    This is a problem within the weather system, because going 5 continuous months without rain is ridiculous because of Global Warming, this changing a lot of the typical weather expected in the U.S is being thrown off because of this.

    Weather, especially with the increase in carbon dioxide, is a wild card. Even in muncie I never know if it is going to be snowing,raining, or windy outside.
