Thread: this aint right

alright i have seen my share of crazy weather, so nothing should surprise me, but when i see 4 inches of snow in oct. i begin to worry about things, now not that unusual in other areas of this great country of ours, but in west virginia, in the low lands at that, well, i am now waiting to see when the locust are going to come, and mind you i really strongly dislike snow.

I feel ya, Brother. Growing up in Florida, naturally my exposure to snow was nil. I was always convinced I had missed something really cool because I'd never seen snow. I saw my first real snow when I was 18 and most of my career was spent in cold climates (northwest U.S., Alaska and Iceland). After all that I figured out that I had NOT in fact missed anything cool and I'll be completely satisfied if the only snow I ever see the rest of my life is on T.V. October is pretty early for snow, especially in West By God Virginia.

My aunt said that it felt strange selling summer squash at the farmer's market today with snow all around her. Luckily it hasn't hit us westcoasters yet.

Nope, no climate change here.

Global warming caused all this snow.........

Know what happens when you introduce more energy (heat) into a system? The extremes at both ends get more extreme. Familiar patterns become unpredictable.

So yes, global warming causes snow. Ain't facts fun?

I can do without the wet white stuff but I sure do love winter. Cold weather causes me to sleep better and is just refreshing after the hell days of summer here in Florida.

Sorry, make that 90%. Here's something I found after a ten second google search. Though I'm certain I could find a source that finds closer to 99% if I spend more time.
