We are getting hit here in Kansas City. The metro area is pretty much shut down.

I just shoveled a few feet off the driveway, and helped my neighbor get his car up the hill. The chasis was high-centered in the snow. It will be a while before the trucks get all the streets plowed, it is coming down too fast and the wind is blowing it everywhere. I shoveled the driveway wearing my 1km on steel bracelet. Now I am drinking down a Fat Tire.

We have nearly 3 inches of frozen sleet here in Dallas that has turned into a solid sheet of ice. Temps are heading south tonight so any melt will just re freeze. The Super Bowl parties will just have to wait another couple of days!

Check out the snow cover across the whole country, amazing. white is deeper, blue is less.

snowed overnight here and was raining most of the day and now it is ice pellets bombarding us with ice forming everywhere...I'd say a half inch of ice is covering everything including the roads right now...electrical outages are being reported due the weight of the ice on power lines.mistake.gif

According to algore, Global Warming is to blame for the blizzards:

http://blog.algore.com/

and we all know he couldn't be wrong because he invented the Internet!!!


From Al's blog:


"An Answer for Bill February 1, 2011 : 11:43 AM Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?” and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question.

As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of
man-made global warming:

“In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow.”
“A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species.”

when it is cold, global warming... buy my movie and you will understand.
when it rains too much, global warming... buy my book and see.
when there is drought, global warming.... it is in my movie.

Hoping all you guys stateside are ok. Have been reading about it and checking CNN. John's right....it's only halfway thus far. It's also bad for our friends Down Under.
