Rove, you sneaky bastard! Turn off your evil Weather Machine!
Didn't this storm originate in Texas????
Actually, if anybody's playing with the Evil Weather Machine, it's probably China. They have the capability and have been using it in their own country with plenty of glitches. They're not happy about the global warming conspiracy to clamp down on their economic development. I wouldn't put it past them at all to arrange a blizzard in Washington DC to welcome President Obama home from the Copenhagen farce.
