Besides the temperature in the cellar, I don't have anyplace left to put any more global warming residue...
I feel for those of you in -30° F temps. That's dang cold anywhere.
Nope: That's the real temp. Do not even want to know the wind chill factor - altho', mercifully, there isn't much wind today - I can tell by looking out over the tops of the pines in the forest...no about to go outside to test it...Throwing another log on the fire...
In other words...it is winter. Again.
Happens every January.
Not sure why it makes the news every January tho.
Brrrrr
“I feel for those of you in -30° F temps. That’s dang cold anywhere.”
Not in Alaska, or the northern territories in Canada.

I wonder how Algore can be giving Global Warming speeches in sooooo many places at the same time!
OMG, STOP THE PRESSES, WINTER hits the NORTHEAST! Extra extra read all about it, temperatures plummet, yes indeedy folks, IT’S FREAKIN WINTER HERE. Prediction: come July and August SUMMER WILL PEAK and the temperatures will soar, you heard it here FIRST!
Calling Algore! Calling Algore! Last call for Algore!
Don’t you guys know that climate change is responsible for the bitter cold. Come Spring, it’ll change again. Doggone climate changes every coupla months, y’know?
Women and minorities are harder hit
I blame GBP’s loss to Global freezing.
Al Gore is not available at this time. Has anyone else noticed that he has been strangely quiet during this period of record cold temperatures?
Fear-monguering 101: The news media shall reveal extreme weather conditions as though they’d never been thought possible before.
Ain't seen nothing yet - wait until those infamous two weeks of Feb - REALLY bitter cold and it's also the "Snow Month" or, as called by the Indians of yesteryear: the "Moon when the trees crack because of the cold." (Moon of the Snapping Trees",) and "SHOULDER TO SHOULDER AROUND THE FIRE MOON"
I just keep saying: "It's getting closer to "The Melting Moon"(April) also called - "Frog Moon".
I know winter's back is finally broken when I hear the first wood frogs 'clackering' from the nearby bog...and a couple weeks later, my favorite of all - the Spring Peepers. Nothing beats drifting off to sleep with the Peeper Symphony wafting through the window - A reminder, every spring, of "Oh yeah, this is why I live in Maine."
And from there on, each day brings another reminder - and appreciation. (Rewards for putting up with winter)
It gets really hot during the Summer. How can that be? Global Warming?
