Many who have prayed for God to send our Political leaders a message have had their prayers answered. However, the current aethists and agnostics that run our government can’t be bothered with signs from the almighty.

Snow headed your way?
24°F here now and white stuff expected
Is this global warming?
As much as I’m enjoying the ecopolitical ramifications of this storm, I wish the best for the folks who have to deal with it. Drive carefully.
OTOH, I am loving the irony of Zero hurrying home to the deep freeze. LMAO. What a dork.
I love this as Obama comes back from the Copenhagen climate conference.

...RECORD BREAKING DECEMBER SNOWFALL FOR BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON
METROPOLITAN AREAS BRINGING HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER TO THE REGION
OVERNIGHT AND SATURDAY...
TOTAL STORM SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 2 FEET ARE FORECAST TO OCCUR
IN THE BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREAS BY DAWN SUNDAY...WHICH
SHOULD ECLIPSE THE DECEMBER RECORDS FOR BOTH CITIES. THE RECORD
DECEMBER SNOWFALL FOR WASHINGTON IS 12.0 INCHES ON 18-19 DECEMBER
1932...AND FOR BALTIMORE TO RECORD IS 14.1 INCHES ON 12-13 DECEMBER 1960.
SHOULD ACCUMULATIONS EXCEED 14 INCHES...THIS STORM WILL MAKE THE
LIST OF THE ALL-TIME TOP 10 SNOWSTORMS ON RECORD FOR BOTH CITIES.
HERE ARE SOME HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER PREPAREDNESS TIPS...
1. TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED ON SATURDAY...AS CONDITIONS WILL
DETERIORATE RAPIDLY AFTER DAYBREAK. IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL SATURDAY IN
AN EMERGENCY...CARRY A WINTER STORM SURVIVAL KIT WHICH INCLUDES A
CHARGED MOBILE PHONE...BLANKETS...FLASHLIGHT WITH EXTRA
BATTERIES...HIGH CALORIE NON-PERISHABLE FOOD...WATER...AND A SNOW
SHOVEL. KEEP YOUR GAS TANK FULL...AND AVOID TRAVELING ALONE. LET
SOMEONE KNOW YOUR TIMETABLE AND YOUR PRIMARY ROUTE.
2. IF YOU DO GET STRANDED...STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE. ATTEMPTING TO
WALK FOR HELP IN A WINTER STORM COULD BE A DEADLY DECISION. RUN
THE MOTOR FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES EVERY HOUR FOR HEAT. OPEN THE
WINDOW A LITTLE FOR FRESH AIR TO AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
MAKE SURE YOUR EXHAUST PIPE IS NOT BLOCKED FROM ICE AND SNOW.
3. IF YOU NEED TO USE A PORTABLE GENERATOR...FOLLOW MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTIONS TO KEEP THE AREA SURROUNDING YOUR GENERATOR WELL
VENTILATED.
4. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOVEL SNOW UNLESS YOU ARE PHYSICALLY FIT.
HYDRATE YOURSELF OFTEN WITH WATER WHILE SHOVELING...AND TAKE
FREQUENT BREAKS.
5. MOVE PETS AND FARM ANIMALS TO SHELTERED LOCATIONS AND ENSURE
THEY HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD AND DRINK.
6. LISTEN TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...LOCAL AND CABLE OUTLETS TO
STAY INFORMED ON THE PROGRESS OF THE STORM.

Up here in WI, we would only be shut down for a day over this. Two tops. You should be asking Obama and Gore for some of that “GoreBull Warming”.
GW PING!!!!
The entire area should be imprisoned in a big block of ice.
Just outside of Balitmore, MD...it’s already started snowing. We’re supposed to get 1-2 feet. Global warming, eh Zero?
God sure has a good sense of humor.
Wow. Hope all travelers have safe safe safe journeys. And all shoppers too.
How’s that global warming working out, D.C.?
Shivering for you all!!
It’s expected to be in the high 70s tomorrow here... Kick me now. But I’d rather have snow piled up to my neck and a JOB.

SNOW ICE CREAM RECIPES
These are basic, but you can use your imagination for various flavors. (Use chocolate milk, or use eggnog and rum flavoring, etc.) It’s fun, and it’s good! : )
Once enough snow has fallen for there to be clean snow.
#1——
Ingredients
1 gallon snow
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups evaporated milk
Directions
Place a large, clean bowl outside to collect the flakes. When full, stir in sugar and vanilla to taste, then stir in just enough milk for the desired consistency. Serve at once.
#2——
Ingredients
8 cups snow
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Place snow into a large bowl. Pour condensed milk over and add vanilla. Mix to combine. Serve immediately in bowls.
...well, it was about 80 degrees and sunny here in L.A. today.
Hah hah hah! Hope D.C. gets buried in two feet. Then they can call Algore for help!
The Sentinel’s Creed
My dedication to this sacred duty
Is total and wholehearted-
In the responsibility bestowed on me
Never will I falter-
And with dignity and perseverance
My standard will remain perfection.
Through the years of diligence and praise
And the discomfort of the elements
I will walk my tour in humble reverence
The best of my ability.
It is he who commands the respect I protect
His bravery that made us so proud.
Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day,
Alone in the thoughtful peace of night,
This soldier in honored Glory rest
Under my eternal vigilance.
God Bless These Men Who Will Walk Their Post In The Cold,,,
Please Keep Them Warm...
