I know Stuck has to deal with that every day of his life (bada bing), but getting 3 to 5 inches of snow on March 20, the first day of Spring, really pisses me off. We’ve had one 58 degree day in all of March and now another snow storm. My Friday night commute is already the worst of the week. With the boneheads who can’t drive in snow, I’m just about guaranteed a 2 hour commute home tonight. This will not be a funny Friday. If any asshole tells me this is due to global warming (oh I forgot – climate change) I’ll tear their fucking head off.
it is global warming, wake up!
I did wake up, to sub-freezing temperatures on March 20 and a snow storm.
It just goes to show how dumbed down and deluded the general population has become when they believe storylines based upon false data presented by academics who can’t predict what the weather will be in the next 24 hours but expect us to believe their little computer models can predict global climate.
Dumbasses abound on this planet.
Funny Admin, first thing I thought when I saw the title was that you got some this morning. Where’s Alex? This is where the cult tells us that the global warming is making everything colder.
I just did a quick search, and a couple things become apparent. First, even with the record cold and snows from the past couple years, the MSM and colleges have seemed to quit publishing/promoting the “lists” of top snowstorms. Huh. If one were a conspiracy theorist believer, one might wonder of what scientific/fact reporting interest is “news” or “science” that intentionally distorts reality? Anyway, I digress…
THREE of the country’s top ten snowstorm occurred in March or April. Spring seems to be hard coming to the US.
The largest snowfall ever recorded in Michigan, was in April. *sigh*
In 1886, (from memory, may be off a year or decade, around then) was known as the Year without a Summer. There was recorded snow in Detroit, EVERY month.
Flash forward to the 70s, when A/C wasn’t in most homes, as we had three or four years with brutal summers, highs near 100 for a couple weeks, lows in the 80s, brutal, but fun for a kid.
Winter lasts longer than most remember (cognitive dissonance at its finest), summer isn’t usually as brutal as most remember either. Strange how our collective minds work.
Good luck on the flipside Admin. I’ll say a prayer.

Sorry about that Jim tried attaching picture. Will do it this way. I thought it was funny a picture of snowman buried in snow.

Hear ye, hear ye! Thank you for your thoughts.
With apologies to Gloria Gaynor, I WILL SURVIVE!!
——
At first I was afraid I was petrified
Thinking of Algores carbon credits and suicide
And I’ve been spending nights
Thinking how to use less fuel
To hell with joule
Its for a Republican ghoul
And now it snows
In fuckin’ spring
Shoveling snow at my age with my fat ass in a sling
I should have moved to Florida
Tell Al to kiss my ass
While the damn hypocrite flies his jet and burns all that gas
Go on, pile snow up to my door
Who gives a shit
You’re nothing but a fat whore
You’re the one who tried to hurt me with your Lie
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to shovel
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
My parents need my shovel to survive
I, I, I will survive

Going to Pittsburgh for work conference next week. From looks of that weather radar I’m not going to get any relief from snow. Oh well. Look on bright side it’s the first day of spring!
Spent all morning crawling around a railyard in Mechanicsburg in a fucking blizzard…after spending all week crawling around a railyard in New Castle…cold as fuck every morning…couple that with absolutely bazaar liquor laws and I am happy to be leaving PA today.
Of course there’s climate change, it’s called SPRING. John
Stuck, that was inspired 🙂
@Drud, PA has carnival/market-type liquor laws? How’s that work? lol

A Warning To The GloBull Warming Screamers
Something worth reading from Michael Crichton….
http://www.michaelcrichton.net/essay-stateoffear-whypoliticizedscienceisdangerous.html
Imagine that there is a new scientific theory that warns of an impending crisis, and points to a way out.
This theory quickly draws support from leading scientists, politicians and celebrities around the world. Research is funded by distinguished philanthropies, and carried out at prestigious universities. The crisis is reported frequently in the media. The science is taught in college and high school classrooms.
The first test of whether someone is practicing actual science is that when a given hypothesis predicts a result, and that result does not occur under the conditions of the test, they discard the hypothesis.
If that person is either (1) caught falsifying or distorting data or (2) continues to stick to their claims even in the face of a blown experiment there is in fact nothing scientific about their claims.
What there may be, however, is tyranny, theft, fraud and suppression of those who they dislike.
Where they should wind up is in prison, not on a stage.
I’m looking at you, Al Gore.
This seem like as good a place as any to post this:
Obama orders government emissions cuts
BY JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press
EXECUTIVE ORDER
Under Obama’s executive order, the government must:
› Cut energy use in federal buildings 2.5 percent every year through 2025.
› Reduce the amount of water used in federal buildings 2 percent every year through 2025.
› Decrease federal vehicle emissions by 30 percent per mile by 2025, compared to 2014 levels.
› Ensure federal agencies get 25 percent of their energy – both heat and electricity – from clean sources by 2025.
› Put more hybrid and zero-emission vehicles in the federal fleet.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Barack Obama ordered the federal government on Thursday to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by nearly half over the next decade, driving his climate change agenda forward despite percolating challenges from Republican-led states.
By curtailing pollution within the U.S. government, Obama sought to increase political pressure on other nations to deal seriously with climate change. The U.S. and other nations will soon announce how much they’re willing to cut their national emissions as part of a global climate treaty to be finalized in December; scientists warn that if those pledges are too lax, the treaty could be too weak to stop the worst effects of global warming.
“We thought it was important for us to lead by example,” Obama said at the Energy Department headquarters, where he toured a sprawling installation of solar panels on the building’s roof. “These are ambitious goals, but we know they’re achievable goals.”
Under an executive order signed by Obama, the government must cut its emissions of the heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming by 40 percent, compared to 2008 levels — a move the White House said could save taxpayers up to $18 billion in electricity costs. Obama also directed agencies to ramp up use of renewable energy so that within a decade, roughly one-third of the government’s power consumption will come from sources like solar, wind and hydropower.
Yet it was unclear how the government would meet those targets. The White House said it was providing agencies with new tools to track their progress and “sustainability plans,” but offered no specifics.
Already, Obama’s administration has gone after most of the major sources of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, including cars and trucks, power plants, methane from natural gas production and refrigerants. The administration was also expected to release new rules for “fracking” — hydraulic fracturing for gas or oil — on public lands as early as Friday.
Most of those regulations have faced intense opposition from the energy industry and from Republicans — including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who wrote the nation’s 50 governors on Thursday urging them to defy Obama’s power plant rules by refusing to submit compliance plans to Washington. In contrast, Obama’s order cutting emissions within the government elicited no immediate criticism.

Admin,
Plenty hot down here in Cancun. To bad I have to go back Sunday. I will have to remember this for the first day of spring next year.
Bob.

You deserve Cancun after your winter. It is supposed to stay in the 40s or below for the rest of the month here in Philly. I really need to move somewhere warm. St. Thomas would do.
