While I could explain to you the difference between climate and local weather, I won't. There's no way you haven't already heard. Oh well.

Hopefully the wind won't pick up where you live, or else it will pick up everywhere because that's how it works, I guess.

We were once warned that strong storms in the Gulf were because of Global Warming.....until they never materialized. At least the snow is real.

The storms are part of weather, which is only partially connected to climate. Weather does not define climate. I believe last year, it snowed on the pyramids in Egypt. Does that mean it was cold the entire year? No, because that would insane to even suggest.

Weather is short term local activity, while climate is long term regional activity. It being cold for a week does not mean the climate is a cold one.

Here in California we are having spectacular weather! Best spring ever!

I hate to agree with the AWG weenies, but there really is a difference between weather and climate.

BTW, hope you are enjoying the weather that results from us west coast people whose weather is sending our storms over to you!

And salt is bad for ya...oh wait...


And egss are bad for ya...oh wait....

But anyway, have you bought your carbon credits lately?

And here is a great reason why it is so easy to be "duped" because someone has phd...or what at the end of their name...

The M&Ms were the best...

That really doesn't address what I said. I'm not arguing that the snow means squat.
