Meteorologist: 'We've Forgotten How to Be Cold' February 17, 2014 - 5:40 PM By Melanie Hunter

(CNSNews.com) - J. Marshall Shepherd, former head of the American Meteorological Society, told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that people have "forgotten how to be cold or deal with snowstorms," because there are so few big storms "and that is because of climate warming."

"I'm not quite ready to say that this snowstorm we saw this week or last week is caused by global warming or climate change, but one thing I will emphasize, I think we're forgotten how to be cold or deal with snowstorms, because we're seeing so few of these big storms like we've seen, and that probably is because of climate warming," said Shepherd.

Host Bob Schieffer asked Shepherd whether the recent spate of storms that have hit the East Coast was the result of "things that are happening here on earth."

"Yeah, yeah, a couple of things, let me say about that. When we get winter weather, cold conditions, you know, you've got some that will say, 'Well, what are you guys worried about climate change or global warming? I mean, it's -- it's cold and snowing.' And I'll say, 'You know, it's winter. It's January or February. We get snowstorms.' That's important.That's like saying, because it's night time, the sun doesn't exist anymore," Shepherd said.

"On the other hand, though, there is evidence -- there's some scientific literature that suggests that jet stream patterns can be affected by the amplified warming that we're seeing up in the Arctic because of climate change or global warming," he said.

“Too bad most people wouldn’t understand.”

I looked it up a couple years ago, along with other “it’s so cold that...” sayings to figure out their sources and meanings. It is debatable on many of them what the original meaning was!

We could always go back to the time-honored practice of *bundling.*

CO2 = Capitalism

that's why they blame the hoax global warming on co2

global warming is a hoax

factories have been emitting co2 for 200 years. yet there's been no corresponding warming as predicted by their lame brain global warming theory. if the stupid AGW theory were true then sea levels would have risen 60 feet in those 200 years due to melting ice caps. ice caps growing, it's getting colder . but democrats actually believe the news media when they say the cold is caused by global warming (the latest ridiculous spin)

Pretty sure this Wisconsin Gal has it down, Mister! This winter has been BRUTAL and I’ve never gotten stuck once, and the only minor issue was a frozen sink in the lower bathroom. Pipes are fine when they thaw out - it’s plumbed wrong; soon to be fixed.

In the past five years we’ve had two winters with 100+ inches of snow. This winter it’s snowed every week since November - just enough to be annoying, 1-3” at a time, but we’re over 50” so far...with ice on the way this week! Then we had the Polar Vortex with wind chills -50 degrees. I closed my store 4x in January, which has never happened before.

Pretty sure I KNOW how to be cold. What a doofus.
