Default Global Warming?? Upstate N.Y. Snow: 8 Feet and Counting!

Bitter Cold Grips Northern States


PARISH, N.Y. (AP) -- Sunshine greeted residents of this snowbound
village on Saturday, giving crews a chance to haul away some of the 8
feet of snow that has fallen during the past week.

"The sun's out, but it isn't going to last," Mike Avery said as he
took a brief break from loading dump trucks with snow to be taken to a
pile outside town.

The National Weather Service said the bands of lake-effect snow fed by
moisture from Lake Ontario would continue weaving up and down the
lake's eastern shore during the weekend, dropping 2 to 4 more feet of
snow with wind of up to 25 mph.

"It's all we need," Avery said, his tractor dwarfed by the snowbank he
was trying to dismantle. "It's getting monotonous."

Parish - about 25 miles northeast of Syracuse - reached a milestone
early Saturday with 100 inches of snow over the past seven days, the
National Weather Service said. Unofficial reports pegged totals at 123
inches in Orwell and 122 in Redfield, but the weather service said
those numbers include snow from another storm a couple of days before
the current weather system arrived last Sunday. All three towns are in
Oswego County.

More than a week of bitter cold and slippery roads have contributed to
at least 20 deaths across the northeastern quarter of the nation -
five in Ohio, four in Illinois, four in Indiana, two in Kentucky, two
in Michigan, and one each in Wisconsin, New York and Maryland,
authorities said. No deaths were reported in Oswego County.

It's been an exhausting week in Oswego County.

"This is right up there with the best of them, almost as bad as the
Blizzard of '66. But there ain't nothing good about this much snow,"
Ray DeLong grumbled as his snowblower clogged and stalled on Friday in
nearby Mexico.

Mexico residents see 5- to 6-foot snowfalls every two or three years,
but even hardened locals are amazed at the scenes before them now:
parked SUVs noticeable only because their antennas or roof racks stand
above the snow's surface; front doors buried, with footprints leading
to second-story windows; 6-foot-thick slabs of snow that have slid off
roofs, forming colossal arches as they stretch intact to the ground.

Sidewalks look like miniature canyons.

Mark Kelcinski's son spent two hours Friday with a shovel and
snowblower in front of the family's graphics design shop, carving a
path through the snowbank to the street. They have done the same thing
each day for five days.

"That's all we do is shovel and snowblow all day long," said
Kelcinski. "You go home and then come in and do the same thing again
the next day."

The state transportation department said 125 workers from elsewhere in
the state had been sent in with snow equipment to help.

The region is located along the Tug Hill Plateau, the snowiest region
this side of the Rocky Mountains. It's a 50-mile wedge of land that
rises 2,100 feet from the eastern shore of Lake Ontario and catches
the snow-laden winter wind blowing off the lake. It usually gets about
300 inches - roughly 25 feet - of snow a year.

The hamlet of Hooker, near the boundaries of Jefferson, Lewis, and
Oswego counties, holds the state record for snowfall in a year - 466.9
inches, about 39 feet, in the winter of 1976-77. It sits right next to
the hamlet of Montague, which got 77 inches in a 24-hour period in
January 1997.

If it had been a "cold" winter, the Great Lakes would have frozen over.
Since they weren't the warm waters of one of the greatest sources of
fresh water on the planet provided the fuel for the snowfall. Simple
physics. The warmer water evaporated into the air and was dumped back to
earth by the colder air passing over it.

The original posting was not be me by a forger of my name who knows I
don¹t take his retarded position on global warming. And he is incapable
of intellectually exchanging comments, a member of the intellectual
zombies of the American right.

Paris is have 14°C February days right now, the warmest winter
in recorded history in western Europe.

OK, Bach, start a real discussion.

A blast from the past or a message from Mixi?

Do you think his creditors have finally twigged that his cupboard is full of
servers and taken them away?

OMAHA, Neb. - The opening-night party for "Urinetown- The Musical"
will take on a urological cast in Omaha. Decorative yellow and white
flowers will be arrayed in bedpans. Dessert- something yellow- will be
served in specimen cups.

It's what you might expect from the show's sponsor, The Urology Center
of Omaha.

The 2002 Tony-award winning Broadway musical opens Friday night at the
Omaha Community Playhouse. Among the show's song titles: "It's a
Privilege to Pee."

He hasn't updated his blog for weeks. A pity, because it was always quite
interesting in a Mixi-ish way.

Speaking of "no" (sic) nothing, it is written as know-nothing,
my English challenged skinflint.

It took ages for his blog site to come up last night. For a few minutes I
thought the site had gone.
I think his creditors have seized his PCs and servers.
