A weather pattern partly linked with the ‘El Nino’ phenomenon has turned winter upside-down across the U.S., bringing spring-like warmth to the Northeast, a risk of tornadoes in the South and so much snow across the West that even skiing slopes have been overwhelmed.
From CBS News:
In a reversal of a typical late December, forecasters expect New York to be in the mid-60s this weekend — several degrees higher than Los Angeles.
The mild conditions have helped golf courses in New England do brisk business, but the pattern comes at a steep cost for ski resorts that have closed and for backcountry skiers who confront avalanche risks. And many Americans complain that it just doesn’t feel like the holidays without a chill in the air.

El Hashem! The weather is up to Hashem, not the month on the calendar! Thank You Hashem for this extra warm weather – we are enjoying it. Now, of course we are waiting for the most important “untypical” change in the system MOSHIACH!

Um, why would the earth’s core heat up? What could possibly cause that?
