Over at Jeff’s place, in early June, I noted that long-range forecaster Joe Bastardi was predicting that the northern tier states might experience a year without a summer–a prediction he made based on observations of solar activity, which, apart from northern tier state-dwellers was likely to hit hardest Global Warmongers.

Yeah, we kind of are. I love cool weather, and I’ll take cold over hot, mostly. But now it’s July, and we’ve got highs in the 60s, and I find myself missing the 80s and 90s.

Degrees, that is. Not decades.

What the hell? Madison set a new record-low high temperature yesterday. The old record was 109 years old.
