And we have. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, I would suggest to you that with the sheer quantity and quality of hydrocarbons we have been dumping into our atmosphere, we have made major changes to your planet's weather systems. Add to that the reduction by factors of 100 the forest cover that existed just 300 years ago and I rest my case. Granted, you can put your head in the sand and claim "No recorded data", but that statement, sadly, does not change reality.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, just suggesting we look a little deeper than the casual "weather man" diatribe.

Putting aside all this logical stuff for a moment, I would like to sincerely apologise to all the folks that experienced snow over the past few days; that was my fault.
In an effort to get my slammed Vette onto a 2 post lift, I was forced to kill a chicken and shake the voodoo stick a few times. I was subsequently informed that this was the snow dance and now it was going to snow in the far North.
Sorry :bb :bb :bb
