The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that 2006 was the warmest year since records began being kept in 1895.
That's from a news article this morning.
We should not only save trees but PLANT some........

Danon,
we are having a warm winter too. Or better no winter at all. 17C in January.
Right now I have to teach about snow and winter sport. Very funny.
Clicked.
Wow, the weathers been freezing in CA - today a bit warmer but the news reports say snow tomorrow.
Shopped for groceries, plus critter food {finches, canaries, deer, hummingbirds, wild birds} kittens and me - just in case there is a storm and i'm housebound for a few days. Awww!
ul and Dan, also heard there may be el nino to blame for the weather. I'm guessing a bit of both - global warmings serious business.
Also received a notification from an advocacy group that won thier suit against the administration for allowing gross polluters carte blanche. A federal judge ruled gwb illegally acted for industry instead of the health and welfare of citizens. Finally! That and documentation that respritory illness on the rise. Increasing also - asthma affecting more and more kids.

ul and Stradee, I've been looking at the temps in your areas - it's a really unusual year isn't it.?......
Yes, I have heard this years El Nino is having an effect. But, doesn't it seem that we are having many more El Ninos than we did in the past?? The same report also said that scientists are becoming more assured that at the same time we are coming under the influence of severe global warming due to atmospheric gases.
Right you are - it's the old combo effect.

Once people thought a comet were the reason for all weird things to happen.
Right now there is a bright comet to be seen.
I tried to catch a glimpse of the comet C/2006 P1 (McNaught) tonight, but unfortuntely the sky was cloudy.
Comet over Graz
So, quoting a line from a theaterplay,
Die Welt steht nimmer lang...
ul, photos of the comet from Austria.

Dan, it will be interesting seeing what the winter holds weatherwise for the mountains and bay area.
Yes, Stradee, it certainly will.

This morning - as we watched the news on the Today Show - a moth flew onto the TV screen. I said to Patti, "That is really the most unusual thing - this is January. There aren't supposed to be moths here."
Thanks for the comet links.........

They are great.
commetted to click for trees........ :wink:
Dan, well ya never know anymore what critters will appear that generally hybernate or migrate during the winter months. Placed a few feeders for birds during their migration, and they haven't gone anywhere! Cannot believe the amount of brightly colored finches visiting each day!
Plus, the deer are keeping the hedges nicely trimmed.
Kinda funny what happened yesterday evening. Went to the door to call Mz Bella home, and there at the bottom of the stairs feeding from the pellet bin, the male deer. Never saw an animal lift off of all fours, sail sideways, and disappear quickly with almost no sound except where hoofs met rocks.
Me =
Deer =
When winter rains subside, the pellet bins relocating to the north forty.

A Story of Love, Compassion, Friendship & Loyalty
About eight years ago a wild Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoo flew into a car and broke it's wing. The motorist took it to the Vet in Nerang, Queensland, who had to amputate the wing. We adopted her - for which we needed a National Parks and Wildlife permit - and kept her in a cage outside where she was often visited by wild Cockatoos. One of the things that impressed us was how she would push lettuce leaves through the bars of the cage, offering food to visitors.

Nice story and pictures, stradee.
I have been to a wonderful concert tonight.
Then we walked home, starry night and 11 C /52F-
