Watts Up With That?

Sunday, Dec 27th, 2009

And that’s not all, for the week ending Dec 13th, there were 815 new snowfall records set. December 2009 is shaping up to be quite the snowmaker. Here’s a map showing continental USA records:

Note that we saw the majority of records from the most recent snowstorm in places that are fairly far south of the major USA snow belt.

More of the old "Al Gore Effect" I guess.

I did not get a flake (yet).

C'mon, don't you know that global warming causes global cooling? If we get a warmer winter, it's because of global warming. If we get a colder winter, it's because of global warming.

And remember, even though increases in CO2 FOLLOW increases in temperature in the climate record, CO2 still is the cause of global warming. The "consensus" says so, the facts be damned.
