Default Is spring ever going to get here ????????????????????

I'm so sick of winter.

Took the Vette out of the garage for a little sunbathing.

Too much salt and crud on the roads and I haven't called and added full coverage insurance on it yet, so it didn't get any farther than the driveway. Still loving my C6...

No chit. We had snow (no accumulation anyway) yesterday. In Virginia, on the coast 15 minutes north of NC. Global warming, my buttocks.

I relocated from Hawaii the end of November, so I'm probably taking a little hard right about now.

It isn't raining and none in the forecast. While it is 47* right now and going to get colder, I am still driving the Silver one tonight

If it's too cold, too hot, too wet, or too dry, it's always global warming.

Global warming is the cause of recent high levels of snow, not a sign it doesn't exist, and such has been the prediction of most recent climate studies. Drought and wildfires is another change we've been seeing in recent years. Increased levels of water in the atmosphere from melting glaciers increases the chance and levels of precipitation, and since global temperature differences amount to only a degree or so of increase over a decade or more it is still below freezing in areas that normally see these temperatures. Thus, there is more snow than normal in some areas.

There's a big difference between climate and weather. The snowfall is a function of weather, and climate change is a global phenomenon, in no way a function of local weather. In the Deep South where I live it's been like spring most of the winter, with temperatures considerably above normal. It's 81° as I write this, and it's been like this all week.
