Looks like a wet gloppy snow, sure sign of warming.

NOAA reports that there has been no measurable average worldwide temperature increase since late 1998. Not sure what to make of that.

Just checked your link. We had this show on our TV a couple of weeks ago.Sure caused a stink amongst some pro campaigners.Never did believe this rubish myself.

However. Today I checked in on the Fox News Channel that we have over here. Seems that you folks in the north east are in for another spell of global warming weather. No need to 'chill out' this weekend. Nature has done it for you.

Default Not This Year
These were from last year or the year before. Now all you northerners remember this is south of the Mason Dixon, not the heart of Dixie but 100 miles from the Capital of the Confederacy. When we get this much snow the area SHUTS DOWN. Unlike in the north where they just put on another layer of clothes and pack the kids off to school.


Had to dig out the tractor just to start the driveway.

We're looking at up a foot of snow by Friday morning. Add that to last weeks 20 inches and global warming sure isn't alive and well here in New England.

Thats quite a storm. I'll bet everything ground to a halt that day. I spent over 20 years in New Mexico, and on the rare occasion it did snow it was never more than 5 inches and it never stayed more than a few days. I remember twice in 20 years getting more than six inches of snow. But even two or three inches would shut schools down and make it extremely unsafe to drive! Never in my life have I seen people who drove that poorly in "inclement weather". Better to just stay home.

up here in alaska we look forward to the first good snow of the year. the drive home is terrible. it will take me 3 hours to drive 40 miles. during that snow all the southerners (WA state and south) crash thier cars in the ditch, after this we can drive like normal 60mph on snowy roads the rest of the winter.. some time around February they get their cars out of the shop and learn to drive.

There must be a contingent of Alaskans here in Maine, as when I'm tooling along in the middle of a blizzard at 35 mph, people are always blowing by me at 60 or so.
