As soon as your humble correspondent flipped on the TV set this New Year morning, he heard an MSNBC report about record levels of snowfall that just hit the Pacific Northwest. Checking around the web, it turns out that other parts of the country were also hit with record levels of snowfall. Here are a few of the reports starting with this one in the Green Bay Press Gazette (emphasis mine):
Green Bay ended the month with 45.6 inches of snowfall, the most of any December on record.
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
It buried the previous record of 36.4 inches, set in December 1887, but fell 2.6 inches short of matching the snowiest month of all time for Green Bay. That record goes to March 1888, with 48.2 inches, which helped the winter of 1887-88 become the snowiest winter in Green Bay history at 147.7 inches total.
And in the more liberal part of Wisconsin, Madison, the snowfall records are already tumbling as reported in the Wisonsin State Journal:
With about three months to go in the winter of 2008-09, Madison could end up with the average total amount of snow for a season already before the calendar is flipped to the new year.
With 42.9 inches already in November and December, the 1-3 inches expected on Tuesday could push the snowfall total up to the average 45 inches that normally falls in any given winter in these parts, with the brunt of winter still to come.
The record snowfall in December is now at 38.6 inches, breaking the previous December mark of 35 inches set in 2000 as well as the previous monthly mark of 37 inches that fell in February 1994.
I loved the movie Fargo and in that North Dakota city snowfall records also fell as you can see in this report:
Fargo’s December snowfall total as of 6 a.m. was 30.5 inches, which broke the previous record of 29.2 inches set in December 1927, according to the weather service.
Grand Forks also set a record with 30.1 inches of snowfall this December, compared to the previous record of 27.6 inches set back in 1918.
It will be interesting to see what the Global Warming Alarmists of the Boston Globe will make of this story which just appeared in their own newspaper yesterday:
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane residents were trying to dig out yesterday after a record-breaking month of snow collapsed roofs and clogged streets. Bismarck, N.D., also set a snowfall record.
And how was the weather at midnight as the New Year was marked by the famous ball drop in Times Square? The New York Post describes the scene:
In a fitting end to a miserable year that saw an economic meltdown, Wall Street's collapse and massive job losses, bitter cold descended on New York to usher out 2008...
...Hundreds of thousands of bundled-up celebrants descended on the Crossroads of the World - huddled in blankets and shielded under umbrellas.
Driving snow pounded many of the early-bird revelers throughout yesterday, and by midnight, the mercury had plummeted to 18 degrees. Howling wind gusts of up to 40 mph made it feel below zero at times.
So the New Year has been heralded in by record snowfall and bitterly cold temperatures but will the Global Warming Alarmists in the media notice? And will some enterprising reporter out there ask Al Gore how he can reconcile his Global Warming predictions with the incredibly cold weather we've been having recently including snowstorms in Las Vegas and snowfall in New Orleans?

Warning, we are in a Gore Zone
January 1, 2009 - 12:44 ET by legacyrepublicanI had to laugh when I learned that the Gore Zone is that area of an exit off the highway in between the converging solid white lines.
It is an area in theory, no one is to cross. An artificial "no go" zone.
Sound familiar?
Anyway, I think Rush is right. God's humor could have us have the coldest seven years on record for our arrogance for believing we are causing the world's climate to dramatically change.
lr, yea Rush is right..
January 1, 2009 - 13:19 ET by upcountrywaterMy pet theory: Millions of school aged kids are TERRIFIED by the 'teachers' about AGW... Some of then have Prayed to God to change things, still the teachers preach agw, and Prayers continue... yes it's getting COLDER AND COLDER...
When is the breaking point, the point of ADMITTING we the agw teachers are WRONG?

January 1, 2009 - 13:37 ET by GregEIf it hasn't reached the point yet (I believe it may have, or it's very very close to being so), it is VERY possible and highly likely that there will never be any change in the theories of global warming by the alarmists. I actually believe we've crossed the line now, where whatever happens in the opposite direction (aka cooling) will never be given any credence by the GW alarmists. We would have to have cooling that lasted several years, and because of that requirement, there would also have to be extensive world famine due to the cooling being great enough to cause agricultural chaos. I don't know if we would ever see that level of cooling, and I wouldn't want to see it anyway. So if my theory is correct and the level of cooling required is beyond palatable, then global warming and it's "followers" (it's a religion) is likely here to stay for as long as I am, which is at least 125 more years. (hehe)
Yep, same M/O
January 1, 2009 - 13:47 ET by legacyrepublicanUpcountrywater,
Yes. You called it! It is the same M/O, just AGW this time, that TEACHERS love to use.
I can remember twenty years ago ( oh my, where did the time go ), during the first year of the Bush 41 administration, talking to one of my youth group members at church who was tearful, upset, and deeply troubled over something.
It turned out that this thirteen year old girl was afraid that at any moment nuclear bombs could destroy the world and her future.
Why did she have this irrational fear dominating her life?
Guess what, her teachers ( central coast CA ) that day were indoctrinating her to believe that unless Dems were in control, Republicans were hell bent to destroy all life as we know it and that Reagan/Bush were sending us into certain war with ??? at any moment.
A glacier could slice this country in half.
January 1, 2009 - 12:45 ET by superconAnd some glo-warm would try to tell you it's because global warming made it break free from the arctic ice packs.Global warming is a religion to them and Al Gore is the Pope.Now matter how cold or snowy it get somewhere there will always be some "expert" trying to tell you it's because of climate change.
Once a liberal adopts an idea they will never give it up no matter how spectacularly it may fail.It's only a matter of time before they blame the cold temps on man as well.They will tell us it's because pollution won't allow the warming rays of the sun to penetrate the atmosphere.
You can't win with them.

Liberals do give these things up
January 1, 2009 - 14:29 ET by ahusserBut only if the fashion/fad changes (Ozone layer, Amazon rain forest, acid rain, global cooling ad nauseum). The true agenda of the architects of AGW is the destruction of democracy and the institution of socialism or worse through the back door. Taxation and regulation is the 'Progressive' way of controlling and punishing the masses. (See today's blog concerning Hansen). The folks who believe they are saving the planet are just deluded followers of the 'brains' behind this movement.

Algore
January 1, 2009 - 12:50 ET by iveseenitallIn 2008 charlatans everywhere were outed or came out of the closet themselves. But I still have to rank Algore at or near the top of the list. This mountebank has already stolen millions and is on the brink of turning the country inside out, based on nothing but his own dishonesty and ignorance. Another crook, Chicago thug Barry O. has already held a news conference at his side.The world is being raped by these despicable bastards who use people's good will for their own selfish ends. Ignorance is bliss and unless we are shaken from our apathy, our ignorance will cost us more than even the Democratic tax hikes (which are on the way).

January 1, 2009 - 13:25 ET by GregEAl Gore will just point to this. (as of its Dec 16 printing)
http://www.noaanews....
"...The year 2008 is on track to be one of the 10 warmest years on record
for the globe, based on the combined average of worldwide land and
ocean surface temperatures..."
2008 was one of the ten warmest in all RECORDED years (meaning via scientific methods, not just going outside and feeling the breeze and sun on ones face in Babylonian times), which any scientist would say is .000033% of all ACTUAL years of Earth's existence. Let's put recorded years in perspective - the grandparents (or perhaps great grandparents) of those who fought in WWII were of the generation where recorded years began. Are we so arrogant as humans to believe that it's only those years which we've scientifically recorded that are relevant? Are many of the arrogant humans willing to alter entire economies and human freedoms based solely on the very few years that the science gods have to show us in record? Apparently...........yes. Yet the same ones who point to 150 years as "proof" also say the earth is 4.5 billion years old. I went to public school, but even in spite of that, I learned enough math to understand when up against 4.5 billion, that little number of 150 is rather insignificant.
And of course any good global warming follower will ALWAYS make sure to say "well one single year means nothing" even if the entire globe were to be frozen crystals for that entire one year. But oddly, when summer is upon us and it's hot (duh), they don't say the same and actually use it, arrogantly, as an example of global warming.
It won't take summer's
January 1, 2009 - 14:01 ET by ThisnThatIt won't take summer's warmth to start the alarms. Given the propensity of liberals to shorten historical measurements, it will take just one warm spring day to establish "proof"; and none of this winter's record snow and cold will ever be mentioned again. Poof! Gone in an instant, with temperature records beginning anew on that warm spring day.

January 1, 2009 - 15:15 ET by GregEI remember it was the first day of hurricane season, June 1, 2006. Hurricane Alberto was churning. (it ended up doing very little) Harry Reid said publicly (and I've searched the net for 30 minutes trying to find it........."this is just more proof of global warming"
He was speaking of ONE storm, and that was enough for him to publicly cry "PROOF." And to a liberal whacko like himself, that kind of nonsense is acceptable.
If someone can find that quote, please post the link.

January 1, 2009 - 20:44 ET by GregEThanks, I actually did run across all of those links. Thanks for the post though.
And let us not forget, barely a month after the surge was announced, Harold Reid steps to the podium and utters the words "the surge has failed."
How many troops were killed due to all the crap constantly on the airwaves by some of the biggest idiots to ever walk the halls of the Senate and House? They kept enemy moral up just one more day, one more day, one more day, over and over, crapping on our every effort, making things up where needed, accusing our troops of things they did not do, one more day, one more day, one more day.........and troops died during each "one more day" that went by, and those who did not, won the Iraq war and were successful IN SPITE of our Senators and Congressman who wanted more than anything for America to lose. All in an effort to "get Bush" they GOT soldiers killed. And they get reelected. What a bunch of idiots.

January 1, 2009 - 13:22 ET by ThalpyThe Church of England didn't need further evidence to prove that it's hopelessly lost, but it has received some nonetheless. Continued disconfirmation of the Global Warming pipe dream orthodoxy must be disconcerting to the Church of England's Church Commissioners who have just recently invested 150 million pounds with Al Gore's Generation Investment Management. The Church seems to be receiving incoming fire from all directions and that it's self-inflicted provides no comfort. It's heartbreaking.
