Talking global warming

Well my wife and I were watching TV tonight when the subject of global warming was brought up, and an exact quote from her was "if 58 degs in Iowa, in the middle of January is the effect of global warming, bring on the aerosol hair spray". Man was it a nice day here in anycase.





disclaimer this is thread was not started to begin any debates or aurguments or for that matter to even discuss global warming and it's merits nor to discus political issues. It was started and titled as humor so if you can't comment that way please don't reply. It was also started just commenting on what a nice day it was.

We heat Central Canada (Ontario/Quebec) by us in the west cranking up our furnaces & then Opening the doors.

We call it Global Menacing !

When Western Canada gets the warm Pacific winds, we close our doors and hang around outside .

I worked outside today in a Tshirt (Texas). If only we could get some rain before the state burns up.

Up in the top of vermont we like snow and lots of it, and we like it to stay below 32 deg when its winter. Lately maybe the last 5 years or so winter has been lame. This winter is becoming pathetic. Whats all this rain, we usually used to have 3ft of snow on the ground by now, we have 6 inches. two times now the drive has been clean as a whistle no snow on it cause of rain. Who wants to snomobile/ not me.

Well, I was going to let loose on my thoughts on global warming, but that may cause a heated discussion on how silly I think the banning of R-12 is. Oops, did I say that?

Weather stinks around here. Started off this season very cold - didn't let up until a couple weeks ago. It was in the 40s-50s all week last week, now it's 27, and it'll go back up at the end of this week.

Ain't gettin' the snow we used to.

27 straight days of rain, and check out the extended forecast.

At least the skiiers are happy, but we've already broken January rainfall records- on the 15th of the month.
