2010 snowfall...

Rico are you wearing your Indy jacket and trousers there. If you gad your fedora on you'd be in true adventure mode.

Yep - my usual outfit.  Forgot my hat at home.  This weekend I'll get it.  Maybe the whip too!  ;)

You'll need it to fend off polar bears!

Now that's some snow!  Nice pics!

Curse you Al Gore and global warming!! :)

That is a lot of snow, I have been lucky as we not gotten much lately. I feel for all you folks in the east, the snow always looks like the wet heavy stuff, at least the snow we get here is usually not which makes it easier to shovel.

Curse you Al Gore and global warming!! :)

Actual more snow and so forth is exactly what global warming should bring.  Shifting weather patterns, polar ice melting and shifting south.  Read on...

That's exactly what I was going to say!

I hate the guy who had to go and name the phenominon 'Global Warming'. What was he thinking? I still go with the more acceptable (and evident) 'Climate Change' which is creeping in now. A much better term for what's going on.

I've never seen snow like that. Apparently we used to get it over here 50 or more years ago but never in my lifetime. (Having said that, I think I still live a bit too far south to have really experienced that.)

[Rico]

Yep - I still think the short span we have good weather data (even with historical and geologic data added in) is a bit short to make any firm conclusions.  But a ton of snow certainly doesn't dissprove global warming.  It actually only favors the concept.

I had nearly 3 feet on the Jersey shore.  Insane.  I went out shoveling three times on Wednesday, while it was all coming down, and still spent 1.5 hours digging myself out yesterday morning.  Needless to say, I'm very sore.

Re: Global Warming - in my Enviro classes in college, we were forbidden from using the term.  It was "Global Climate Change" or nothing.  So silly.  But that term seems to have dropped off in usage as well...

Actually the current weather pattern is because of El Nino and has very little to do with what is called Climate Change. Also, the sunspot activity is contributing quite a lot to our weather conditions. In any case we have gotten a little more snow this season than is the norm for North Texas although our summers have been cooler on average and this winter just slightly cooler than average. The first picture of my house was taken yesterday afternoon and the others of my backyard were taken this morning. We had close to nine inches of snow. Not quite a record I think but close. The highs will be in the 50s tomorrow so it won't last long.

I remember horrific snowstorms growing up, weeks of 100+ temps in the summer.  Its the weather and is hardly ever constant but to blame it on .39% CO2 in the atmosphere and then to put the blame on mankind?  Silly - here's a book to read
