Strange Weather?

[Alison]

I've noticed that here, some fruit trees are starting to blossom. What's strange is that it's officially Autumn, and they are supposed to start blooming in Spring.

Anyone noticed similar where you live? Odd things happening?

Iceland had a national record breaking summer last year. For once it actually went over 5 degrees celsius, just kidding it was actually around 30° something.

Very odd for Iceland. what's the usual winter temp?

Indeed very erratic for a subarctic country.

[Tabiti]

It happens here almost every autumn and old people say that's a sign for freezing winter, but seems that is not so true, at least not always

[Bloodeagle]

Wow, you guys are pretty warm for a subarctic country. Why don't you have trees?

The trees are short but we have vast forests.

It was below freezing here a couple nights ago. Normally its in the 50-75 range this time of year.

We have had two months of spring already in Europe, strange weather to say the least, a sunny and warm april, and a cloudy, wet and cold may. So much for global warming...
