It snowed bunches where I am. Like, the Saturday into Sunday before last, we had nearly 30 inches in the Philadelphia area. And then? Wednesday into Thursday we had something like another 15. This was so crazy. I shoveled my arms the next best thing to off in the past two weeks.
I blame global warming. Hmm-mmm. Not because I'm a contrarian who wants to gainsay the wisdom of the Inhofe grandbabies, nor because I have always wanted to contradict Donald Trump on something, anything, but mostly--you know, if it was personal--it would be the hair. I could so totally fix that mess. I'd cut it into a Caesar style with golden tips and work in buttloads of American Crew product. Provided any of that is his natural hair, which if it isn't, I'd endorse going the full Lex Luthor. It would have to be better. It could not be worse. But anyway--it's not even because Hannity says this storm means global warming is not happening.
I blame global warming because as I understand it, the effect of warming is melting the glacial pack which in turn causes seas to rise and puts more moisture in the air, so that when a storm system hovers over sea, it can pick up more moisture and drop more precipitation--and where the temperature is 32oF or less, this will likely drop as snow. The question is whether 32oF is weird or abnormally cold for the Philadelphia area, or even the Washington DC area--and the answer would be--no! It gets cold, alright. For the historic lows for Philadelphia at this time of year, we could easily see temps in the negative single-digits--but didn't. And actually, and thankfully, we've have several days above freezing, which has helped this mess melt--YAAAAYYYY! We were supposed to see more snow Monday and Tuesday--flakes fell, but they didn't stick--just not cold enough. (Although I really want to have a day or two get up in the '60's and really melt this crap.)
Otherwise, it seems like we're just having the season we call winter, but with an ass-kicking from El Nino.
