Hasn’t looked like that at my house since the last ice age. Although my kids do a snow dance every winter. The snow gods usually pay them no mind though.
In winter we drive to the snow if we want it...We have a hideout about 2 hours away in the mountains at about 6700 foot elevation...no snow there now...Been pretty dry winter in the west this time. But given it’s latitude here in S.CA, it’s generally considerably warmer there in the winter than what the midwest and back east get.
The only thing hubby watches are the halftime commercials. And not every year. Just if we happen to think about it and aren’t watching or doing something else.
Last year he was building a chicken pen that afternoon.
Ain't happenin'....80 today with low to mid 80's all week.
I like your comment, and I agree that there was a canopy of some sort covering the earth. I have thought that it was an ice canopy. We know from the content of bubbles in ancient amber that the Oxygen content of the atmosphere was much higher, nearly double what it is today. We also know that for created man to live for ever (as was the case before the ‘fall’) that air pressure needed to be much higher...say double. These conditions, with the resultant higher pressure and oxygen content lead to rapid wound healing and healthy bodies. Think hyperbaric chamber.
So, now back to the Flood...no rain until then...the earth and plants were watered by dew and what came up from the ground. My thoughts are that God caused the ice canopy to be broken, perhaps by a fly-by (close encounter with an asteroid, for instance). The broken ice canopy, falling into the atmosphere, thawed, and produced the rain.
The ice canopy would have made the earth a planet sized greenhouse, with a resultant temperate climate over the surface of the earth.
My thoughts are somewhat analagous to yours in your post. I would think either could be close to what happened.
Stinker.
ESPN yesterday said it was 39 for SB6 and stands as the coldest.
Imagine that the Arctic ocean ice melts. We would then have a massive source of water vapor that could fall as snow on the Eastern Arctic Archipelago and N.E. North America (mainly the Arctic Cordillera). Keep that up for a few years and you have continental ice sheets.
I can see it now:
“Superbowl Proves Global Warming. Super Bowl VI was 39 degrees, XIV was 67, and XXXVII was 81.”
Super Bowl VII was 84.
:) They wanted “regulation” they got it! Hope they saved their money. “na!”
Naw. Too many butterfly effects to take into consideration. It’s one of the problems with the models. They are based on woefully incomplete data and it’s impacts.
I went to SB XXXIV in Atlanta.
INSIDE it was great.
But OUTSIDE it was freezing. They were worried that people would not make it to the stadium — a lot of STEEP hills all iced over.
The bus that took us from the hotel to the venue was skidding unmercifully and only great driving kept us from being a great story about 70 people killed on the 2 block drive.
You could not walk at all even with snow boots because it was all ice. In the morning the ice that formed all night warmed up just enough to become deadly icicles that crashed through the atrium restaurant skkylight.
Great game though. I was about the 30 Yard Line 2nd section up with gave mne a perfect view of Isaac Bruce’s TD. But that was the other side of the stadium for the last almost longest yard — thank God they had monitors everywhere so we could see it and the replay.
No global warming to study = $0 in Taxpayer-funded research grant money and UN IPCC cash
Do you expect them to take a job as an adjunct professor in a chemistry class at Baruch college for $4000?
