I post on Eastern Weather US a great site for weather nerds like me. You'd never know reading there that we had Winter start like it has. Eastern WX has been inundated with Obomatons mainly posting from places like Fair Lawn, New Jersey and Boston MA bitching about their 3” snowcover and how global warming has ruined their Winters. I bring this up because when you are intellectually dishonest and want bad news to be true in the face of evidence no amount of quantitative and anecdotal evidence will convince them. It's a religion and false religions die hard.

Here in NYC 5 inches is considered a major storm by our nitwit mayor and his brain-dead bootlickers including the local TV media who tried to frighten everyone to death because the wind-chill might be 5 below. What really was bad this time was that the ground snow turned into ice overnight. I just spent an hour and a half hacking my car out of the hardest ice I have ever encountered.

Here in the Portland area we’ve had three days of non stop snow and ice. The gnomes in the back yard are completely covered. In the 10 years that I’ve been here I’ve never seen anything like it. The midwest, yes, but not here. I think there might be a foot of snow out there.

Does anyone know or remember how and when precisely this global warming nonsense began? Who was the first nut?

I'm old enough to remember the 70s scare about the coming ice age, which was being hastened IIRC by the use of aerosol sprays (because of the propellant used). Yes -- use hairspray or air freshener and you're bringing on the ice age! Aerosols disappeared for a while (replaced by mechanical pump type things), and then aerosols came back, I guess with a different propellant.

But hairspray and air freshener are really small potatoes compared with with the havoc you can wreak attacking the internal combustion engine and whole utilities!

“A row of handsome cabs make their way through Central Park”

They may be handsome cabs, but they aren’t Hansom cabs — which have the driver above and behind the cab.

We have “journalist” these days who don’t even bother to find out the meanings, or even the spellings, of the words they use.

yes, for a row of hansom cabs, they are handsome as well.
