How's Global Warming Working For You ?

A very balmy 22°F here at halftime.

Go Pats.

Yesterday at Oymyakon, Russia, one of the great tourist meccas of the world, the recorded low temperature was

minus 76°F.

I saw that temperature on the news and thought it is a good thing we don't have that here.

The Pats. aren't having it as easy as I thought they would.

Yea Pats

1 more to go!

I used to be a Giants fan way back when because they were always on TV in the Boston area, even b/4 the Pats. But that changed.

So I should be cheering for the Giants over GB. Sorry

Go Green Bay. Don't do a Tampa Bay on us

I hear ya Tru. Its 21°F now at 6:30 with temp overnight forecast at 6°F.

Global warming has done terrible things to the L.A. freeway system. Sales of the Toyota Prius were high (as were, probably, the buyers...) and now all those people are getting on the freeways and screaming along at a blistering 50 mpg.



Used to be if there was a traffic jam there was an accident. Nowadays, the only thing you'll find at the beginning of a traffic jam is a Toyota Prius.

Your pal,

Meat,

You need cameras to catch people driving at unsafe SLOW speeds. I haven't been down there for years, but even then I could imagine what some person doing 50 would create behind him. Up here it seems the 18 wheelers like to drive side by side and block traffic while they chat on their radios. They will back traffic up behind them for miles and when you suddenly see a lane start to move you know a CHP car has been spotted and one of the trucks has pulled back into the slow lanes to let traffic by. This is as bad as the stuff you have, but is not called for as they can pass each other and go on at the speed limit. I have gotten to the point I like to see one of them pulled over and the CHP is doing it. We just don't have enough to patrol all the roads up here as it is so scattered out and there are long stretches of I-5 for one CHP officer to patrol.

Wow,

Another severe weather warning for here this morning. Snow level could drop to 1,000 feet which is just above the dam. It is cold as all get out but I haven't gone out to look at my thermometer as I will wait until it gets light enough to see. Must be overcast as black as it is.

Yes, at night it is overcast. Lack of sun does strange things.

All the way up to 14°F now. It was down to about 6°F last night. Still waiting for Al Gore to come by and drop off some global warming.
