So much for global warming!


Inch already on the ground with more on the way. Steady 30mph wind with 40mph gusts. Snow blowing sideways. Visibility 1/4 mile. Closest thing to a blizzard that we get around these parts (S-SW of Ft Worth).

2. That's why they call it "climate change" now.
When weather systems get effed up it becomes more unpredictable.

There will be food for those without humanity or remorse.

7. yeah, it freaked me out a bit
I'm a native Illioisan so I don't mind snow, but I'm cat and dog-sitting this week so I'm keeping an eye on the weather - I checked up on them earlier than usual and left double amounts of food in case it should get icy

11. It's raining in Northern Michigan tonight.
Strange weather here. November was downright Lovely. We've only had 62 inches of snow this year.

15. The fact that you have snow where you have never seen it before
confirms, not denies global warming. One feature is that it causes wild changes and fluctuations in previous weather patterns. Viz, snow where you ain't never seen it before.
