Actually you can do it in Indy too. Top down Thursday, cold front and storms Friday and ended up with 1/2" to 1" of nickel sized hail on the ground Friday evening. It may warm up again by the end of the week.

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law flew down here (Richmond, VA) in their small twin engine plane for the weekend from Kalamazoo ... they aren't even going to try to fly back today now. My wife is stranded in Toledo ... same wintery mess I guess. Gotta love the north country ... do I miss North Dakota winters and springs .... NO.

To answer the question, it is Global Warming that is causing these anomolies. It is playing havoc with our weather systems. Over the last 3 hundred years, we have radically changed our planet's weather systems - to the extent we have disrupted major systems like the jet stream among others.
And it will only accellerate as we increase in numbers (now 6 billion) and technolgical reach.

So without proof I will never beleive it! Ah, those that run around saying "the sky is falling the sky is falling...."
Well said my vette brother!!!!!

And we have. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, I would suggest to you that with the sheer quantity and quality of hydrocarbons we have been dumping into our atmosphere, we have made major changes to your planet's weather systems. Add to that the reduction by factors of 100 the forest cover that existed just 300 years ago and I rest my case. Granted, you can put your head in the sand and claim "No recorded data", but that statement, sadly, does not change reality.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, just suggesting we look a little deeper than the casual "weather man" diatribe.
