Drudge has so keenly pointed to the weather forecast for the DC area, coming up this Wednesday. Ironically, it's the same day Brother Al Gore's traveling global warming show was to hit Washington, he is to make his case in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Now, you Gorites can call me superstitious if you like. You can call me an idiot, a heretic, or whatever makes you feel good. Really, I don't care. But as you do it, stop, give a little pause, and think about this. If you recall, this happened last year too. They were set to rip into this, full bore.
Maybe last year, you thought it to be a coincidence the hearings were iced out on the very day they were to commence. And if we are realistic, I think one could have safely made that argument back then. (I have seen some odd coincidences over my many years. )
Once, yes. But twice? Maybe, just maybe, maybe we should consider that somebody, just might be trying to tell somebody, something. It's not too hard to grasp, is it?
Folks, I think this is starting to look like the early makings of a pattern. So as I appeal to the benevolence and compassion of progressives everywhere, I would like to specifically ask Al's faithful to please lay off of this garbage at least until May. I, for one, am sick of this winter weather and I'd like for you all to shut up until it is over. The weather they will be getting there on Wednesday is the weather I am getting on Tuesday.
Is this too much to ask?
If it is too much of a burden to impose and not feasible at this time, consider that you do your argument and cause, a great disservice.

Al may have to turn his big-ass jet right around and fly off to a more sunny climate.
No biggie, though. He'll just buy some more carbon credits.
The winter has been brutal, and I'm constantly thinking of the Goracle.
Couple funny news stories about him recently. One is a guy in Alaska who erected like, a 5-ton ice sculpture of Al Gore and invited him to see the unveiling. Gore didn't show.
The other, not so funny, was a headline in the NYT about "Warming in Antartica." Then you read the article and you find that the warming was only at some weather stations. At other weather stations in the south pole, there was cooling. It's friggin' propaganda, I tell you!

There's a little town by a lake in Florida I am thinking about. He could set up shop there.

What a waste of time. But it was Gore's wasted opportunity, he could have set out on a crusade through the entire state, winning souls for junk science.
We had 2 weeks of below 0°C weather in Paris and I don't remember it ever being that cold that long in the 30+ years that I've been here.
Amerloque. Can you confirm?
While everyone knows that present weather doesn't = climate, as you say LA it's as if a message is being sent. It's really uncanny, to tell the truth.
Thing is, Susan Solomon from NOAA has now come out and said global warming is irreversible and will last til the year 3000 even if we do nothing, so why do anything? If I were a politician I'd use that study to backburner the issue.

We've been below freezing since I can remember.

Believe it or not, I think lay people are starting to question this more now. I am not a scientist or a pollster, but have noticed something this winter.
One of the past posts I did last winter, still gets a lot of hits even until this day.
Hi Rocket !

Oh, yes: Amerloque can confirm that this is one of the colder winters in over thirty years, if not the coldest. (grin)
It was a very cold, white Christmas in 1970, from about December 21 or so thru Epiphany. That was the year when Amerloque first decided to make a Christmas goose, à l‘anglaise, rather than the usual turkey. The trip to the wholesale market at Rungis (about twelve miles outside of Paris, for those unfamiliar with it ..) was epic. (grin)
One year Amerloque remembers particularly well is 1976. It was the year of the memorable ‘big summer drought’, which led to that special mandatory ‘loan’ to farmers, financed by a special tax on all income tax payers. The winter of ’76/’77 was punctuated by a vast and lasting snowfall. There was about two feet of snow and the whole northern part of the country was paralyzed (although nowhere near the problem(s) in Indianapolis, LAS, if MNBC News last night – Wednesday - is to be believed …) for over a week. At the time Amerloque had two dogs … and lived in an apartment only accessible by steps. Yes, he remembers the snow and ice quite well (grin).
Amerloque doesn’t recall that ’70 and ’76/’77 were particularly cold over such a long period, as this current snap as been: they were snowy rather than freezing; This year it has indeed been very, very cold, and Amerloque hasn’t been going out too much at all, given his health.
BTW, Amerloque wonders what the Paris eco-ayatollah warmists have to say. (grin)
Best,
L’Amerloque

Officially they say we got 12.something inches, but it looks like 14. Back in 82, I lived in a town about 70 miles from here, called Terre Haute. One night I went to bed and it was raining cats and dogs. While I slept, it turned to snow and when I awakened, there was almost two feet of snow on the ground.
Believe it or not, I made it to work that day only 10 minutes late. I had just taken that job and boasted how I rarely miss work and they could count on me to be there everyday, unless I was dying.
I stopped at a stop light and got stuck for a little while but kept on persisting. Once I got going, I ran every stop light and sign in the city, as there was no other traffic out at that time. I got into the parking lot and immediately got stuck in the middle of it.
I soon abandoned the car in the center of a field of snow and trekked on into the front door, where one of the bosses was standing with a blank stare on her face. It seemed I was the only one that had made besides her. As I entered she said, " you made it", as if surprised that anyone did. I just looked and said, "yes I did, sorry I am late though" and went to work.
