Climate Comments

How's that Algore thing working out for you? Saw the headline that Chicago will get more than two feet of snow and marking it as worse than the blizzard of '67. I was in town for that one on leave from sunny Williams AFB in Mesa AZ. The snow was so deep that my German Shepherd could simply step over the yard fence into the neighbor's place. Cars were just lumps along the curb and the Swedish father-in-law's steaming glug was the solution to anything that ailed you. It was 1967 that the famous Ice Bowl was played in Green Bay.

It isn't warm and sunny in Texoma. The rain turned to sleet then turned to snow overnight. Temperatures forecast to drop all day into single digits and maybe even zero by tomorrow. The wind is blowing and it is cold. The Siberian Husky is not even enjoying running in the snow of the backyard. Gas logs are a wonderful convenience and vastly superior to trips to the woodpile. Dish network and Netflix are perfect for the day.

DFW and Love Field Closed

I'm glad I wasn't planning on going anywhere today. I wonder what time happy hour starts in the Alamo North today.

Probably not a good day to take the Breezy to McGehee's for lunch, huh?

Kinda surprised you get snow that far south.
It's high summer here in NZ. Temperature sits around 75F and we've had just enough rain to keep the grass growing, so far so good.

Most of us think climate change is a scam, especially those who work the land.
Our erstwhile leftist Govt signed Kyoto and set up a "cap and trade"
scheme which was implemented by our gutless center right Govt last year.
All this will do is hurt our economy. NZ contributes about 0.1% to global CO2 emissions and it would make no difference if we vanished in a puff of greenhouse gas overnight.

Of course the Govt does very well tax-wise, anyone surprised?.

According to Gore's latest announcement the cold temperatures and increased snow fall are due to Global Warming.

He has it set up that any change in weather no matter which direction is due to his pet theory....sadly most of the Liberal Eco-nuts accept this as truth.
