Well we got 30 inches of snow in Denver w more on the way.
I'm keeping the car running until this part of the globe heats up.

This was official declared a brown Christmas for Duluth MN. The last one was 1979. Before that was either '67 or 68. The rest were before 1950. My Grandmother once told me that the winter of 1941-42 was so warm the neighbors were having grill outs at Christmas(in Duluth, MN!!). Warming and cooling is a typical earth pattern. Of course, these are interviews with Northeasterners and they tend to think like Europeans. The old timers tell of working the forests and lakes in the 1930's in Northern Mn and they talked of the hot summers and the snowless winters. I'm sure Al Gore would love to explain that. They had no SUVs and still relied on horses for some of the work
