That makes about as much sense as the garbage purveyed by the usual news media suspects (NPR, cBS, etc.) that this latest example of extreme weather may be caused by global warming.
University of Washington meteorologist Cliff Mass succinctly puts their reporting where it belongs: among the fairy stories we heard as children. He does have a bit more concern about AGW than the other meteorologists I respect, but he shows that extreme weather is not, in fact, a trend:
“The media needs to stop pushing this unsupported argument.”
Happily, things already are warming up at the rancho, with highs in the 70s expected by the weekend. How sweet it will be. Of course we are pretty far south.
UPDATE: Joe Bastardi at Weather Bell adds this funny: “The cause for the cold this winter so far was outlined long ago. Yet many media outlets are seriously taking the idea that AGW is causing this as something to consider. Its as if every single event that has happened before [’77 & ’85], doesnt count. How the heck did it get so cold before?”

Still too cold for me to mount up on my Fat Boy. If it’s less than 60F or so, it just ain’t near as much fun. It becomes a chore, a necessity. I prefer to ride with only a t-shirt, jeans, and boots/shoes.
(Flip-flops don’t count as footwear.)
Given the possibility of taking all the skin off your feet in an accident, I would think not. If the NWS ain’t foolin’, you should be able to mount up by Sunday.
Yeah. Space aliens are good as a cause. Almost as good as the Elders.

Well, that is concerning. Could the first Iranian international “news show” be wrong? Not bloody likely for a faithful mentor of MSNBC.
Why is every one so excited about possible aliens ? They’ve had several of their own shows on MSNBC for a half a decade or more.
