My truck driver buddy got stranded in Hickory NC. He said that they closed the "Hooters" at 4:00 pm. He had to go hang out in the Walmart parking lot. He said that those were some huge snow flakes.
Yes. it really came down, Good ole Global warming !!! Man isn't that a good one.
Guys.No one is seein the extremes of the climate change like us on the eastern seaboard "except for you guys in the deep south.".More hurricanes, worse hurricanes, out of season, crazy weather. sudden warm spells in the middle of -20 for weeks.Only thing I can see is be prepared for what you thought couldn't happen....all the time.P.S. These are still not the winters of my youth in the 70's and 80's but certainly the coldest and snowiest in 10 years or so.
78, Boston got three feet in a day and a half. in the 90`s, we got more than a polar bear`s height over the season, The Perfect Storm buried us good over a week, and a few more I can`t date.
All normal winters. When the flowers and bees are out in Dec. or Jan., then I`ll be concerned. Funny thing about weather is,....it changes. The thing that changes Summer to Winter is Climate change. Been happening for quite some time.
Add the need for Gov. funds, and you`ll hear all kinds of scientific stories.
The recent Polar Vortex, was just a cold front called what the weather people call them.
Just another winter morning here in Connecticut...

This is a non-drum response to a non-drum set of comments.
You and Mark are both 100% entitled to your own 'opinions' about global warming, but you're not entitled to your own 'facts'. Have either one of you read even -one- scientific paper on global warming? That is, - before- you dismissed it all as made-up bunk? I'll bet the farm the answer is 'none.' You both parrot what you hear, (likely Republican talking points on global warming that you both picked up on Fox News,) that's not 'thinking for yourself' it's called being a -blind- follower. Research a subject before you comment on it. Even if you still believe what you believe, but at least it will be an -informed- opinion and not one that just identifies you as a member in good standing of the Flat Earth Society.

I'm just adding my two cents to -your- comments. I hold a different view and thought I'd balance your remarks on global warming with an opposing point of view.

It is funny when your views are opposed you come out with name calling or labels to the views opposite yours. I have read tons on this subject thank you. It is very funny a climate change expedition was just ice snow bound in Antarctica during the summer and had to be rescued by two ice breakers as the first one also was ice locked, Also since this is your forum Joke Velez the rules state no political or religious post and yet just like your great leader the rules seem to mean nothing to you:Snow Flake:Lame
As this was the very thing that larry von ludwig did with his post on fracking to the point I told him over and over and over about it was a political post on a drum forum not allowed. To which you decided to rake me over the razor for 3 paragraphs, and to the point you are now a joke to me. The NOAA Is only 200 years old in the millennium of time it is but a second you are going on a very short history. the earth originally had a poison atmosphere now it sustains life of our type. I will point this out once again this is a drum forum not your personal soap box of your views on non related matters period !! Joke here i KNOW you'll not read this you know it all ole man
http://www.cfact.org/issues/climate-change/ Joke more true facts to wrap that little wanker of yours around,The global warming people may have proclaimed the "end of snow," but the white stuff won't quit falling.
The scientific method demands we adjust the theory to fit the facts, not the facts to fit the theory.
Is global warming science or a cult?

Global warming promoters are flailing wildly about to try and cover up the fact that the real world does not behave the way they smugly proclaimed it would. Quite unsettling.
Computer models call for warming which has not occurred. Who are you going to believe, the models, or your lying eyes?
> not your personal soap box
-YOU- brought it up!
BTW, the reason I jumped all over you in Larry's post is because -you- went off on a political tirade about the president and I was the one reminding you that this is not the venue for that kind of political commentary. For that, you have followed me around insulting me at every opportunity, calling me a communist, a liar and all kinds of slanderous crap. You're just a angry, jealous 'hater' Mark, and a coward who hides behind a keyboard I might add.
Grow up! Every time you spew your bile at me the acid you're pumping eats up -your- stomach, not mine. You do more harm to yourself with your infantile anger issues than you ever do to me with your almost illiterate tirades.
Let's agree to disagree and move on. Just know, I won't take any crap from a complete coward like you.
John
Joke you are a Bold face prevaricator. you are the one one whom has gone off on another political post not I. are these your post or not??? You started this again as per the story continues. Honestly for old man you are the biggest baby I know, wha wha wha cry me a river You started it first what are you 1st grade. the post number 44 is your post below. my post #61 with only one line in sets you off on a rant, Your post was way before mine, how the blazes did I start it cretin???
No brother, you're not crazy, or alone! According to all current scientific projection models, the frequency and intensity of these storms and weather changes is only going to get worse over time. It would take a united effort by all of us to even begin to turn it around. Part of the problem is; half of humanity is still living on a flat earth!
Do you know who Giordano Bruno was? Several hundred years ago he correctly proposed that the Sun was just another star moving in space, and claimed as well that the universe contained an infinite number of inhabited worlds populated by other intelligent beings. The Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy, and he was burned at the stake. After his death he gained considerable fame, particularly among 19th- and early 20th-century commentators who, focusing on his astronomical beliefs, regarded him as a martyr for free thought and modern scientific ideas. We just have to wait for the rest of humanity to wake up and take notice. Then, (maybe) collectively, we'll be able to take steps to -over time- correct some of the problems that we ourselves have created. Talk to the 'flat-earth' crowd that denies anything is going on! Shoot, I may get burned at the stake for saying as much as I have here. LOL
and then here This is a non-drum response to a non-drum set of comments.

Oh wait they didn't exist then, Damn you moron Global warming buffoons really hate it when mother nature doesn't behave the way you say it is or will ????????
