Global Warming Update: Ann Arbor Has Snowiest Year on Record

Photo of Noel Sheppard.

This certainly hasn't been the winter climate alarmists wanted to prove that global warming is destined to destroy the planet if we don't immediately cease and desist emitting that awful carbon dioxide into the air.

After all, not only has the cooling trend continued, but despite warnings that America was going to have so little snow that ski resorts across the fruited plain would all go bankrupt, the winter of 2008 produced record amounts of the white stuff in many parts of the country.

As reported by MLive.com, you can count Ann Arbor, Michigan, amongst the heavily snowed upon (emphasis added):

It's just as you suspected - this has been the snowiest winter ever in the Ann Arbor area, or at least since 1880 when record-keeping started.

And it's not over yet.
Didn't this part of the country get the message from Nobel Laureate Al Gore?

Klaatu

Maybe when Klaatu returns to earth, he will warn us about global cooling.

PJ

PJ,

Well, depending on how far away Klaatu lives, it's quite likely that by the time he gets here, we'll be in another mini Ice Age.

Of course, the alarmists will blame that on too much CO2 anyway, right? :-) ns

Klaatu

Klaatu brrrrada nicto.

Ha!

Funny!

I also have a few pictures

I also have a few pictures from my Home town were my brother is showing the snow from the inside of his house, he as the door screen off and his shoveling the snow inside the house so he can dig out..(Bet the wife was impress) the next picture is from outside looking in and it is a Tunnel with the snow higher then the door.

His Carport is not visible just one big snow bank.

Last year I was pruning my trees on the 29 march.. Not going to happen this year! Got at least another month before I can do the pruning.

Not to make the rest of you

Not to make the rest of you mad...but, it's going to be 88 today here in L.A. No wonder it's so crowded here. ;0)

Florida too!

Great here in Florida too! Forty years ago a colleague of mine, a scientist, was preaching how, within ten years, Florida would be an ecological disaster. He had "irrefutable proof!". Oh, did I mention--he is a "liberal".

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Should that be reversed???

"No wonder it's so crowded."

No wonder it's so warm, there are too many people here??? Only Al Gore can explain it!!!!

Not Mad

Nah, that doesn't make us Texans mad. We just think about your tax-added gas prices!  ;)   What's it up to now, ten bucks a gallon there?

Close! Actually it's about

Close! Actually it's about 4.40 at the Chevron around the corner. I live in the L.A. suburbs but up in Malibu, they're paying close to $6. 'Course I guess those folks can afford it.

i have never heard xm radio do so many ski & snow reports

every other day there are reporting more or record breaking snowfall from the east to the west coast.

how bad are these glob warms going to melt down when they loose their key boogey man to scare everyone into socialism.

You guys can smack me for

You guys can smack me for repetition, but I have to say it again:

The synopsis for the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" is:

"Global warming triggers a new ice age." (emphasis added)

Hot, cold, floods, drought....yup, global warming.

Forgot

You forgot "mild, normal" - also caused by global warming.

Heck, I'll bet even Day,

Heck, I'll bet even Day, Night will be added to their list before it's all over.

Let's not get too excited

Let's not get too excited over the cooling (Which btw we've been steadily cooling since 1996- just as we have in all the other Naturally occuring cyclical cooling/warming cycles that the earth goes through all on it's own). Man-Caused global warming nutcases are claiming that the reason we got cooler was because Carbon 'messed up' the atmospheric patterns. No matter what happens in the weather, evil man is going to get blamed for it- Warm cold- doesn't matter- according to hte man-caused global warming nut-balls, we're to blame (P.S- the cooling that we've seens for a decade now 'mysteriously' coincides with Solar flare reductions- just as it always has for 1000's of years)

And to let folks know-

And to let folks know- scientists have been studying the oceanic temps at very deep levels, and the seas have been cooling, not warming as the global warming nuts predicted. Bet here again, they GW headcases are doing an about face and now claiming this is 'normal' reaction in the seas to carbon caused atmosphere changes.

 

Oh, and a weatherman (or maybe it is the owner of the weather channel- can't remember now) is suing Al Gore for peddling false information causing finacial loss to millions- hopefully he'll win his suit.

Motherbelt

Yep. The GW crowd began changing the verbage of their rant slowly when all their evidence began to get buried in snow; so that anything that happens now weatherwise can be directly attributed to GW. If it started raining Snickers outside right now they would insist that it is due to "climate change". That is their new term for GW. Clever huh? "Climate change" is go damned generic it covers everything and anything and no one can disagree.

"Low snowpack"

Here in Oregon, where the Coast and Cascade ranges were over 100% of normal in December, the governor is pushing an emergency spending plan to protect groundwater tables which are "threatened by low snowpack levels".

This is the same moron who fired George Taylor because George doesn't buy into AGW.

 

Why don't the voters fire

Why don't the voters fire this moron?

Someday they'll do a

Someday they'll do a documentary on all this and expose the real truth...

They'll show Evil Al in his secret jungle laboratory beaming his evil weather ray at the moon, which is then reflected back to earth. The evil weather ray causes global warming, and Evil Al makes a fortune selling carbon credits.

But watch out. Evil Al could just as easily use his evil weather ray to cause global cooling. If you notice him starting to sell goose down credits you'll know fer sure that we're in for a severe ice age.

And then, of course, he's using his evil weather ray to cause Obama to make impassioned speeches. All those weeping liberals are starting to cause global flooding. We'll know fer sure when Evil Al starts selling lifejacket credits.

Global Laming

You see, all of this global warming coming down out of the north is mixing with all of this moisture coming up out of the gulf and giving us what we call SNOW.

Gotta watch, of all things, South Park, people ...

For a good laugh on the varying insanities of global warming watch these episodes (starting with "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow") :

The evidence of Global Cooling keeps coming in...

2007, Coolest Winter Since 2001 For U.S., Globe, According To NOAA Data (Science Daily)

"The average temperature across both the contiguous U.S. and the globe during climatological winter (December 2007-February 2008) was the coolest since 2001, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. In terms of winter precipitation, Pacific storms, bringing heavy precipitation to large parts of the West, produced high snowpack that will provide welcome runoff this spring. [...]

During January alone, 170 inches of snow fell at the Alta ski area near Salt Lake City, Utah, more than twice the normal amount for the month, eclipsing the previous record of 168 inches that fell in 1967. At the end of February, seasonal precipitation for the 2008 Water Year, which began on October 1, 2007, was well above average over much of the West.

Mountain snowpack exceeded 150 percent of average in large parts of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oregon at the end of February. Spring run-off from the above average snowpack in the West is expected to be beneficial in drought plagued areas.

Record February precipitation in the Northeast helped make the winter the fifth wettest on record for the region. New York had its wettest winter, while Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, and Colorado to the West, had their second wettest.

Snowfall was above normal in northern New England, where some locations posted all-time record winter snow totals. Concord, N.H., received 100.1 inches, which was 22.1 inches above the previous record set during the winter of 1886-87. Burlington, Vt., received 103.2 inches, which was 6.3 inches above the previous record set during the winter of 1970-71."

My globe in my apartment is warming!

Never mind...I had the heater up too high. It's strangely coincedental that the Ides of March came in with a torrent of brand spankin' new AGW stories.

Someone forgot to tell Frosty the snowman. He's still doin' "the bump" in Michigan.
