Record Snowfall? - 2010-02-07 17:22:45

Why is the Dec. 19th storm counted for this winter? Didn't that storm technically occur during the FALL, not winter?

Of course global warming is still occurring. Despite 10 years of no warming. Despite the East Anglia emails. Despite data being rigged. Despite monitoring stations being cherry picked. Despite Siberian tree rings being cherry picked. Despite the hockey stick graph being altered. Despite the IPCC using anecdotal evidence and misreporting numbers (30 years vs. 300 years on the himalyayas that also turns out to be anecdotal), etc. etc. etc.

credit not blame - 2010-02-07 00:00:18

Most of us true Americans do not see record snowfalls anything for which blame must be assigned. We surely won't give credit to Bush for anything so beautiful and powerful as this seasons snow.
