"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

B-r-r-r-r!
We've had record low temperatures here in Northern Virginia and Washington, and this morning there's a light blanket of snow on the ground.
Wait, what? Just last month, when the East Coast was having record high temps, we were told this was "irrefutable evidence" of man-made global warming, er... climate change, and winters would never be the same (i.e. a white Christmas would be a thing of the past) - never mind that here in California (and the everything else west of the Rockies) we were having near-record lows. Now that Arctic trough has moved east, and "weather ≠ climate".
It's sad that the Weather Channel has become "infotainment" and as politicized as the rest of the Media.
The best part of the story is the threatening proposal from the chair of the Duma's transportation committee. "Unless local bureaucrats face the wrath of legal action, winter will remain a surprise occurrence. They do nothing while the people suffer." Yeah, that'll fix it. The weather prognosticators will never be surprised if the "wrath" is felt, and therefore people won't suffer, especially those working round the clock shifts dealing with this. Insert the "Camelot" theme...but in a deeper voice. This guy could work on the Hill.
When is Barry sending aid?
Arizona had record snowfall in 1968 like Russia is having now. Indianapolis had a "storm of the century" in the early '80s. Parts of New York always get heavy snow. Clear proof of whatever it's called thus week.
Yeah, what you might call a "Napoleonic" winter in Russkie-land.
ReplyDeleteI blame the 11 year solar cycle. What can I say? I'm a rebel.
