Global warming? What global warming???

#1 Post by Kazoo65 » Mon Feb 25, 2008 9:45 am

For about the sixth time this winter, we're under a storm watch.. Right now, we're getting freezing rain, which will eventually change into snow. They're predicting up to 8 inches of it tonight-tomorrow.

Where's Al Gore when you need him? :?

More about La Nina than Global Warming, I suspect.

Still, this calls for a Merry Man visit, I think.

In my geothermal heated jacuzzi, where else?

Don't forget to turn your thermostat down, Kazoo! The energy you save may one be used to power up my killer new plasma TV....

I'm here! But I'm currently.....unavailable to travel to give a lecture. Prior commitment for...say, 10 to 25 years? Less if I quit trying to escape....
I didn't do it.

Well, it is still winter!

The storms have frequently included "mixed precipitation" up here, too, but that does point to it being a milder winter than usual. If it was as cold as usual, that would be all snow.

Consider yourself lucky, Kazoo. If the world were not being warmed by Global Warming you would be living in a virtual icebox by now.

Yes it is- I lived there briefly.

I remember one time I was driving home from work, and it was clear.

I glanced down at my dash for a second to change the radio station, and when I looked up, I was driving in a blizzard.

I kid you not!
