I have to say it because it's a huge elephant in the room....the Mid Atlantic

18. Interesting observation of family and old friends in Virginia and thereabouts on Facebook:

This year, they are all talking about how unusually nice it is outside, how their garden is blooming in freakin' January, how they love the clear roads and sleeping with the windows cracked. Not one WORD about this being an unusual climate-related phenomenon.

Contrast with the past year or two, when they had an equally unusual snow storm here and there: everyone was quick to say "Haha! Al Gore is an asshole" because this snow storm disproved all the climate change idiots.

It's amazing what the human brain can do to itself.
