I'm Ready for the East Coast Blizzard. Bring it On!

My cousin's husband worked at NCAR for over 35 years. It's located in Boulder CO and is very close to where the intro to Mork and Mindy ran through the field, flying a kite at the 25 second mark. If they turned around and ran uphill they run into NCAR.

Beautiful but deadly - where you located?

.....because your attention span is only two seconds, and you can't remember the rest of the post.

Believe me, I'm a Doctor.

I want to ask you a serious question;

Drop Dead.

Vicodin. - Check!

Goodbye Cruel World letter. - Check!

Well, true to form, my problem child (daughter) along with her daughter had a domestic problem ... I had to go out in this and it was a nightmare on the roads. Kept it in 4 wheel the whole way going 20 mph tops. The roads here have not been cleared until you reach a more major road. Brought them here and now they are here for the duration. I don't even know if I will be able to make it out again any time soon with the accumulations being called for.

Those horses needed snow shoes with metal cleats.

Good luck, Mr. Science. lol

Cheers. - Frank

It's funny that you don't even know what the predictions are for global warming. This is EXACTLY what is being predicted...EXTREMES...hot/cold, wet/dry, more severe tornados, typhoons and hurricanes more often. If you're going to be a denier, at least know what you're denying.


PS. Let me know when there's icebergs floating in the Panama Canal.

Fixed that for you.

Cheers. - Frank

It's a good thing, too. I mean who would we have to constantly lie to us when our government takes a day off? :-)

Cheers. - Frank

Not even one snow flake.
In fact total snow accumulation in the yard for the whole winter so far is less then an inch.
We do have a chance of another rain storm this Tuesday though

I'm sure they did, but didn't heed the warnings. Problem is, it started with ice, so on a mountainous road, there's a sheet of ice under all that snow. A reporter is stuck there too and reporting as she sits in her car since yesterday.

I was wrong. It is still coming down hard here. I just couldn't tell whether it was fresh falling snow or blowing snow from all the wind we have here. Here's the wood pile now. By tonight, I wonder if I will be able to find it. lol.

Hi Suzanne!
Glad to hear you are prepared! Sorry you had to go out in it, but at least your daughter and granddaughter are safe with you!

Last month, we had 11 days straight of snow! The drifts were at least 3 1/2 foot deep, but the actual snow fall was around 2". So far living here, I have had to deal with 6' of snow, 3' came all at once! That's the day I learned how to drive our tractor! (My husband was out of state!). I plowed all the live long day, while it snowed! I was soaking wet, cold and the Baileys and coffee in my mug was cold...

All that work was to get my husband a clear path down our driveway! It's 2/10'ths of a mile long.. I knew I had it wide enough for our truck... hahhahahaha.. what I didn't expect was the trailer he was pulling had wheel wells.

I really had used up my space between the fences, so the snow was stacked really high! 14+ hours of driving for him to get to here from Eugene OR (should have been 8), and he gets stuck half way down the drive!

Thank goodness for our JD 4120. What a work horse! He pulled with the tractor, I drove the truck/trailer.

We never lost power that storm, but we lose power here every time there is a big wind storm! We did lose power last month with the 11 days of snow. It was just for two days, but having all the right stuff sure makes it easier!

Stay safe and warm!

That depends on your cellmate.

Glad you mentioned making tracks so snow would melt...my first thought was "man, her daughter must be getting on her nerves if she's willing to drive out in that!"

We didn't get any of this stuff - had a couple inches earlier in the week. I tend to hunker down and enjoy the solitude when I get snowed in but most people I know get an overwhelming urge to "get out for a while".

For future reference, park next to the road. Only a few feet to dig out, and you can always hike through the snow if you have to.

In Ohio, I learned (the frikkin hard way! when it took 6 hours to shovel my cars out one time) to park the truck on the hill at the start of the driveway (and the car just in front of it) when a big one was coming. First, it filled up the space with cars rather than with snow. Second, the snow would drift in the road where the plow would get it rather in the driveway "hill cut" where I would end up shoveling a 36" drift every time we got 4" of snow. I just had to dig out a couple feet of "plow pile" and let the snow blow off the truck on the country road.

Well, there ya go. That's scientific enough for me.

[/sarcasm]

..... Right .... yawn

I'm sorry, but is simply not the case. The area is larger, but the thickness of the ice is much less. The facts are out there should you choose to 'unearth' them.

Cheers. - Frank

BTY, you always "know" the only qualified people, but folks I know, like my cousin that worked at NCAR who made it his life's work are ignorant according to you.


You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. The predictions may not be correct, however what has been predicted is fact. And so far, the predictions have been very accurate. Anyone that can't admit that either doesn't know what the predictions really are, or has no intellectual integrity.[/QUOTE]

Bull.

Get with the program. There's more ice on both than in the last 20 years. I'm sorry - your grip on technological science is pretty strong, but natural science, not so much. .[/QUOTE]


Bull I know far more about natural science than you do. Nice try.



Actually, Siberia is in trouble, at least in one aspect. Buildings in Siberia are collapsing because they were using the permafrost as foundations. And the permafrost is melting. And your boy Putin runs the country that will benefit most. The US, Canada and Russia have been having talks over who owns what when it's exposed as the ice melts. This will open the Northern Passage, and will need ports. A northern passage will require lots of ports and will bring cash cows to whoever owns them, since virtually all shipping from Europe to Asia will no longer need to go through the Panama Canal.


Also, as the Planet warms, our farm land will become semi-arid and the
bread belt will move farther north, melting the perma frost in Canada and Siberia and making them and making them farmland.


Follow the money and were does it take you? Big oil and Russia. No wonder Putin is laughing, he's laughing all the way to the bank. I know you're Russian but this is ridiculous.



You mean when there London office had their email hacked? Two points of interest about that. 1 It was found they did nothing wrong. 2. The hack in came from Russia....what a coincidence huh?


PS. Even 7 former US generals and admirals, you know those super liberal tree huggers, said in 2007(?) believe global warming is a security issue due to extreme droughts and then extreme floods will cause issues with people becoming refugees, exactly what is happening now with Syrians. Many Syrian farmers have been unable to farm.




Let me teach you a little about solar science so you understand what you are talking about. Here's how you (should) know about it...If it had anything to do with what our Sun does, then it's logical to assume that the temps would be rising during the day time and during summer. However, just the opposite is happening that it's the it's night time and winter temps that have been rising the most, which is consistent with rises in CO2.





I do find it funny I'm only arguing. I thought it took two to argue?


And this is exactly why you are a conspiracy theorist. You feel every one is lying and out to get you, and that it's impossible for them just to be wrong, let alone that you are wrong.



Or, I can just ask another cousin that's in the National Guard had has been stationed in the Artic

Just because you can growl louder and can be aggressive about the subject -- doesn't mean you know squat about whats coming out of your mouth. You call me a conspiracy nut when I've got thousands of scientists on my side, despite them not being on TV...........and I'm gonna call you an undereducated drooling useful idiot. I'm that sick of that shyte -- so there it is buddy.

7 years. Stock up on the long johns.[/QUOTE]


First no need to lie. I've never called you a nut. I've called you a denier and/conspiracy theorist.


And if you have thousands, I've got hundreds of thousands and dozens of countries on mine side and none of them are names Art Robinson.


Don't forget, warming/cooling isn't the only issue. CO2 is a serious health issue. And we can tell man made CO2 from natural CO2 on the molecular level I know you feel entitled to poison my air for free, but I disagree and if you put CO2 you should take responsibility for it. I don't care who gets the money as along as you pay your share of poisoning my air..


Don't worry what you call me, there's no one's opinion I respect less. But could you get a little creative? You being a self-proclaimed genius should able to come up with something else other "drooling"? And the more you don't like, bet on me doing more of it. I've avoided it, but from now on I'm all-over every dumbass post you make from now own. I have a feeling I'll be pretty busy from now.

Yes!


I will do another "told you so" probably this year, if things go well, and some here will probably ignore it as much as possible and go on another bash fest?

After all if a gang of bullies, belts up someone in the far end school corner then they must be right!

I will look forward to that day Sal.


And - the last time the gov and the NASA sub-corporation put out graphs and "satellite pics" they got caught with their pants down. I just go read what the actual majority of non-gov funded climatologists and paleo-geologists have to say about it. I've put the link up several times, but seems people in here want to watch the news on TV instead of actually digging into what scientists are saying themselves.[/QUOTE]



BTY, you always "know" the only qualified people, but folks I know, like my cousin that worked at NCAR who made it his life's work are ignorant according to you.

Jesus, Kurt. There's nothing wrong with either pole area. Get with the program. There's more ice on both than in the last 20 years. I'm sorry - your grip on technological science is pretty strong, but natural science, not so much. Do you understand how the taxes collected for "warming" are going to be distributed? Did you know that Russia is laughing - that's where Siberia is, and THAT is not in trouble, nor are the Himalayas -- unless the scientists actually ON the Himalayas are the liars. India almost walked out of the talks because of faked IPPC data. Yeah - I follow it a lot closer than watching a tv show.

Desertification has a lot to do with areas of no snow and what seems to be "warming". Don't have to believe me -- go to one of the authority sites on desertification - maybe a college site and read about it. If you can't figure it out, it's a long and lengthy issue to study so I'm not going to sit here and explain it. okay. Read some solar science - that's kind of an issue, too. Got inconvenient for "warmers" when sun cycle 24 wasn't as strong as they had expected. Then go learn something about paleo-geology. They know a lot about past conditions that just didn't seem to be reported accurately by your favorite climatologists.

Like I said when you decided you had to argue it down. "Deniers" aren't f***ing deniers - they are in the school that says it's getting colder. Now why wouldn't our world govs want us to know that? Panick maybe. Know what happens to 2/3 of the population if we go into another ice age?

BTW - go look for the REAL 2015 satellite pics.

I'm not going to argue this any further in this forum. As I said - 7 years. Just 7 years and you won't be hinting about me being a conspiracy nutcase. I'm getting royally tired of hearing that from people on this forum whose ideas of earth sciences are what they saw on TV or know of the "official statement". I gave a link if anyone who wants to call names wants to hear enough of the other side to make a real decision that wasn't spoon fed. ICECAP.

Just because you can growl louder and can be aggressive about the subject -- doesn't mean you know squat about whats coming out of your mouth. You call me a conspiracy nut when I've got thousands of scientists on my side, despite them not being on TV...........and I'm gonna call you an undereducated drooling useful idiot. I'm that sick of that shyte -- so there it is buddy.

7 years.

Sorry everyone - but I put a lot of study into earth sciences. I know I'm not in the "official" school of thought - but in science there is usually more than one school of thought and that does not make me a "conspiracy theorist" and I'm getting real sick of people throwing that word around just to quiet the dissenters. It's the first clue they don't know what they're talking about. Can't do anything but repeat what was in the news. I tried to "agree to disagree - what it got me is an attack on my mental facilities -- something that never happens when I talk to actual experts in these fields, but is becoming regular fare in a forum where some of the most aggressive attacks don't come from people qualified to attack anyone on the subject.

I'm out of here. That was just too f***ing jive.[/QUOTE]

Yes Sal, it seems that l have to get some into a half nelson to have them say that l got the Tesla, circuit right!

And going off the deep end with personal attacks and bullying, (three against one) when someone makes a joke about this or voices an opinion.

This certainly puts Claude on a pedestal, at least he has enough strength of character to admit when he got something wrong!

Yes, bullying, if they all band together then they can drive away what is left of the intellectuals and all bask in the sunshine of self denial.

Years ago if this came up when there would be several for MMGW and just as many against it.

But now, there is hardly anyone that will go against the herd, which usually means 3 or 4 against one or two!

But we all know that the herd is 100% right, all of the time, LOL!

Yes Sal, this forum has reached bottom of the barrel levels, and whoever yells loudest wins, or that is what they like to think. But hard evidence always wins in the end, and no amount of verbal bullying or attacks will change that!
