"Winter chill" is the number of hous the termperature is at or below
45F. I generally measure from 1 November to 31 March. The average for
my area is about 330 hours. Two years ago, however, we got only 127
hours. Last year it was only 102 hours with the first chill occuring
late on Christmas day.

This year seems to be reverting back to normal. Our first chill was in
mid-November. So far, we have had over 50 hours of chill.

Just because we are having a normally cold winter does not mean there is
no human-induced climate change. "One swallow does not make a summer."

Especially since those of us living in the northern states have yet to
experience actual winter weather. We've had only a handful of days where
the temps dropped below freezing, maybe two where it got down to the
teens. None at all where it reached zero or below. Our grass is still
green, for pete's sake - and I live in Minnesota.


All due to climate change - more of a problem than ISIS.
