    Sorry, can't see the sun too much wind and snow whipping around. It must be 30 below with the wind right now and the next to days will be around 50 below with the wind. They already cancelled all the schools for two days.

    Blame it on global warming.....oh wait, that one wasn't washing any more, so it's now called climate change. Still, they have a real problem with that agenda as the sun is in a lull and the earth is actually cooling at present with some concerned of a mini ice age period. Time to fire up the coal plants again.

    Anyway, yes thankfully the days are getting longer.

    Polk climate science is leaps and bounds ahead of any real science, as usual!

    That info was from real "climate scientists" as much as they can be relied upon.

    I believe you meant to say from my direction, if I'm not mistaken? [That I and others like me can't possibly be right and we're just blowing hot air out of you know where--does that pretty much sum it up?]. No need to continue this. There is no real debate except the one that certain interests want to perpetuate for their own economic gain. And tell me "in all honesty" that ones politics have nothing to do with WHAT side of this debate one is on? lol You choose your politics "first" and then "cherry pick" your scientists to fit them.

    As for me, after a year in the PRC and having been back several times since 1986. I don't need anyone to tell me that we are NOT affecting the earth's climate. Chinese satellite pictures show it. And the air in most Chinese cities is toxic.

    Adieu!

    When the meteorologists/scientistists can accurately tell me what the weather will be in 10 days i'll give some consideration to what they say about 10 years from now.
    Meanwhile back at the facts,the temp has plateaued for the last 15+ years.

    Actually, the ice age stuff came from your side of the fence. I'd say nice try, but it really wasn't.

    Crap, does this mean I'll have to cut the grass soon ? Well, given the choice between cutting the grass and shoveling snow, Think I'd prefer to cut the grass. Least I can do that naked, keeps the bugs away....and those pesky neighbors.

    The only thing I'll say on the global warming aspect is if you haven't figured out by now that governments lie to you to push agendas, then your sadly behind the curve. Know what my agenda is ? Keeping as much as possible of what I earn while retaining as much liberty as I can swallow. Think there may be some confrontation there ? You betcha...

    Okay, the generator has been gassed up and tested. Got a full bottle of propane and plenty of charcoal. Freezer was already stocked. Pipes already wrapped.
    This should pretty much ensure we will NEVER lose power. Ha!
