Whether the weather is windy or drips,
it weighs in this world way more than a whit.

My wife, Audrey, who flies internationally for American Airlines via home base in Chicago, is stuck in London for two more days because of the airport
closure at O'Hare.
It looks really bad!
So much for Global Warming Mr. Gore!

I guess you're one who confuses climate and weather. Sadly, not a high level of comprehension.
And you're not a scientist. They (well, 98% of them) say that where you sit, it's not that its gonna become tropical (if you're not already in the
tropics). They predicted that this MAN MADE very rapid climate change will produce...
[drum roll, please]
dramatic changes in the weather. (Wow! Y' think?)
Uh... so their predictions have been (so far) RIGHT!
'Course you could pay attention to *ALL* of the Academies of Sciences of all of the Western Nations (and a bunch of others) who say this change is
real and is caused by us.
Or you could listen to the other 2%. (Like I say, you obviously ain't a scientist and you obviously don't hold them in high respect.)
Then do your homework (if you have any integrity at all). You will find out that pretty much *ALL* of the leading spokesmen for this indefensible
position are, to a man, both of the following:
1) on the dole of the oil industry; and,
2) many of them, the very ones who had previously used their "science" to "prove" that tobacco was not harmful. Yup. Th' same folks.
Look up Singer. And Seitz. And others. If you have any real serious interest and not just a political bias, go here, just as a ferinstance:
http://www.usatoday.com/money/books/reviews/2010-06-01-death...
Btw, Gore is no more a scientist than Inhofe. They net each other out. If you listen to either as your "scientist," you're pretty much ignorant on
the science. But I repeat myself.
Please don't bore me with recitations about e-mails and such until you've discovered how this is entirely incidental to THE SCIENCE. Or maybe (oh
yeah, that's right) you don't really know much about the science.

My daughter is stuck at the Denver airport (ET to leave > 2 days) after being rerouted from the Phoenix hub, waiting to get to the mid-West.
I'll have to take Pompano's word for the ferocity of the Northern Tier storms--personally, I avoid snow and cold like the plague. I was once in 2
degree weather and thought I had descended into Dante's Inner Hell. That is probably tepid for Dakota folks.

The media dramatizes and sensationalizes everything, weather included. Every event is the "worst ever". It's funny when some middle-age person says
"I've never seen it this -----------". It's zero degrees this morn here
in the forest of the northwest.

The good news is that spring is coming, according to the expert.
| Quote: | PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) -- As a huge winter storm paralyzed much of the United States with snow, ice and freezing rain, America's most famous groundhog
predicted on Wednesday that spring isn't far away.
Punxsutawney Phil emerged from a tree stump at dawn and, unusually, did not see his shadow, signaling that spring is just around the corner, according
to tradition.
Phil last made a prediction of an early spring in 2007 and foretells an early end to winter on average only once every 10 years, said Mike Johnston,
vice president of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, or board of directors.
Johnston said the latest prognostication will be entirely accurate, and does not reflect any desire on Phil's part to cheer up Americans who are
suffering through a grueling winter.
"Phil is absolutely incapable of error. The rodent's predictions are not burdened by being site-specific and so can be sure to predict an early spring
in some part of the world", Johnston added.
The Punxsutawney crowd, which started arriving on Gobbler's Knob at 3 a.m., braved some of the worst weather in the last 20 years of Groundhog Day,
said Johnston.

Every year it's the same thing - big news stories that it snows on the east coast and central plains states. Hasn't it been doing that for - what - a
million years? Every year, flights are cancelled, schools are closed, highways are snarled with traffic. People know when winter is coming. Every
year. The media sensationalizes everything. So what if AnytownUSA got 14 inches of snow this week when they've never gotten more than 10 inches in
the past. You have to get out the snow shovel either way. Maybe my natural gas stocks will go up now.
PS: Where's the real news story - where's the analysis of the macro analysis re: floods, cyclones, snow, erupting volcanoes on Earth. And what could
we do about it?

I agree with Wilderone. My weather story is that my 9-year old son refused to go to school today because "mom" said he could stay home due to the cold
weather. My 7-year old daughter was eager as usual to go and she went. Glad we don't live in the Dakotas or I'd have to home school.

Did somebody say San Quintin clams and oysters? Gimme just 2 days and I think I'll do just that!
And it's looking particularly glorious down there. I could say: global warming? Bring it on! But some might take me seriously.

"People who live outside the northern tier have no idea of the suddenness and ferocity of a major blizzard up north. You have seen nothing like a
full-blown prairie blizzard in central Canada or the upper Midwest USA. Truly killers."
Thanks, some have never experienced (lived and worked) in extreme weather ... it's not a lot of fun.. and it will kill you...
Its one thing to set inside nice warm .. and then run to a heated vehicle... another to stay outside and try and "get er done"...
Have also always like storms ... stationed on radar sites... in the service..
Coldest we got, -40º with 114 knots... yeah, my toes were cold even in my "flight boots" with a parka on inside a Quonset hut, with a heater, as were
the rest of the "crew" working that night... on top of a mountain...
Our perimeter fences around the "radar site" proper, were 15' ...
Couldn't help with an old war story...

You lucky dog. Don't forget to post some pics of those clams and oysters. That ought to get me thru until the end of February when I go.
