Thanksgiving coldest on record in the NEast

December 23, 1989. I don't know what happened in South Florida that day. All I know and care is what I witnessed on December 23, 1989.
For the people who never saw snow in Jax, it was a big deal. Me personally, I hated snow as I moved back and forth from Jax to Portsmouth and Norfolk as a kid. My dad of course, served on the USS Saratoga and Nimitz back then. Having to go to school on spring break and spending a week longer in school because of missed time due to the snow really sucked, for me anyway.

Correction, now that I look back, I don't think that's an article from The Florida Times Union. I tried looking for old articles but no luck on Christmas Eve of 1989.
I remember it snowing in GAINESVILLE when I was in school there. Houston gets snow every few years and it’s on the same latitude. I haven’t lived in Florida for a while but I didn’t think it was all that unusual in Northern Florida.

I looked up the record low in Miami and it is 30 degrees that same year. Christmas 1989.
 
In northern Florida, I do remember days being that cold in the winter but not snowing. In the 1983 Gator Bowl against Iowa, I do remember freezing that night. It wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the wind.

Warmists tell us one hot day in one city means the planet is on fire.

By that same logic, shouldn't one cold day in one city mean an Ice Age is coming?

I'm eager to see if some weather scientists have pegged a revisit of the Dalton Minimum for April. March in the CenTex seems to suggest these cats may be on to something. Time will tell us.

We will see the warmists switch back to being coldists within the next decade when they will go back to their roots and claim we have an Ice Age coming.

They will continue to be shocked that people don't listen to them.

Sunny

North Texas heaters will be on later this afternoon and tonight as warming continues.

Will @BSC911 have his AC on?

I'm watching 2020 closely. A number of scientists are predicting Solar minimums from mild to harsh beginning this year. Cooling. What will the Warmists do? A Solar minimum could prove devastating to the Warmists. We are indeed having some strange weather.

Want to bet it wont be a cold year?
 
Meh. I went skiing in June back in the 1980s.

That was post cooling, doesn’t count....we didn’t start warming until AlGore and Ted Danzen told us in late 89 that man was causing temperatures and seas to rise. AlGore started his own doomsday clock
 
Doomsday was averted when the voters said 'HELL NO' to freakin' Al Bore... ;)

So Al went out and invented the internet instead... :rolleyes:

Which he has since used to steal millions from the gullible sheep that still listen to this clueless huckster, that's following in the carpet-bagger traditions... :cool:

It's 47F on my patio. My birthday is 4-26. I was a Hemi baby. My birthday always sees turn on AC till October. The 30 days leading up to 4-26 always sees very little AC and heat use. I don't remember ever using heat so much leading up to this birthday.
 
It's was 36F at noon at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, the heart of the Comancheria. My feather merchant sister, the Fort Sill Apaches (different from all the other Apaches), Comanches, Kiowa aren't used to this. 39F is forecast for Waco tomorrow night. Is a Solar minimum upon us?
