PUEBLA, Mexico - A cold front moved over most of Mexico Wednesday, leaving coastal cities chilly and windy, and dusting mountaintop towns with snow.

In the central state of Puebla, temperatures dropped to a low of 23 degrees, and more than 100 shelters were opened for residents who live in frigid shacks.

Winter snow is not uncommon at high altitudes in Mexico, including atop the Popocatepetl Volcano outside the capital. But this week's frost dusted buildings in towns that normally don't see such cold weather.

In Mexico City, residents accustomed to 80-degree afternoon temperatures bundled up in winter coats as the mercury dropped to 40 degrees.

Global Warming, of course.

I hope Al Gore tells these humble Mexicans, they must be having delusions.
Or are "on the payroll of Global Warming Deniers funded by Big Oil".

One story, or even a thousand such stories, or even a hundred thousand such stories, is hardly a trend, but I’ve long said that if there is a change going on, it’s towards a cooling trend.

Iceage? Who can tell, but I say we are going in that direction, not global warming

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Better start getting the cows to emit more methane - it’s getting downright chilly!

[mylife]

Unusual in Veracrauz, but not unusual for Mexico

Mexicans bundle up as temperatures drop

They ain't the only ones!!!!!

[capt. norm]

The entire "Global Warming" thing is starting to look like a comedy produced by Mel Brooks.

"We're doomed!"

[mylife]

Damn frigid tonight aint it?

[mylife]

Sposed to be a 16 degree wind chill tonight

[grey_whiskers]

And a frost warning for Florida.

(Here in Minneapolis, it was 7 below this morning, but not a word on the local newscasts about "global warming". That'll change when we hit 40 this weekend, though.)

Cheers!

[SouthTexas]

Sure is! Not our typical start to the New Year.

[SouthTexas]

We're supposed to be 26-28 actual temp for eight hours.

That's UGLY!

[Vigilanteman]

Time to trot out the new ice age mantra of the early 1970’s. We are destroying the planet and we’ll all freeze to death unless we put the Marxist elite in charge.

I was working in my yard yesterday in a short sleave shirt when it warmed up to 40 degrees.

The new Ice Age is coming!

[mylife]

L0L! had the winders open last week.

The jet steam dipped, musta been cuz I wasnt drivin all about on the Dodge Ram. Then a gain, it could just be winter.

[mylife]

28 here now

[mylife]

Good hot tub weather though

[mylife]

It was colder then.

[SouthTexas]

I went out yesterday to crank up the old p/u and I waited one day too long. She said “no thank you”. LOL

[rbg81]

I have noted that they are using the term “Climate Change” more frequently now, instead of “Global Warming”. The former is much more generic and can cover just about anything that is out of the norm.

[Clintonfatigued]

There are Mexicans in Mexico, too? I didn’t know.

[stbdside]

It’s 12 degrees F of global warming here.

[SouthTexas]

I don't think it's even "bathing" weather. Time to get out the bear fat!

Had to go out earlier and I'm not going out now to see what it is!

At least it's not wet....yet.

[mylife]

She’ll start next week

[Allegra]

Iceage? Who can tell, but I say we are going in that direction, not global warming

Hey! that gives me an idea. Let's write books, make up fake scientific data, produce documentaries, hold seminars and get everyone all freaked out about an ice age.

That'll keep the sheeple nice and confused. ;-)

[SouthTexas]

She will after I charge her up. We don't drive it enough to keep it charged up. The combination of that and the cold and all I got was click-click-click.
Which is a little better than ...click.....LOL

[mylife]

I’m a damn yankee. 104 in the tub dont wear off between the tub and the house, even at 10 deg

[mylife]

Yessir

[Fledermaus]

Grrrr...don’t remind me. It was 18 degrees here and I went out to the hot tub and it wasn’t working!

Now I have to call the apartment people and whine tomorrow! lol

[NormsRevenge]

snow flurries in the forecast at Daytona too..

we’re waiting for the big winds here and rain, lots of it..

[Fledermaus]

I fully believe in “Climate Change”...seems to happen four times a year.

[mylife]

I likes the hot tub when its chilly ass cold! Sit out there in tha snow and watcha football game with a snow cap and shorts and a buncha drinks.

I guess its a yankee thing

[SouthTexas]

If it drops to 10 degrees, the Mexicans will have some company.

(The ones left down south.)

[SouthTexas]

It better get it out of it's system! Ma ain't gonna like that one bit, not that it thrills me either.

We were in the mid 70s New Year's Eve.

[mylife]

I like the change of season, but it is awefull chilly tonight.
27 now. Fireplace lit, send a chaquita L0L

[SouthTexas]

I’m not a fan of cold at all and any time it goes below 70, it’s cold.

[Fledermaus]

Love it down here in the South too! I was being serious...I was ticked it wasn’t working.

But it’ll be nice and cold again tomorrow night.

[Jeff Chandler]

Mexico City forecast: Chili today. Hot tamale.

[mylife]

We differ there.

It goes over 80...its to hot L0L

But Damn! its cold out today! even I was shivering! I think its the wind.

In the summer when we could use a breeze there aint none.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Global warming, indeed.

[SouthTexas]

We have the heat on and I have one quilt and two afgans on the bed. Considering adding another. :)

Have a good evenin' and stay warm!

[mylife]

Ive been known to sit in a hot tub in a snow storm or sit round a fire, been known to jump in a snow bank and run back to one.

I like the contrast.

I’m sure them Mexicans will survive ;0)

[mylife]

Yup Yup..

Rest well

[freekitty]

LOL

The irony is Gore is on the Big Oil Payroll.
