They predict January in the US should end with more heavy snow/ice storms and the return of Arctic Cold. The recent warm-up in the east is ending.

BAGHDAD (AP) — The flakes melted quickly. But the smiles, wonder and excited story-swapping went on throughout the day: It snowed in Baghdad.
The morning flurry Friday was the first in memory in the heart of the Iraqi capital. Perhaps more significant, however, was the rare ripple of delight through a city snarled by army checkpoints, divided by concrete walls and ravaged by sectarian killings.
"For the first time in my life I saw a snow-rain like this falling in Baghdad," said Mohammed Abdul-Hussein, a 63-year-old retiree from the New Baghdad area.

I don’t think you understand the global warming theory. Any extreme temperature or weather related event is attributed to global warming. To them, this is evidence that supports their religious doctrine. Faith is difficult to disprove...

Making sand angels, tossing sandballs, building a sandman with a giant desert spider for a hat...never forget the horrendous conditions that are the norm for our troops in Iraq.

As an adult, I too often miss the absolute beauty of snow because I have to deal with getting it moved, driving in it, etc. Once in a while, though, I am able to slow down and take notice of how truly beautiful God decorates the trees and fields sometimes when it snows. Children tend to notice this more often and see snow as a potential for fun, rather than an inconvenience.
The author certainly got in enough anti-war references, though. Its hard to get all of your biases into a single article.
Not as alien as it was before Friday, though. ;-)
I am here in Fallujah and no kidding it snowed yesterday morning.....Awesome! I am from Superior, WI, so living in this hot and sandy hell-hole has been not a whole lot of fun for me. Going home soon though!
“It’ll be a cold day in “hell” before Bush’s plan works.”
I’m thinking there couldn’t be a more clear signal from above.
George W. wins again.
Yes, I saw the snow here in central Baghdad yesterday morning. It blew my mind.
I'm from Houston and this weather here right now is COLD! ;-)

In the 70’s I believed the scientists who said we
would be in a full on ice age in 20 years. The only
icing we got in the 90’s was Bill Clinton. However
with the benefit of a good memory we boomers are eye
witnesses to climate change and it doesn’t scare us.
Unlike the young products of our broken educational
system, we know that history did not begin the day we
were born. We know that climate change is normal.
Where we benefit is that we don’t have to embrace
agenda driven faux sicence anymore. We can OBSERVE,
collect and compare reliable data and make informed
decisions for ourselves.
Our naked Emporer Algore is hiding behind a complicit
media, freezing his tukus off. And people are laughing.
Kudos from a fellow boomer!
You’ve really hit the nail on the head.
Thank you dear.
Remember to laugh at the Emporer. Hah! Hah!
And spread the word. Keep saying it over
and over again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
My dad (when he was still alive) would have told Algore to his face that he was an ass clown and that he ought to shut the hell up and quit bothering people.
God bless your Mom and Dad. They truly are
“The Greatest Generation”. My Dad is 92 and
still says he never had it so good. And it’s
true. His Mother held him in her arms while
traveling on a horse drawn buckboard. He saw
us reach the moon and then walk on it. Now
he’s watching his beloved America decline for
lack of knowledge.
May the Lord be merciful to a rebellious people.

My dad was a big believer in technology (he worked in the electronics industry for a company that was involved in the Apollo space program) and he always said if the bureaucrats would get out of the way, we could figure out how to do pretty much anything we wanted to do. He was so right.
