposite. You can keep that cold. Spent many a hot summer day diving off the pipes into the canals or at the beach or Elliot Key.

Running sucked there too.

Fishing was good Saturday, though cold and overcast and rainy which by mid-afternoon had turned to snow, yes SNOW on May 10th.

I was a kid back then and friends with a Navy UDT/Seal and his younger brother who taught me how to dive. We'd hit places from Palm Beach to the Keys, but our favorite spot was Hollywood Beach. I remember the water having a thermal plane for the first several feet and then the temp dropped off very dramatically below the thermal plane. We'd stay down until hypothermia set in, and our hands started shaking really bad, then come up and lay in the sun to warm up. We'd cross the street and refill our tanks for a buck and do it all again. Palm Beach had a few wrecks in close to shore, fun to drive but never failed had a great barracuda hanging around it that always wanted to get in close and look into your mask.

Sweet! I've been waking at 5 to get the sunrise bite everyday for the last week. The Redfish and Spotted Trout are starting to heat up in the SC lowcountry and I've been catching some slot sized fish everyday, and even the bull Red (20+ pounds) are in the harbors now. The fish are loving the global warming we have in SC. How was the walleye fishing?

It was really quite good. Spawn is really behind because of the weather so all the fish are still on the nesting beds in shallow water.

Good deal. Largemouth actually spawed early this year, yet the seatrout and reds are still bedding in the deep fast water. I'm tracking a few schools of spotted seatrout right now and they are in full spawn mode.

What's funny, is that Chicago will have one tiny heat-wave in late July and August and then the Global warming activists will have it plastered all over the news...."Chicago is feeling the effects of global warming first hand as temperatures reach 90 degreess!!" LOL.
