Sen Inhofe is right about global warming and Gore and his minions are wrong! We are freezing here in OK -- everytime the Dims talk about global warming we get hit here especially when Gore opens his mouth!

I just cleaned the pool, it's about 50 degrees,, the winds we had a few days ago really gunked it up.Me too. But this time I'm waiting for the last of the leaves from my neighbors tree to fall before cleaning it out.

Closure

Math: the characteristic of being mathematically closed.
Modern dictionaries are a moving feast of degenerating standards wherein everybody is left satiated but unfed.

Well I'm in Canandaigua and it's a 'balmy' 52.
And I'm not looking forward to snow.

I'm in the northwest suburbs of Chicago...We're in Rochelle, about 70 miles straight West of Chicago. I measured 15" in the flat, open lawn area outside the house. Thankfully, the snow blower worked, although the snow was higher than the cowling and had to be worked with a shovel before we could blow it.
We had 3 vehicles get stuck at the corner we live on, one being the snow plow; another a 4x4 pickup. My wife didn't have to drive to DeKalb to work because no one else could get in, so she got approval to close the store for the day.
This was like one of the old 'big ones' I remember from years ago. It's all global warming's fault!!

I was wise enough to make sure the snowblower worked yesterday. The theory being that if I did that there was no way we would get enough snow today to have to use it. Looks like it worked! ;-)
I thought I had done the same thing yesterday. Put in fresh gas. Checked the oil. Started the "faithful beast" and let it run for 1/2 hour. When I got up today at 4:30 to clear the driveway, the darn thing would not stay running! Ended up having to pull the jet from the carb and cleaning it before I could get any snow moved. Cold fingers, small parts...

It must have been one overloaded party boat that went down. I guess the beer all sank?

My God, can this guy really be serious? I mean it almost looks like a gag site, he fits every know leftist kook stereotype there is.
This guy consumed way too much window pane in the 60s.

Well...I'm in the SW Chicago area...I don't know what the inch count is...but we got the heartattack-heavy snow.
That's my home town area... Archer/Harlem area. Are you near there?
I'm in Oklahoma City now, and I'm surprised the locals freaked out over 2-4 inches of snow. Of course there was a healthy batch of sleet and freezing rain, but nothing to almost shut the city down over.

This morning, some ditzy on-location reporterette on one of the Tulsa news stations announced confidently that because the temperature wouldn't be above 32 degrees there would be NO snow melting today at all, regardless of the sunshine.
When they cut back to the news set, the weatherdude mostly agreed with her.
I've been around a few years, and I've often seen snow melting from solar radiation when the air temp is below 32.

You don't have to look very far to see this basic lack of science knowledge in the media nowadays. The sad part is the general public laps this crap up.
