m1noel Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 And its piling up even deeper. If all the parts I've worn out on my snow blower don't show up soon we might not get out til spring. I have a few neighbors who physically can't take care of their own driveways and sidewalks, so I do it for them. This year has been the worst here in many, many years. And its cold. And the wind blows. So where do I sign up for this global warming stuff? Ok, enough rants. And for you guys who can still go racing on the weekends- THpppppppp!

Challenger Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yeah we've got piles of snow about 5 ft tall in our front yard and the street. The grocery stores around here have probabably 15-20ft piles. I wonder how much we'd have if there wasnt "climate change". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I really do understand climate change. But that's not going to stop me from bitching about a little snow. Mike:mparty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexideways Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We have it pretty good ourselves too, up here in Canada. Speaking of global warmth, I heard, in a documentary on the subject, that if the planet had been 2-3 degree higher when "created", we wouldn't even know what snow is. If it had been 2-3 colder, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I hope this doesn't turn political. Anyway, I've heard if the earth axis was 2-3 feet off either direction of orbit, we'd have like a 50 degree difference in our current high and low temps.
