ITS SNOWING>>>HARD>>>>AGAIN!!!
costi:
@harpy - looking at the pics, it's the same here.
As for the salt freezing - if the temperature goes down enough, even water with salt will freeze, IIRC below -5 or -7 is enough.
--- Quote ---Global Warming/Climate change will actually cause snow storms. Because of the increased energy in the atmosphere, it can cause it to snow in the Sahara and have a heat wave in Alaska. That is how climate change and global warming work. It causes extreme weather and climate shifts initially. It doesn't just get 'hotter'.
Climate change is indeed happening, but whether it's caused by humans or not, remains to be seen.

Just a footnote; lots of snow and temperatures way below zero are normal in my part of the world. The previous couple of years with warm winters were, technically speaking, not normal.
Winters like this year were absolutely normal and noone made a fuss about it and called it a crisis.
In the winter of 1978/79 we had what is now called "the winter of the century". It was -30C during the day and there was so much snow that tunnels dug in the snow for trains, buses etc. were higher than said trains ;)

Yeah, we had some pretty heavy snow storms here in Oklahoma but recently haven't had anything. It's just been a bit cold and windy. I for one am ready from the spring season.

We had the most snow in one day ever here in Dallas on 2-12-10. It was great. School was cancelled for a few days too, so that combined with president's day made for a 5 day weekend. :)

Lucky you. I still had to work. That sucked, especially driving in 10 inches of snow with a rear wheel drive truck. Oh well, shit happens. At least my job put me up in a hotel to make it easier. ;D

I'm sick of the damned cold already and I don't even live anywhere where it gets cold enough to even become inconvenient. I feel bad for you folks further north of me for having to deal with the Eskimo weather.
