Pretty awesome snow storm. Have a look at Jalopnik.com and their Chicago Lake Shore Drive picture, wow! Looks like some kind of disaster movie.

I'm sure the kids, big and small, will be having a great time playing in the white stuff.

Biggest storm in decades hits the U.S. Biggest cyclone in decades hits Australia and still people want to keep their heads in the sand about Global Warming and Climate Change. How they can be so short-sighted and naive is beyond me.

Is ignorance blissful?

Because it's not warm, Taka. :-)

Everyone knows global warming means it gets hotter everywhere and one cold spell proves it's just a conspiracy.

Which is it, global warming or climate change? Even the IPCC was forced to stop using the term "global warming" because their "predictions" had ALL failed to pan out. Oops. Looks like it back to manipulating the human imputs for the "computer modeling".

What does the term, "biggest storm in DECADES" mean to you? Large snowfalls are not uncommon. Moist air meets cold air. Dew point of moist air falls and so does the excess moisture as rain, hail and snow. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Cyclones and hurricanes are not uncommon either. Connecting them directly to the small percentage of man-made CO2 has proven impossible except to the "true believers".

Chicago, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Canada and every other place mentioned in the article will dig themselves out - just like they've always done - and life will go on. You know what "they" say, weather happens.

What it means to me is that we are experiencing more severe weather and will continue to do so.

Yes, but we are experiencing more powerful cyclones than we have in the past.

But don't believe me, I was only a weather forecaster for 14 and a half years. I'm sure your experience and knowledge on tropical weather and convective severe weather puts mine to shame.

Unless I'm skiing on it, I have no use for it either. I'm with you, bring on the cherry blossoms!

OK, you talked me into it.

What percentage of the time were your 7 day forcasts correct? 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, zero? Did you predict the recent blizzard in the winter-weary U.S. Northeast? Do you have a better track record than the IPCC's predictions?

It was more severe when I was a kid in the 80s.
