CHILDREN JUST AREN'T GOING TO KNOW WHAT SNOW IS (2013)
The Daily Telegraph ^ | January 17, 2013 | Tim Blair

The Independent, 2000:

Snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters – which scientists are attributing to global climate change – produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries … Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community … According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event". "Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

In a few years the country will be buried in snow. Mini ice age coming. Will need to crank up the CO2 emissions.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful.
And since we’ve got no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

If I feel the need to see snow I jump in the car and take about a 45 minute drive. Done!

Within the last few years I remember British papers moaning that the winders were going to be colder than they had been for a hundred years. What happened?

When this article was written in 2000, they had not yet adapted their "models" to show that ANY weather, warmer, cooler or neither, was to be presented as proof of "anthropogenic climate change". Failure of their predictions to come true is proof positive that they are correct!

Had to brush an inch of something white and cold off the truck the begining of the week. I’m hardly in snow country, but in high desert in the NM quarter of the 4-corners. Pretty sure it was snow, didn’t taste it.

You can say that again.

They will have so little experience with liberty that they won’t know that they don’t have it.

That would be the one who was caught with Professor Mann from Penn State who invented the hockey stick with doctored data.

All-time record October snowfall here in North Idaho — 7.1 inches. All-time cold record broken Tuesday this week at 11 degrees (2 degrees colder than the old record). FOUR snowstorms so far this fall and winter doesn’t even start for SEVEN more weeks!

Yep, no doubt about it — the kids will never know winter again.

But, we stopped the COMING ICE AGE back in the 1980s!

POPULAR SCIENCE, Feb 1980..
PS/What’s News ....page 73
Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)

“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”

WE DID IT!

But, but, but, global warming causes snow and ice storms doncha know?

At least that is the feeble excuse the global warming promoters will tell you.

I grew up in Tempe AZ and lived there for over 50 years.

One doesn't drive "out" to Flagstaff to see the snow. You drive "up" to Flagstaff. Just giving you a clue so you'll sound like a native. :-)

Flagstaff has the closet ski area to Phoenix at the Snow Bowl.

Hawley Lake, northeast of Phoenix, is noted as the coldest spot in the nation on the national weather programs sometimes. It holds the all-time record low temperature in Arizona history with -40 degrees recorded in January 1971.

Enjoy dry Arizona. I miss it. We live in humid Florida now. I hate the humidity. And bugs that go with it.

4. There is always “snow” in Chicago. It’s called cocaine.
