White on White Privilege
It used to be that Americans, who were free to disagree on everything, had one safe space where they could speak civilly to each other. No more; we can’t even agree on the weather because SCIENCE! Or something sort of like science. Take this weekend’s storm in New England:
CNBC - Climate change, particularly the warming ocean, probably influenced the strength of the storm, atmospheric researchers said.
Much warmer ocean waters “are certainly playing a role in the strengthening of the storm system and increased moisture available for the storm,” said University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Jason Furtado…[before whispering the quiet part] “But it isn’t the only thing.”
Once upon a time we had blizzards, then they morphed into more dramatic bomb cyclones and now, compliments of the BBC no less, we’ve landed on the truly sensational: “US East Coast blanketed by 'bombogenesis' snowstorm.” A bombogenesis that even warrants it’s own name: Winter Storm Kenan. Never mind that “Kenan” sounds about as threatening as “Percival.”
So yes, the east coast is blanketed in snow that “near hurricane” winds whipped into some daunting drifts and brought water ashore causing flooding of some low coastal areas. It’s winter people; weather happens. And it’s been happening for millennia. What family with agricultural roots doesn’t have a story about some poor ancestor who went out in a blizzard to feed the cows and never returned because he failed to tie a rope between the house and the barn?
Whiteout rope: still useful after all these years
Enough with the weather hysteria for goodness sake, it’s New England, it’s winter; it’s not as if these folks have never seen a blizzard before. As recently as 2010 the East Coast lived through Snowmageddon and then there were the Snowpocalypses of 2013, 14, and 16. How can anyone be a Global Warming denier after all this?

Global warming is also increasing the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, causing not just increased rainfall, but increased snowfall as well when conditions are right. So while it might seem contradictory, global warming seems to be part of the reason for recent “snowmageddon” events. -NS
And here’s more news: there are and always have been blizzards – some in places other than the East Coast.
Mid-West Blizzard of ‘78
So leave your measly bombogenesis of 2022 where the sun don’t shine. The human race has been dealing with weather for a very long time.
Neighborhood shovelers after the ‘67 blizzard in Grand Rapids, some taking a smoke break. And look: black and white, male and female working together without benefit of an advertising agency.
So pick up a shovel and start shoveling. For we have much larger fish to fry than a little Global Warming.

P.S. here in the mountains 2 feet of snow is known as “a good powder day.”

Typical winter in NC. As usual, the mid-winter thaw weather comes next week. February starts the preview of spring.
Yep - It winter and the snow falls-
Ask your Lefty friends if they know that the “earff” is CLOSER to the sun in the winter. See if that makes their heads spin a bit more.
15 degrees and 15 Mph wind
feels like -9 or so
Gotta go, hockey game in about 1 hr!
The young folks shovel the snoew off the ice early so the sun gives it a nice “clearcoat”.
woop woop wooop!!!!
Anyone with any planet warming please send
I doubt I’ll ever tire of snowstorm scenes. That’s why it’s such a relief that global warming generates more snow. It gives me more hope for the future lolz
I have a question and am hoping that someone could shed some light on it.....
I’m now seeing lots and lots of commercials for the polar bears and the declining ice that they need to survive. But then I can read that the Arctic ice is actually expanding.
And yet, reports that the polar bear population is actually increasing: https://thespectator.info/2021/03/04/report-polar-bear-population-increasing/
So, are the commercials yet another example of liberals running a non-profit, where they are lying through their teeth and most of the money is going to the “overhead” that operates the said, non-profit?
... of the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
Perihelion is sometime in January, if I recall correctly. Winter in the northern hemisphere is thus milder, and summer also milder. Also: Partially explains why Antarctica is overall colder and less habitable than the Arctic.

Nothing new to see here, same as 1700’s and later.
Climate goes in cycles. Glaciers covered New England and Europe down to the South of France. They don’t now. Obviously the forces of nature that caused the warming are still present and are causing the warming that they are talking about.
Globull warming is touching me up here in the northern thumb of Michiganstan..
Nice balmy 17 here today..
Up from -12 the other day..

Polar bears are just one more way to get the job done.
It has now been over 25 years since Algore warned us that if the U.S. did not adopt and immediately implement the Kyoto Protocol then Global Warming would destroy the world in less than ten years.
Temperatures are warmer today 19 F, but they have been below 0 F the past several nights, single digits during the day recently.
No “warming” here. (except in my nice warm home, heated with fossil fuel).
Toasty in here.
