[Magnum44]

Its only news if its breaking records...

[G Larry]

Fewer “Global Warming” stories in the news.

[Col Frank Slade]

Anyone know how this compares with the ‘78 blizzard ?

[Red Badger]

Global warming is getting out of hand.................

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Imaging how much snow there would be, if there were NO glow-bull warming!

</sarc>

[left that other site]

Yes. The ‘78 Blizzard was much worse than this one. I lived through it.

Anyone know how this compares with the ‘78 blizzard ?

That was over 4 feet of snow, plus winds causing even higher drifts.

“WBUR”

Am I the only one that sees the irony in that?

[Zathras]

What is Al Gore doing in Boston?
LOL

[CodeToad]

Funny thing, snow storms, no one ever hears Colorado complain but, man, does the east coast whine up a storm every winter.

[Fresh Wind]

I thought snow was supposed to be a thing of the past. What happened?

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

‘78 was epic. This one will likely be just the typical storm before the media got into the business of weather fear porn.

[Mears]

They say this could equal 1978….who knows ?

What is wrong over at WBUR? They called it a “nor’easter” and didn’t use “Bomb,” “Cyclone,” or “Bombogenesis” once! Not only that, they used “storm” SEVEN times!

This is simply not a credible report with shoddy reporting like that.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Not only that, “Polar Vortex” is missing, too! If I managed that station, I would immediately fire all the weathermen and weathergals.

I dunno about 78, but in the 90s we moved during a snow storm that dumped 33 inches on us. Took me 2 days to shovel,out paths and shovel the roofs and porches so we could move in safely. The snow on the roof was all drifted and overhanging the entry points. It was a brutal move.

Stoopid climageddonists. Hope you don’t over exert yourself clearing snow. Hire some kids. LOL! We haven’t had diddly out here since Christmas.
