It's very funny how in Chicago ( I don't live in the city proper but if i were to say Round Lake Baech IL would anybody other then people whow live know I am talking about) we just got hit with 12 inches of global warming 6 days ago and we are getting 4 more right now, with 3 more coming on Thursday or Friday.   

I don't try to preach but when AGW is brought up in a discussion and I try to add to it by putting out info, as in how did the earth get out of the other ices ages with man putting CO2 in the air, and that the ice caps of mars are melting, and the answer i get is " well yea but we are speeding up the process"  

why are people so hell bent on this guilt, and the hippies of the 60's fighting "the man".....have now become "the man" but of leftist views.

Here in sunny south central Texas, we don't get snow, we just get occasional nights below 32 where we have to cover the more fragile of our outside plants. In previous years, I might have to do that 3 or so nights during the winter. This year, I must have been out 30 times, at least.

Global warming, yeah, right.

I posted and exclusive to Newsbusters in my work on solar, weather and climate which stated that the sun in it's bandwidth specific warming was creating more vapor to be drawn into storm systems so they would drop more moisture on the United States and other areas.

Wisconsin is proof of that agtG.

I also am a firm believer in God moving storms and systems protecting regions and a very fascinating pattern has emerged again this year in storms tracking out of Trinidad Colorado and sweeping through Kansas, into Iowa, Wisconsin and then heading into the Ohio.
Right now another storm surge is about to sweep from Montana to North Dakota to the east.............leaving a region of the Dakotas and Nebraska which has been more or less immune from these storms which is unheard of.
Most Trinidad and Alberta Clipper systems pound South Dakota and Nebraska like a hurricane. In fact, these things are cyclones or land hurricanes. They will sweep up the plains and once hitting the area will with back slope winds from the northeast dump another foot of snow.........that has been absent.

The current atmospheric slosh as the earth moves to the northern summer months is slamming cold air over the region causing storms to take different patterns than traditionally. In my studies the prevailing winds we were all taught have disappeared too as they used to be only northwest and southwest. Now the northern plains are north, east, and south winds with only occassional westerlies or the clipper northwest storms.

The entire weather system has been changing in I have photographed those dark blue wind clouds only associated with summer storms, but now showing up in 10 degree to below zero weather when the sun is warming the atmosphere but not affecting the near earth temperatures as land etc... is void of fluids to absorb this type of heat.

Until the sun stops it's radiant factor increase the United States will continue to have more moisture, especially in the interior as the mountains will not deplete the excess as before.

There are other factors involved which I will not share as my findings are being looked at by people with fudd after their names, but that is why Wisconsin is having more snow.
The pattern should also continue this summer for those massive rain storms which have been dropping 12 inches of rain in spot flooding.

We have though not reached saturation point yet as I have records in Minnesota of somewhere in the mid 1800's around 30 inches of rain deluged and area in one hyper storm. So these sun radiant fluctuations do have historical basis in repeating.

Even with west nile, I still prefer the rain though to the snow which piles up..........and sort of would have liked global warming to have been true.

I spent most of the first 20 years of my life about 100 miles North of Madison. I graduated High School in '79 so I remember that winter very well. Spring break in Daytona Beach was the only cure for it.

Global warming? Washington state has had record snowfalls as well, and spent it's entire snow removal budget by the end of January. Snow so deep the ski hills couldn't open (not a problem in Wisconsin, no hills).

I can't understand why these people touting global warming don't turn red from embarrassment (or the cold) everytime they bring it up. True believers, I guess. And they have the audacity to criticize Christians for blind faith. Too bad they're looking into a lens and not a mirror.

I'm glad that you want to take a "step back" but doesn't that mean NOT rushing to spend billions of dollars to reduce CO2 (and double every one's heating bills) when we really do not know that man produced CO2 is driving global warming (or "climate change" - if you prefer the sneaky word play put forth by politicos who want a back door out of their position if warming comes to a grinding halt)?

Actually, Noel, I watched this whole news story on the Weather Channel on Monday night, and they were reporting that the record was about to be broken, with a reporter on site.  Note that it was not a major record-breaking winter in terms of cold, but rather precipitation in the form of snow.
