Time for the global warming crowd to make this news.

[television is just wrong]

I have a friend who owns a water store. The state just sent him notice that they will close his store and other stores that deal with car washes, etc. Socialism alive and well in California...the rest of the nation will follow esp if the dems get elected in this next presidential election.

Take a look here. There's little or no sea surface positive anomalies off the U.S. west coast. The same happened last year.

Two and three years ago, there were good positive anomalies and it rained cats and dogs. Europe, on the other hand is getting snow and ski-resorts have opened early.

But warm November temperatures in the mountains have meant that the sparse snow found so far has been made by the resorts themselves.

I've never skied on decent man-made snow. It feels like skiing on sand.

Tahoe resorts say most slopes should be open by Christmas.

That's a bummer for all the skiers and snowboarders.
