    Thank you...

    To every one who has helped fight global warming! We have record snow fall across the country! 9" here in Rio Vista Texas WOW I have never seen this much snow here in Texas (obviously due to the fact its a record)

    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!

    lol. You're welcome.

    "Global Warming" was predicted to cause extremes at both ends anyhow. We have many more heavy snowfalls and class 3-5 hurricanes to look forward to in the near and distant future.

    So when the globe warms up we get colder weather?

    The way I understand it is the glaciers melt, that cold water enters into the big streams in the oceans, making the warm ones colder, and we get colder weather due to that. But I could be totally wrong

    That doesn't make much sense. I am no educated scientist or anything but I would think that the streams might be colder but I wouldn't think that is would effect air temp and it wouldn't even register in a large body of water.

    That's how it was explained to me, who knows? It seems like they change the explanation all the time. But the temperatures of those currents do greatly affect our weather systems, especially on the coast, so maybe more hurricanes or something? That's the best I've got, hahaha To google!

    Re: Thank you...

    If the snow on the east coast disporves global warming, does the lack of snow in Vancouver disprove the proof that disproved global warming?

    I didn't really mean for this to be a global warming thread (bad joke gone worse?) I don't believe that global warming is true, I just find it especially funny that were getting record snow fall across the country in the midst of all this green malarkey.

    The original point to this thread, THIS SNOW IS AWESOME. I love the snow it is so pretty and clean and refreshing and pure and relaxing. We shut down completely today. That means 0 phone calls (I am a dispatcher so my phone rings day and night and I MUST answer it) no work no head ache no trucks stuck no people complaining no one to deal with but me and my family. It is a blissful thing that I don't get often, haven't gotten in over two years. <sorry about the crummy sentence structure.
