My “global warming”? Over two weeks of under freezing temps, over a foot and a half of snow and ice on my roof, my Direct TV dish feed knocked out by a low hanging, ice covered limb in the line of site, the inability to get out of my drive even *with* chains and snow studs… and another 3-4 inches of snow enroute from Christmas Eve to Friday. Even my creek is frozen over.
I used to tell people that snow in my neck of the woods was perfect. Just enuf to enjoy the beauty while it falls, but rarely enough to need shoveling.
ooops…. these old bones and muscles are aching! LOL My new job daily? Shoveling myself out over and over. I should try to remove some of that snow from my old roof, but somehow can’t picture myself balancing a ladder on ice to climb up on a roof covered with ice and snow. Not to mention just to get the ladder *to* the roof access, I have to shovel over 2 foot drifts off my deck…
Four snow plows for the entire rural county. Portland has sapped our supply of sand and gravel for city uses. Now they are out of de’icer because they don’t keep a stash large enough to cover these rare snow/ice storms. More is coming on a train… which can’t get in because the rails are buried. HA!
It’s embarrassing to have a region effectively come to a dead halt with a foot and a half to two feet of snow. Especially when you consider this is a pittance compared to New England, MN, WI etal. But they have staff and equipment to deal with what is a normal winter for them.
One of these days I may be able to get to that dish and the limb…. It’s internet news for me only now.
Global warming, my arse.

I live in Central Arkansas….and every year I run a fall garden. This year, it has been so bitterly cold I have lost most of my fall crop. The rest I have had to heavily mulch trying to keep them alive.
We had single digits the other night, and two winter storms with sleet & freezing rain. We do NOT usually get this type of weather until mid-late January. And this started in early December. And our first freeze was in mid-October, and usually the first freeze is around late November. This has been a very cold year for us.
SO I agree with Mata…..Global warming, my arse!!!!

I have a friend in Oregon who was supposed to fly down Monday. Weather prevented that.
Allegedly they weren’t allowed to use alcohol based de-icing soulutions due to “environmental” reasons. Supposedly they could only use warm water. If true, it makes me think we should start shipping the eco-halfwits to Siberia.
Here is a French video done in Quebec by: Les Têtes à Claques. (I couldn’t find the English version, but I think you will understand). Those cartoon videos are done with real human eyes and mouths. They are really funny. They are now sold to the USA and elsewhere in English.
This video is about a guy SWEARING while he is scraping the ice on his windshield car. He says that winter is nice, the nice flakes and Christmas, but we have to be idiots to like winter. He thinks there must have been an error, he should have been born in Hawaïi because he likes the beaches and sun,,, but no, he was born in Repentigny (Quebec). He says that bears are smarter than us, they disappear in winter… we are idiots, we go and by gloves and scrapers at Walmart instead to scrape our car. Watch it it is really good. Of course the characters in those videos use a very popular langage, it is not good French, neither good English.
Although I can’t find any detailed analysis of what to expect for 2008 and why (some touch on it, but I want more detail than they provide).
Also, it looks like we better get shopping for our tinfoil hats if we’re to fit into O’Bunko’s hopey-changeyness, ’cause he’s picked a real loon to be his science adviser. http://motls.blogspot.com/2008/12/crackpot-john-holdren-will-become.html
In fact, that intolerant fruitcake is so out to lunch, even the NYSlime can spot him as a crank.
We are in for a rough 4 years, and maybe longer depending on how much damage they are able to do in that time.
Oh, but Lorraine, don’t you know it’s really warming? I mean, just look at the colors they use on the maps. They’re so red and orange that it must be hot, ….mustn’t it?
And those who deal in this sort of deceit are the clowns who are squandering our tax dollars on that bilge during a “conservative” administration. Just imagine how that will change when O’Bunko and his minions get their people in.

Sorry, I had the wrong link for the second video, I just corrected it now.
IT’S THE SUNSPOTS
And here may be what drives them, the SUV mega-planets, Jupiter and Saturn.

How many of you have heard of that before? Well, there seems to be some work on it, and some credible references to it, as at least some of these are . . . .
