And you don't think that may have something to do with the incredible increase in concrete and asphalt poured over that particular geographical location.
Here, have a look at Weatherford, Tx...just a skip and a jump to the east. A location that hasn't had a trillion tons of concrete and asphalt poured over its surface. These trend graphs go back to the 1950's. Note that when you got there, the cooling trend in your area was almost a decade old
Here are the unadjusted temperatures for all USHCN stations in Texas and Oklahoma.
Your region isn't getting hotter and is in fact, cooling. You just live in a rapidly growing concrete and asphalt heat sink. When you feel like you are living in unprecedented climate times, refer to the facts rather than your flawed, and very short memory and you will find that your climate is quite pleasant compared to what it has been in the past.
Hey man....outstanding post. Very interesting stuff! Wonder how that effects NYC? People who have never been here cant begin to imagine the area of buildings we have here as compared to other cities. You drive by Philly in about 5 minutes it's so puny by comparison.....gotta have a similar impact on temps!
