This is the tenth year I've worked at the hospital boiler room. We closely monitor the outside air temperature and humidity and make adjustments on our HVAC system accordingly. We pay especially close attention to the temperature when it drops below 45 degrees because all sorts of changes to the equipment have to be made (some of which were installed in the '60s). Looking back on the past ten years, this winter's average temperature is the coldest so far since I've been here. We've even had to use all the tricks we could think of to keep the patients warm without making it too hot for other patients. Normally, we don't begin a review of the freeze policy until January. This year we did a review in November. This week we're expecting a morning low in the twenties. This may not seem like much to people who live up north but for people who live down in the deep south, this is dangerous weather. Many people's homes aren't well insulated for the cold. I'm just glad my father-in-law now lives with us because the home he was staying in was too dangerous, had no central heat, and it's only source of heat was an electric space heater which isn't enough. He's 84 and that was his parent's home. We don't keep our home as hot as he'd like but he won't freeze thanks to our central heat.

how to you laugh away an ice glacier beakup the size of a small town in canada?

In my case, it wasn't about a cold rain. It was about an unusually cold past three months.
"When Britain woke up on the first day of the New Year it was met with freezing cold temperatures, feet of snow in places and the promise of travel chaos.
And now, three days into 2010, forecasters have warned to expect continued snowfall for the next 10 days - bringing with it added stress for commuters heading back to work after a festive break and children returning to school tomorrow. Yet as Britain struggles to cope with the freezing weather conditions, other countries throughout the world are also finding themselves in the same predicament."
I am all for making the air cleaner. For less pollution of any kind and I am for green fuels.
I struggle with people like Al Gore who preach one thing but live another.
I struggle with the fact that scientists don't agree with Gores bad science and we are seeing more everyday speak out against it.
Yes lets clean up our act, but lets also be honest. Gore is making a mint from his carbon credits scam. He is making a mint by lying and misrepresenting the facts.
Bio fuels are not here yet but with some valid investment they can become reality. Sorry Corn Ethanol doesn't count.
There was a time when the town of Frostproof, FL lived up to its name. Grove owners at Frostproof or South could be assured that they did not have to worry about frost damage to the citrus groves. In the past 25 years this has not been the case and areas far South of Frostproof FL have had to protect their groves and other crops from below freezing temperatures. This is a trend not a seasonal "fluke".
