Just a radical thought, never get published on CNBC or CNN.
What I will acknowledge is:

a) the MORE cold it is, the LESS likely it is to snow
b) if there is any truth to global warming it is going to present itself in long term trends, not yearly fluctuations. Anyone who believes that an abnormally warm year or an abnormally cold year proves or disproves the concept of global warming shouldn't be involved in the conversation.

Of course no one is implying that this winter PROVES anything.

However, that standard should apply BOTH ways.

Every climate related event that is negative is chalked up to GW. A bad storm the CA wildfires, hurricanes etc. The hysterics are not coming from the GW doubters. I would hope you would agree with that point.

What is good for the goose .........

I think that there are hysterics from the GW doubters as well (surprisingly hateful at times) but I'd agree that there are plenty on the other side who aren't doing anybody any good with blaming every little thing on GW. That needs to stop. Unfortunately, the media needs to sensationalize everything for ratings. One of the downsides of a free press.

Yeah, you can damn sure say that again. First came the ice...








Then the snow...





This year I have to say I am as ready for spring as I have EVER been in my life. One more shot: What I'm drivin' now, and what I hope to be drivin' as soon as possible...

Your car looks pretty nice. That new color is a Must. Orange, Black and WHITE makes nice contrast. Snow up here (Quebec) is terrible. It snows untill november. Sometimes we have to get out by windows to clear doors. Anyway, I took time this winter to carry modifications on my S. I sent pics on Performance talks under intercooler Forum. If you guys are interested, send me comments or recommendations.
