Global warming is not a myth. Neither is global cooling. They both happen. However, what causes them is what is unknown.

I wonder if there even is a word for “snow man” in Cajun French?

The sun is breaking and its more raining now but it was snowing since about 3 this morning. It is standing snow. Have a snowball in the freezer right now.
People in this town just can’t drive…thats the biggest worry.
We just got dumped on over the past few days, close to a foot of snow and people still drive like they have never seen snow in their lives. [/quote]
Almost been killed a few times from it too, you?
I’ve never gotten in a near accident with another teenager. Just middle to elderly women and middle aged asian men. And many times for both groups. Cell phones, ignoring stop signs, and going as soon as they hit a 4 way intersection even though they are fourht in line to go is usually the cause.
Always in minivans too. I pretty much have spotting dangerous drivers down to a science.
It snowed in Louisiana and it was 60 degrees in RI yesterday? WTF

Welcome to my world. Usually.
I was in New Orleans when it snowed for the first time in 100 years. This was a little bit before Katrina. The drive back to KC was terrible…all the morons in Memphis didn’t know how to drive with ice/snow so there were semis and cars all over the place.
An old Boudreaux joke but some what relevent to this thread:
Boudreaux died and went to Hell. He looked around awhile, then went right to work shoveling brimstone. The devil came up to him and said, “How you like it here, my friend? It’s hard work and it’s hot, yeah?”
Boudreaux just smiled and answered, “It not so bad. The work is steady. I got no problem with steady work. And it ain’t so hot. You think this is hot? Man, I’m from south Lousiana — It hot there, my fren! This ain’t nothing.” He just laughed and went back to work singing and having a high old time.
Satan did not like Cajuns. He said to himself, “I’ll get him. So he don’t mind the hot, huh?” Satan waved a hand and the whole place was suddenly ice and snow, solid. And he said, “That’ll fix dat fool!”
When he went back to check on Boudreaux, he found him jumping up and yelling and laughing and clapping and dancing. So Satan said, “Man, what’s wrong with you?!”
Boudreaux smiled big and replied, "The Saints done won the Super Bowl!
HA

Yeah, it briefly snowed mixed with the sleet a couple nights here (Dallas). I was really excited. It didn’t last long but there was ice on my truck the next morning, which was cool.[/quote]
Gotta love that global warming.
Most people don’t realize that the earth is usually a damn cold place. Global warming will actually ameliorate that.

Well I hope not, I have a whole wardrobe of sweaters I want to put into action and can’t yet. Global warming is killing my style.

Why are you all down there? Losers. Come up north where there are no powerlifting competitions. It’s fucking awesome.
A couple of pics from about 10 miles west of downtown New Orleans
Down by the Huey P Long Bridge (which we’re renovating)
Amazingly enough, Tuesday I was walking in to Office Max and though to myself how much the weather was reminding me of living in Hawaii.
I’m sorry everyone who didn’t want snow, its my fault. I emailed a friend in Seattle yesterday and told him I like it in NO because the weather is so much warmer than the NW.
