Snowy in cold in Wisconsin in Dec/Jan/Feb? Well, I NEVER!

[b4its2late]

Snowy and cold in New York in December, January & February? Whoda thunk?

[gorush]

Oh no! Not again...it seems to happen every year between December and March.

[Larry Lucido]

That rascally global warming again.

[momto6]

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

[rintense]

LOL! We're already being told to prepare for a nasty winter here. We've been lucky in the past 7 years so we're due.

Bring on 100+ inches of snow!!!! (I'm right across the lake, smack in the middle of lake effect snow).

[basil]

It probably won’t dump a lot of snow in Texas—but we can use all the moisture we can get! We’re still having a lot of fires around here, though none as bad as the Bastrop fires, thank goodness.

Not a drop of rain at my house in over 5 months!

[rintense]

Yeah, my brother in Tulsa is going through the same thing. I’m happy to send some rain your way, though I am enjoying my very lush lawn this year.

[FatherofFive]

Not good news for Texas. Drought to continue.

Send some of that snow southward!

[Citizen Tom Paine]

I’ll also bet it is going to be cold in Rochester, NY. I’ll also bet that there will be 90-100 inches of snow fall. I’ll also bet that the Buffalo, NY airport will be closed once or twice because of lake effect snowfall. Isn’t global warming wonderful.

[Jedidah]

Us Texans will welcome wet any way we can get it.

[McLynnan]

Sadly forecasters say the return of La Nina will cause lower than normal precipitation in the Southwest so no relief from our drought conditions. We can’t get a break.

[RayChuang88]

Here we go again with 130-plus percent precipitation here in California.

[cashless]

But...but...but Anthropogenic (?) Global Warming says we should all be getting warmer and warmer and our biggest fear is polar ice cap melts with rising waters covering huge swaths of coastal cities. Surely there is something missing in the models they have invented to explain it's cold in winter and hot in summer, like...um...I don't know...maybe solar activity and clouds and other natural phenomena?

These guy who said the Pacific Ocean is cooling at the equator had better check his model since the real time data argues against the model. But we all know that real time data has no place in the discussion of climate change. Nor solar activity. Nor clouds. Nor airborne ash from volcanic eruptions. The only thing consistent about their models is...get ready for it...it's mankind's fault.

When will all the rotten ideas of the 20th century be exposed for the power-money grabs schemes they are?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Damn, that pix looks familiar.

We sold the snow blower when we left Minnesota. Last winter, I wished we had it back.

[Jack Hydrazine]

What Texas needs is a hurricane....or three!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Has anyone told Al Gorebaloney yet?

[basil]

“lush lawn”? Refresh my memory—what is that?

[Inyo-Mono]

Calling for snow here in the Sierra of California this Wednesday with temps dropping to 15 degrees and there is still a ton of snow that hasn’t melted from last Winter.

[The Great RJ]

Didn’t Al Gore assure us that global warming would make the Great Plains into the Sahara???
