(26,877 posts)1. we've had the mildest winter on record in central NY
We usually have over 100 inches of snow by now and we've only gotten less than 35.

The average snow amount is 42". Last year, we got 88.1".
This year, we got 9.1". The snow we've gotten has melted away completely within 72 hours. Incredible.

[font face=Times, Times New Roman, Serif][font size=5]Conservatives mock Al Gore on snowstorms[/font]

[font size=3]With the nations capital buried in several feet of snow and the federal government brought to a halt by Mother Nature, conservatives are mocking former Vice President Al Gore and his crusade to curb global climate change.
The vocal doubters of global warming frequently use any unseasonal snowfall or cold spell to mock Gore, despite the fact that climate scientists study long-term trends and give little weight to one-time occurrences or random meteorological events.
But the historic snowfall in Washington coinciding with a push from Democrats to enact legislation capping carbon emissions has left conservatives crowing that fears of environmental catastrophe make no sense.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) jabbed at Gore on Twitter Tuesday, writing that its going to keep snowing in D.C. until Al Gore cries uncle.
