Let it Snow...

[MaryMary]

On the Weather Channel, they were asking people to finish this sentence - "It's so cold that____________" and had people sending joke lines in to them and they were airing people's answers every now and then between updates.

The one that got me - "It's so cold that - the bars are closed in Wisconsin!!" The horror! I bartended for 10 years up in Columbus. One year we were under a Level 3 snow emergency, pretty much blizzard conditions - and people were walking to the bar to drink!! Laughing, "Well, I'm not allowed to go to work, what else is there to do?!!" A couple of them lived in the same neighborhood, and met up at the bar saying, "I wondered if it was your tracks I was walking in, thanks for breaking the trail!!"

For the bars to be closed, well, that's saying something!!

LEVEL 3: All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be driving during these conditions unless it is absolutely necessary to travel or a personal emergency exists. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report to work. Those traveling on the roads may subject themselves to arrest. https://www.weathersafety.ohio.gov/SnowEmergencyClassifications.aspx

"It's so cold that____________"

The lies that they have been telling about global warming must be true

Current atmospheric Carbon Dioxide 405 parts per million.

Do high levels of CO2 in the past contradict the warming effect of CO2?

<p>When CO2 levels were higher in the past, solar levels were also lower. The combined effect of sun and CO2 matches well with climate.</p>

Atmospheric CO2 has been far higher in the past yet we haven't had the runaway greenhouse effect that some folk think will be the end of the world...

The world has long been a cold place, dependent on how much output the sun has. Doesn't make a blind bit of difference how much CO2 is in the atmosphere, if there is too much then plants thrive on it...

We heard about the polar vortex

Hope everyone is taking care across the pond.

It only went down to 20f here, we got lucky. Our city of Birmingham came to a complete stop based on a forecast of snow Tuesday morning. Then it did not snow! Schools were closed, businesses shuttered. We freak out, truly.
But the snow memes have been great!

We too have a Birmingham, looks better covered in snow

A few tracks this morning..

It is snowing a lot here in the mid and upper part of the US with -50f and dangerous weather. People are taking it as best they can.

@Perki your pictures reminded me of how far one can see when there is no humidity. Here, even in winter, it is not the case unless some north breeze blows it away temporarily.

@Perki You're so lucky! Rolling landscape and your photos remind me of our trip. Lovely the panoramic views! So jealous of the location.
