A major and historic winter storm is underway at this Wednesday morning in Argentina. Snow is falling in many parts of the country and in many areas not used to winter precipitation.

In Bahia Blanca, a coastal city in the Southern part of the Buenos Aires, the snow storm is heavy and local authorities describe it as the worst snow event in 50 years. Roads are already blocked by snow and ice in the regional. TN news channel reports some areas of the Sierra de La Ventana could pick up even 3 feet of snow, unimaginable to the region.

Global warming causing more problems.

Don’t tell Gov Sanford.

[pissant]

It’s winter in Argentina

[chippewaman]

Alert! Alert! Global warming Alert!

Algore....paging Algore......

[Slapshot68]

No no no. Unusual cold or winter weather is caused by man-made climate change now!

Oh, also earthquakes and sinkholes are also caused by climate change. Just take their word for it.

/s off

If Algore were home in Tennessee, he would notice that for the last week temperatures are 15 degrees below average.

Global hoochie coochie

I was REALLY confused for a minute, then my brain kicked in and reminded me it’s winter in the southern hemisphere.

[Izzy Dunne]

While it's snowing down there, we're up here roasting in.... uhh... this .... uhhhh ... 67-degree heat.

Gee, a winter storm in winter.. what a shock.

"In July 9th and 10th 2007 it snowed in the city of Buenos Aires for the first time in 89 years and it could snow again just two years later."

They must have already cut their CO2 levels back those of the 1920s.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Global warming. Didn’t “The Day After Tomorrow” start like this (although in the Northern Hemisphere)?

WS = Winter Storm

"Don’t tell Gov Sanford."

I think he took that other woman and her kids on a vacation to Europe.

I heard that July weather hasn’t been so cold in his home county since 1870something, 1876 or so.

[driftless2]

Record snow in La Sierra de la Ventana? Somebody better close the window.

[Verginius Rufus]

Fox News had an item a day or two ago about Nashville having the lowest temperature for the date since 1877. I’ve also heard that three days running Nashville either tied or broke the record low for the date.

I hunted waterfowl several times near Bahia Blanca in July. It was cool and rainy, kinda like Louisiana in December. I’ll bet there’s not a single snowplow in Buenos Aires province.

I notice the History Channel, which has been leaning left the last few years, recently(last few days)the episode "10,000 BC" or some similar title.

They explain the reason that there was a resurgent ice age about 13,000 years ago was because the warming period melted the glaciers and cool water flowed into the ocean causing the return of the ice age, briefly of course. This is global warming BS and I am sure we will hear that the cool weather(when they finally acknowledge it)we have had over the last 10 years is due to arctic ice melting.

Can't let people actually believe the sun causes the temp on planet earth.

about that Global Warming thing All Bore.
