Who said God does not have a sense of humor!
Is it any wonder Gore wants the next globull warming conference in July in Mexico.
With any luck this will delay Obama from getting back from his second epic failure in Copenhagen.
GOOD!!!! Maybe it’ll scare some of our feckless senators and reps into going home early for Christmas, delaying Obamacare into the new year. God does have a sense of humor.
As Obama Lands in Copenhagen, Snow Starts Falling With Denmark Expecting a Weekend of Minus 20 Degrees Celsius

“It’s starting to snow; of course [in view of the global warming conference], that hardly makes for an entirely optimal situation”
That was the laconic comment of a retired weatherman from Copenhagen Airport. As the world (and the Copenhagen conference) heads towards (an objective of) minus 2º (Celsius), writes Berlingske Tidende, Denmark is heading towards minus 20º. As Obama arrives in Copenhagen, the snow has started to fall.
The irony is palpable when the American president Barack Obama flies in on a Danish December weather day, whose snowfall, fog, and frost seems to disavow COP15’s whole raison d’être. … According to the weather forecast Denmark will get a snow storm this weekend. The wind will make the temperature feel like minus 20 degrees.

The earth is so hot it’s snowing!
I’m hoping for a foot of snow, but am only looking at a couple inches.
I would love a reason to stay home tomorrow.
“This is my Father’s world
I rest me in the thought....”
It’s still a bit far out, but long range forecasting is showing we will have a white Christmas here in SE Tennessee. It’ll be the first time I’ve seen that in my 47 years.....
LLS
I wonder how far south I would have to drive to avoid this.
hurry and get to the store and buy all the milk, bread and toilet paper.
In semi-related news, a couple of extended weather models are predicting a blizzard hitting Chicago around Christmas Day.
God does have a sense of humor. In Mexico in July they will have the biggest Hurricane in Pacific Coast history. Only can wish right?
Maybe the Senate will have a snow day!
A couple weeks ago or so Gore was here in Wisconsin, we got 14 inches of snow.
