Not So Rare Cold Weather

By Alan Caruba

It’s December, the season of the year in which we in the northern hemisphere are accustomed to hearing about cold weather. It is, after all, winter.

It is, however, also the end of the first decade of a cooling cycle that began in 1998. Every single piece of legislation the in-coming Obama administration bases on the need to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions” to “stop global warming” will be based on a lie.

What Americans, the British, Europeans and others in the northern climes will soon grow accustomed to are longer, harsher winters. At one point during the Little Ice Age from 1300 to 1850 there literally was no summer!

That’s why we keep seeing journalists report “rare” wintry events. Having wed themselves to the global warming hoax for so long, they cannot conceive that everything they reported was a lie and thus greet each new wintry event as “rare” or “unusual” when, in fact, climatologists and meteorologists keep telling them that a big chunk of the Earth is headed for the deep freeze.

In early December, Californians and others were informed that a “Rare 50 year Arctic Blast Sets Sights on Southern California.” Yes, rare in the past, but not so rare in the years ahead. With temperatures in Siberia plunging, the cold air has to go somewhere and Californians are going to experience the spillover.

That’s the thing about the weather; it just doesn’t care if Al Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change received a Nobel Peace Prize. I noticed at the time that no journalist asked what lying about global warming had to do with peace?

On December 10, Houston received a flurry of snow, tying the record for Houston’s earliest snowfall ever. There hadn’t been any snow in Houston since 2004 and it hadn’t snowed that early since December 10, 1944!

In the same region, New Orleans was blanketed with snow on December 11, the first time in nearly four years that snow had fallen, catching Metairie, Kenner and other suburbs off guard. It was soon replaced by freezing rain.

We are accustomed to looking toward various government agencies to announce their findings and this is particularly true of those charged with predicting the weather or analyzing its trends. It is useful to keep in mind that the best weather computer models can at best make a reasonably accurate prediction about five days out from today.

Short term weather trends, such as those tracked by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) often do not reflect the bigger picture of what is actually occurring.

While New Orleans and Houston were getting early snowfalls, NOAA was announcing that the November weather for the U.S. was “warmer than average”, albeit the January to November temperatures were “near average” for the U.S. According to NOAA, the U.S. is a virtual tropical paradise with an average temperature of 54.9 degrees F. Wait a minute, 54.9 degrees F is cold!

To its credit, NOAA announced that “an early November blizzard forced more than 100 businesses and schools, and Interstate 90, to close in western South Dakota on Nov 5 and 6.” And there were “mountain-enhanced snowfalls across the mountains of Virginia, North Carolina, and extreme northern Georgia.” Turns out that Banner Elk, N.C., recorded 6.2 inches of snow “making it the snowiest November since 1983.”

Here’s a tip when reading NOAA and other government news releases about the weather. Skip the headline and get into the heart of the text. While November was “warmer than average”, it was still cold and early snowfalls were occurring.

This is not rocket science, nor does it take a lot of brainpower to figure out that colder weather, blizzards and such, are becoming the “average” for the world’s northern hemisphere and there are increasing cold weather events affecting the southern hemisphere as well.

The global warming hoax was and is intended to wreck the economies of the U.S. and other developed, western nations. It’s proposed “carbon taxes” and “cap-and-trade” programs have NOTHING to do with the actual climate or weather.


If Americans do not PROTEST the Obama administration efforts to limit the ability of energy industries to acquire coal, natural gas, and nuclear power, we will all end up FREEZING IN THE DARK.

The GLOBAL WARMING HOAX AND CON GAME are falling apart as we speak. The scientists who supposedly said all kinds of things DIDN'T and were GROSSLY MISREPRESENTED. There are many thousands of other scientists who are also coming forward in mass to call global warming what it is: A MASSIVE HOAX AND CON GAME.

Average people are becoming informed now. The politicians will need to be careful about what they attempt to do in furthering this HOAX AND CON GAME or they will find themselves facing charges. Some of these politicians are being pushed by far-left supporters who might actually believe part of the global warming garbage. I actually question the motives for their global warming initiatives. For many, it furthers SOCIALISM and has nothing to do with the lies of global warming, so they have other AGENDAS. Regardless, average folks are becoming more educated on the issue AND WILL hold the politicians accountable. The bottom line is very simple:  only the RICH can afford to play the global warming lies, and it will make them much richer. The poor folks paying the bills won't put up with it because they are NOW learning about the CON GAME. Let's tell it like it is: the GLOBAL WARMING CON GAME has CRIMINAL CONSEQUENCES. It's one thing to talk about it and quite another to try and implement the criminal acts associated with global warming initiatives. It would involve CRIMINAL FRAUD at the very least and involve millions of victims. Average people will soon know that the so-called facts about global warming are nothing but lies for criminals to use.

POLITICIANS TRYING TO MAKE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PUBLIC VICTIMS OF FRAUD WOULD NOT BE VERY SMART! WHY? - THE PEOPLE ALSO OWN PRISONS!

Things really seem pretty clear to me.  All of this has to happen.  If we hypothesize that we are headed for another "Little Ice Age" doesn't that fall in line with the famine that will surely come?  Also the fact that the weather is turning colder now, proving that Global Warming is a hoax, adds to the chaos that must happen along with Obamanation thrown into the works.  We have to have absolute chaos in order for a one world government to look appealing to enough people to accept it.  But does this make sense to anyone else?  I think it does.  All of the corruptness in our government (too numerous to mention) including that the Supreme Court seemingly is absolutly unwilling to do anything about the Obama birth certificate factor, falls right in line of how how country is rotting from the inside out and will without a doubt fall and fall hard.  You can add scenerio upon scenerio about what will happen after that around the whole world, including the ramafications to Israel.

I mentioned the phrase, "The writing is on the wall" in another thread this morning, and it is there folks.  Let him who has ears to hear, hear.  All the rest of you better get your hearing checked!


Matthew 13:15
For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'

By the way...Global warming in Seattle this morning looks white and about 2 inches deep.  "Rare" for Seattle at this time of year....at least since I was kid.  Cycles, right?

Yep, cycles and yes it does make sense when looked at from a biblical perspective.

I remember back in 1967, snow in Los Angeles.

In Jan/Feb of 75 there was a snow storm that took 20 mins to close Snoqualmie Pass with over 5 ft of snow. I barely made it back to my apt in Redmond before the street getting to my apt was also closed. The Dec before that there were numerous incidents of snow and ice storms that kept me from getting up the hill from my apt complex. The following winter I was going outside in t-shirts it was so warm.

History records several times before the official weather records were started nationwide where Los Angeles and San Diego have had snow. The passes headed out of LA going north have been made impassible by snow storms.

Our Global Warming is now 4 to 6 inches deep and still coming down.  I have to tell you that Seattleites have no idea what to do with it and the last thing that would occur to them is to stay home.  I know that where some of you are, this is a miniscule amount and so you will laugh with me...
I was just out on my deck which over looks Hwy 99.  This is the old highway that was the only route (before my time) that went from Canada through Calif.  Parts of it are just road and parts of it are just gone.  The part that I can see from my deck is still a freeway.  Anyway.....I was just standing out there checking things out when I hear a loud speaker say, "EVERYONE TURN AROUND AND GO THE CORRECT WAY ON THE FREEWAY!!"  This was said twice, the second time with some disscust (sp?) and frustration.  I look out to the freeway and at least 10 cars (the ones I could count) were headed the wrong way, off to one side, trying to get off the freeway!  It really only took them ALL only about 5 minutes to get turned around but in that time I could see a "back up about a mile long!

So here's the question: If the density of stupidity is a quarter mile long heading in just one direction what is the total density of stupidity heading in both directions and what is the name of the conductor on the train that has no place what so ever in my story?   Grin Grin Grin

lol ... maybe the conductor lost his way also?

 Cheesy Cheesy

I've used portions of Hwy 99 many times before I-5 was complete. Much of I-5 was built right over top Hwy 99 in many places.

6 inches of snow is quite a bit for there. Even though we have received more than 6 inches before it is still sometimes enough to close things down here. Even then we still see a lot of that same stupidity. Drivers here either tend to think they can still drive as if the roads were dry or they go to a crawl when it isn't necessary.

We were supposed to get some rough winter weather here, but it didn't happen except for some wind and cold temperatures. They say that we might have another chance for snow and ice next week.

You're right about many people not having a clue about how to drive on snow and ice. It's almost like a demolition derby in some places that don't have snow and ice often. We rarely have any accumulation of snow and ice here, so it's a nightmare when we do. I remember times in winter storms of over 100 accidents an hour, and that's horrible for a city with less that 150,000 population. I can't imagine what it would be like in a big city not used to snow and ice. I remember trying to work out in those winter storms, and it was a pretty good trick just to keep from being run over. I haven't heard yet, but Arizona where Brother Bob lives was supposed to get 8 inches of snow. That much up in the mountains would shut things down unless you had some sort of 4-wheel drive vehicle pretty high off the ground.

YES - this Global Warming is horrible.

8 inches would put a hamper on those steeper inclines. I have driven a 1980 Pontiac station wagon through snow that was above the hood of the car just in order to get home. A lot of other vehicles got stuck or slid off the road into the ditches. One of them was a 4wheel drive. I don't think I would want to attempt that in the mountains though. Some of those roads have some pretty big dropoffs along the side.

Brother,

I wouldn't have any confidence driving on snow and ice up in the mountains or on steep inclines or declines. We used chains in police work when we had snow and ice, and that helps a bunch. However, I wouldn't want to try chains in the mountains. If I absolutely had to, I might try cleated chains in some sort of an emergency. Otherwise, I wouldn't be driving in the mountains on snow and ice. One must also be concerned with what other drivers do or don't do. Up in the mountains, that's just too much to be out unless you have a good reason or an emergency.

8 inches?? Huh

Brother, I have driven a car in 18 inches of snow, and plowed the road with my car. In fact, my Escort last year had snow coming over the hood.

Yes, I do have a 1969 4X4 Chev 3/4 ton truck I sometimes use for bad weather. That's when the snow is over 2 feet though. Mainly I use the truck for carrying heavy stuff, cause of the gas mileage. The (poor) truck only gets 81/2 MPG in town 11 MPG per gallon on the highway.  Cry  Where as the Escort gets 38 MPG in town, and 52 MPG on the highway.  Grin

Brother Bob,

If you're talking about steep inclines and declines for any distance, I would say that you need to give lessons. Ice layers would also be interesting. Can I assume that you don't live near the more radical grades? Just thinking out loud.   Wink

My driveway is about a 40 degree incline. I'm not sure if that is radical or not though. One thing about driving on snow and ice is common sense. Something this world has forgotten about. If conditions are bad enough just slow your speed down. Cheesy 

The rule of thumb I tell everyone is, if don't go faster then it is safe to drive. If the speed limit is 65, but conditions are ok for 45, then do 45 not 65. There have been a few times, Ive had cops follow me.

Yes I know brother, I'm weird. Tongue
