Of course, the A/C was back on by 10am and it's about 85 out now. |

It was 70 this morning with an expected top of 85. Unusually cool for this time of year.
Not sure about Global warming, but pool warming is very apparent. Our pool temp is about 85 as well, and I'll be in it as soon as I've posted this reply. |

Actually, I kind of like it. When I go to the pool tomorrow and watch the snow flies drift by the plate glass windows ... it's nice to be reminded that we're having winter. I almost thought winter was going to breeze past us. |

GWB GWB, I was born in Buffalo, but moved to Fl when I was 10, so I remember the snow as a "fun thing" as I never had to go to work in it. Now, I take my family to the mountains of Tenn each Christmas time just to try to see some snow. Beleive me, the heat gets just as old as the cold does for you guys. We are still running the AC most every day now. |

Right now, it's bright any sunny, with blue skies and puffy white clouds, shaped like cotton balls. Temps, on the other hand, it's cold and extremely windy ... and it's forecasted to have another taste of arctic blast, just like the one that we had last week. |

No current accumulations in CNY but Nothern NY is getting their share (check with NorthCountry for an update there) but it is cold here, that's for sure. Floating between 5 - 10 degrees F with a wind chill that drops it below zero easily. So cold it was kinda tough to ski yesterday but you just have to know how to dress right. Another tee-shirt and a larger bottle of hot buttered rum and you're good to go. |

But I'm still finding energy to play my Ovations. |

Location: Las Vegas | Global warming will eventually bring about an ice age. How it works is simple feedback... the polar ice caps melt, the jetstream snakes violently, sometimes coming from due south (heat waves) while in other parts of the US it comes from due north (getting arctic blasts while the rest of the country bakes; think of a sidewinder's path.) Temperate currents that moderate high latitude continents like Europe fail as the fresh water enters the ocean and kills the currents.
The oceans heat up even more by less ice reflecting the suns' heat into the atmosphere and soaking into the oceans to heat them; this makes for more evaporation, which makes for more precipitation (in the form of TONS of snow when the jetstream is snaking in from the due north).
Eventually, all that ice that used to be at the North Pole, in Antarctica, and in the Greenland ice sheet will melt, evaporate out of the ocean, and fall as snow as far south as the Rio Grande and the Meditteranean in Europe.
Every ice age was precipitated by a rapid increase in global warming. The ice ages that follow global warming are the earth's feedback mechanism to cool the earth and replensish the ice at the poles. Unfortunately, it always tips too far in the opposite direction until the same cycle can ocurr millenia later.
That's the real danger of global warming... what comes afterward, and as ice cores show, often within weeks. (Flash freezing of mammoths in Siberia with temperate undigested buttercup flowers in their bellies... flash frozen where they were eating, for hundreds of thousands of years.)
Bundle up!

Don't believe all the so called "scientific" models about what's going to happen. They are guesses, nothing more, nothing less. |
