VOA News – Snow Storm Pounds Northeastern United States — Geez, it’s March already and this?

A powerful late-winter snow storm pounded the northeastern United States Monday, cutting power to thousands of homes and grounding hundreds of flights.

Forecasters predicted up to 30 centimeters of snow in several northeastern states. Strong winds also swept across the region. Municipal workers drove salt trucks and snow plows to clear roads, but motorists still faced hazardous conditions during the morning commute. Many bus services were canceled. U.S. authorities closed schools in several states and delayed the opening of federal offices in Washington.

Heavy snow forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights at airports in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

On Sunday, the storm swept through the southern U.S. states of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, bringing unusually heavy snowfall to the region.

    This isn’t unusual for March in the northeast.
    @ 10 years ago here in northeast PA we had a snowstorm on the last day of March that shut down the highways. People were stranded in their cars- a state of emergency was declared. I think that storm affected NJ and NY also.

    Greenland used to be *green* mere 1000 years ago when Vikings try to settle there. Yet it froze within a century and remained like that till today.

    I wonder how much CO2 Vikings must have been producing to cause such strong “global warming” effect. Clearly we are peanuts compared to Viking, we can’t even defrost Greenland in past 50 years, all we can come up with is some “powerful snowstorm” that’ll be over already by the time I finish posting LOL

    Keep posting these things suggesting that global warming is overhyped, and Greenpeace might steal your trash too.

    LOL
    I’m not suggesting it, it IS.

    Greenland is just one of many examples green faggots can’t and won’t discuss because it doesn’t support their “data” (collected – mind you – in just past 50 years or so, while climate changes happen over the spans of centuries and sometimes even millenias, just check out official infos on last Ice Age).

    # 12 RBG said, “It’s Climate Change You Can Believe In but without the warming part.”

    That makes sense. Thanks

    It’s not supposed to make sense.

    There has not been any warming in 10 years, something totally not predicted by the global warming climate models. But that is why it is now climate change and not warming. But if it is not warming, how can you have climate change? Logic is not part of the discussion, you have to realize that you are arguing a religion, and zealotry is the principle and science data is expendable in the discussion.

    very odd.

    #36–RBG==great chart. What does it mean? Is something going up, or is a negative value being charted meaning that something is going down?

    Curious minds just gotta know!

    You know, links are the basis of sound communication.

    Well, according to some on this site, humans couldn’t have possibly survived on Earth if the temps were such as to have Greenland being green. Thus, humans evolved in the last 1000 years during a “cool” period.

    This is satellite data covering 300,000 temperature sites twice a day, land and ocean, no urban heat island influence.The years 77 through 99 are the determinate average line (0 on the graph). If one does a linear regression the line is up from 78, but if you look at the moving average the temp in 2008 was the same as 1980. The overall trend is down in the last 10 years. Why hasn’t the temperature increased above the peak in 98 despite the alarmists shouting of we are at a tipping point, the world is coming to an end?

    Why has climatology of all things become such an intensely political issue? What’s next — Reaction Stoichiometry? Cladistics? Quantum chromodynamics? (I can see the headline: “Is there a color barrier to be overcome in quark-gluon interaction theory?”) Will Strange Matter be debated in Congress or vehemently berated on radio talk shows?

    All I see is a lot of heat for what appears to be very little reason.

  11. bobbo says:

    #41–Unc==”Why has climatology of all things become such an intensely political issue?” /// Its not. With a few exceptions, things the government does not spend money on are political, and WITHOUT EXCEPTION anything/everything the government does spend money on is political–because regardless of what else it is, it is political.

    Don’t you just hate brain farts?
