and the 82 a couple weeks ago your way wasn't "out of the ordinary"? or perhaps the last seven years of warmer than "normal" winters?

perhaps the changes in gardening growing maps hasn't gotten you to thinking?

maybe the death of the herd of elk in your northwestern parts (last year, 1500) weren't enough?

i'm sure although you're having a week of cooler temps you've contacted your states agricultural and scientific partners to see how life is really shaping up in your state?

you border what lake? superior? hasn't that lost one or two feet of water due to changes in temps?

have you checked with the weather bureau in your state to see what changes there are in your water levels (underground)?

have you checked to see which trees are growing north of where they have grown? why is that? (no, it's not the wind or animals transporting seeds).

or are you simply checking your temperature today and saying "oh they're scared"?
