    I may be mistaken but they are supposed to be getting some nice snowfall this weekend and into next week.

    What industry do you dispatch in?

    I recently went to a concrete convention and my BF and I sat down at a demonstration for this cool dispatching aid. He boasted how dispatchers are SO important and SO stressed, and that this program would takes loads of stress off them. It was a cool demonstration, but for someone who's not a dispatcher... It was incredibly boring. Lol. But we got a free pocket knife at the end with the companies logo on it! Yay for free knives!

    My family, wife and I own a trucking company in the Barnette Shale in North Central Texas. We haul drilling mud. What was the program I am interested in anything that will make my life a little easier.

    It's called "Command Alcon". From what I heard about it, and what you described, it sounds like it would be useful.

    Local weather doesn't equal global climate. Just because certain areas have had record lows doesn't mean the global temperature is lowering. In the same way, just because certain areas have record highs (like Washington and Alaska) doesn't necessarily mean the global temperature is rising.

    Here in Baltimore we beat a record, 72.3 inches so far and it was a pain to try and dig out of. Still have ridiculous roads and haven't left my house since last Friday. Probably won't be leaving in the next couple days either.

    So thanks to every one who bought a prius and carbon credits. Heck it even gave Clinton a heart attack!

    Plus all the snow is BEAUTIFUL. We got a old hood and ran a tow strap to the back of my truck and drove around the property a few rounds until we were thoroughly covered in wet snow and mud from head to toe!

    Mike - Global Warming is so yesterday! They now call it Climate Change, so that they won't be wrong any longer, after all the climate is always changing!

    No matter that it's cyclical and it's simply repeating a pattern we saw in the 70's before there was Global Warming.

    Guess no one in the "Climate Change" or "Global Warming" camp really wants anyone to know that the ice caps are starting to rebuild again in the southern hemisphere. Oh wait - that was supposed to happen, right?

    But....we had LESS hurricanes this season......:confused:

    You're too funny. That was a joke, right? You don't honestly think that global trends are indicated by looking out your window in the US during winter. Right?

    "Global warming", as I understand it, is the name of a complex theory...not a forecast.

    And it is a complex theory...probably written out over one or two or maybe even a dozen pages. It's amazing how all that complex theory can be overlooked because people think they know enough to disprove the entire theory because they can 'debunk' the first two words....the title.

    "Global warming" brings wet weather because warm air is capable of carrying more moisture. But I'd like put out a little disclaimer here. I've never done testing on the moisture carrying capabilities of air, but I'm going off of what I've been told. Just like I'm sure nobody on here has gone down to the Southern Glaciers to verify that they are "re-growing".


    Theory of Plate Tectonics? BLAH! Plates are flat and the earth is round! :rolleye2:
