    I'll ask Al Gore what's up with that.
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I'm confused about climate change . . . global warming causes melting glaciers, but it also causes the "weather" to make massive blizzards.

    Well, that's your problem. Snowblowers are supposed to blow, not suck. Are you sure you weren't using it backwards?

    Maybe the "Snow" Paco Lips guy could help you out with that?

    i dont think the snow is gonna be a big deal. it'll just take a lil longer for ppl who decide to commute to work. I think I'll just work from home tomorrow. Banks are gonna be pretty empty tmr, not so much because of the snow, but because of something called laziness.

    I bet we've seen more snow in central VA this year than the last 5-10 years combined...

    I am most definitely tired of it. And we are getting 18" to 2 ft at a time, which renders my AWD Audi useless. Can't drive in it if you can't clear it.......

    And I used to live in NH, so I know what this is like on a weekly basis, we just moved from there for a reason.....

    No snow here in the Montreal area....no snow forecasted for the Montreal area....no F'N snow nearby....why am I pissed? Because if I wanna use my NEW 10 F'N grand snowmobile I have to trailer it at least 2 hours away...the trails around here were destroyed weeks ago by F'N rain and mild weather.

    I hope by anthropogenic you really meant to cite increased solar surface activity, because that's the exclusive reason the climate is as it is. You have an inflated opinion of man's abilities if you believe otherwise. Go sit near an active volcano some day if you want to experience in one day what man has accomplished in a century. And here's another hint; watch out for what even a small meteor strike can put into the atmosphere.

    You must have missed Climategate. You may have also missed the fact that there was a blizzard in Copenhagen (an extremely rare event) as world leaders met to discuss limits on emissions that contribute to global warming. Oh, the irony!!!
