A wintry double whammy has descended on the Northeast, bringing as much as a foot of snow and another blast of arctic air. The latest blow to a weather-beaten region has snarled airports and interstates, closed schools and shuttered much of the nation's capital. Initially f …

It’s a “winter” storm. Big deal.
if this is global warming, i would love to experience “Global Cooling”, would that be when the average temp in the USA is 50 below?
But global cooling causes global warming, doesn't it?
What about going "Pointed Sticks"?
When winter storms give you bananas, make a frozen banana split, I always say.

This is all a conspiracy to try to make the hockey stick graph look wrong.
What is this “winter” thing? Apparently it’s never happened before in the history of the world.

Annoying, yes, but not a big deal. Every few winters, the East gets on the cold side of the storm track. But the East is where there's a lot of population and media attention.

I moved my family from the north to the deep south to escape cold and snow, and it’s following me. High tomorrow will be 37 degrees.

And nowhere have I found a comparison to ANY previous winters. I survived a few bad ones while growing up.
And while we’re at it, I’d like to know why the government made it a law that a gas furnace has to have electricity to start it. I asked the same question of a very competent gas furnace repair man and he said after a bit of thought, “Good question. I have no idea.”
what will they do this time, first they were messin with water bottles and tossin water into the air, what next? seeing what happens when weirdo’s attempt to urinate in 20 below freezing weather?
No.. its the........POLAR VORTEX!!!!!!!!!
To those of who have lived for many years in the Northeast, its just an old fashioned winter - like in the 1940s and 1950s.
No, because they don’t want to get fired.
Shut up!
