Hey, it's 50% warmer than the original forecast high of only 2 degrees.
Supposed to get up to 12 Monday and all the way to 27 Tuesday.
With that 27 degrees comes an 80% chance of snow.

While I don't agree with Al Gore being the guru of weather, (Didn't he also invent the Internet:)), I do think we need to be conscious of what we are doing to our environment.
I am not against conservation at all.
All that was kind of a disclaimer. :)

A friend of mine told me recently that because of the cold weather we are having, the tree huggers are now talking about "Climate Change" rather than "Global Warming". Anything to:
1. Sell their books
2. Have a good sounding excuse to solicit money
3. Give them an out when their predictions aren't coming true.

We still need to do something about pollution and alternative energy sources, but I personally think a lot of the people are in it for the publicity and money.
A good example is the new solar powered ship from Japan. Great publicity, but the power isn't too great.
"The solar power system can generate 40 kilowatts, which would initially cover only 0.2 percent of the ship's energy consumption for propulsion, but company officials said they hoped to raise the ratio."
Good idea, but it seems to generate a lot more publicity than power.

I'll agree with most of that.....

The original Toyota Priuses that came from Japan took about 60-80 gallons of the dirtiest fuel to xport across the sea. Fuel so dirty that no country would allow it to be used on continent.

IMHO it is a personal choice and responsibility for people to use resources wisely.
 
Going down to 3 and stay there for a few days so say the forecasters.:passout:

Are these the same people that track the hurricanes and issue all the warnings for you? :)

Hot, cold, wet, dry, windy, shaky, I don't think any climate in the U.S. is perfect and I sure as heck don't want to live anywhere other than in the U.S.
I've made it this long, I can probably survive another winter. :D

I never really gave it much thought till right now.
If I am completely honest about it, other than hating to have a dirty vehicle, I really don't have that much problem handling the winter weather.
You just learn to dress for it and respect what can happen.
 
Actually that's National Hurricane Center, which I also have bookmarked :D

We've done OK the past few years, though.

Personally, I can't stand the FL weather in the summer time (it's like a damn oven outside) and am thinking about moving, slightly north.

My car is always dirtiest in the summer, because it's so hot that I want nothing to do with being outdoors, plus it rains everyday. I'll stop complaining now. :D

I agree!

I read somewhere last week that the current cold spell is PROOF of global warming!:confused:
