What an interesting article!
Meanwhile, back here in reality; we just got shit on in a new and unusual way!
We had rain and upper thirties all day yesterday, then the deep freeze last night and some more snow.

What has made this winter so rough is that there was no mid January thaw. Having a few 40 degree days mixed with the cold days gives you a break and can really lift your spirits. I checked the 10 day forecast though no such break for me in sight.
I like to run outside even if it is cold (as long as the wind ain't too bad) but this year I've had very little opportunities because people don't shovel. Normally after a big snow we get a stretch of days in the not too distant future were the snow at least melts on the sidewalks so I can run. No such luck this year.

My son, who lives in town, here, and is normally of sane mine called me tonight bitching about the worst superbowl ever, and told me we were in line for this ginormous snow storm starting Tuesday afternoon. What the fvck?

You ain't kiddin'. For Indiana, it's pretty much been going on this way since the beginning of January. My kids have had 5 snow/cold days off of school since January 6 (including 4 days in a row when the big snow/cold storm hit that week of 1/6), and probably looking at a 6th with the expected snow coming tonight (it already started snowing about 2 hours ago). Not to mention at least (5) 2-hour delays mixed in there as well. The state of Indiana gave all schools a waiver on the first 2 days of that early January storm, are considering a 3rd, but my kids have already accounted for 2 of them by going to school on MLK day and will be going on President's Day. At this rate, they'll be lucky to get out of school by July LOL.

The one where a semi-delirious young woman dressed in only a slip is complaining about the oppressive heat to her landlady. Earth is moving closer to the sun, temperatures are soaring, water is rationed, and people are fleeing the cities for the mountains (and nobody had heard of Al Gore). The young woman paints a picture of a cool watery scene but the oil paint melts in the stifling heat and she faints.
In the next scene the women is being tended to by a doctor for her delirious condition. He's wearing an overcoat. Earth isn't moving toward the sun. It's drifting off into space with plunging temperatures. The woman was only dreaming of warmth.
This condition is known to non-Californians as, "winter".

I'm on the SE side of Indy. Got home at 4:15 no snow. Walked outside 10 minutes later to get the mail and already had an inch on the ground. We had a 12" snow fall one day in January. Predicting 10"-12" tonight.

I didn't go to work for three days...was actually excited to go back.
I think I got about 7 inches in the backyard this time. Working from home again today.

9th day off in a month. Holy cow. I just got back from a mini-vacation in Los Angeles, worked yesterday, and now another day off.
But really, if you are EVER going to have a free day off, NSD is the day. I used to take this day off, and now I get a free one? I ain't complaining.

Feel the same way LA. They are already talking about some of our make up days being over Spring Break. I feel the "flu" coming on in March.

Oh man. I am looking at the neighbor's split rail fence and the bottom rail is totally buried. We got slammed! And are still getting it!

Oh, look, the sun is out. Just stopped snowing. It has been so cloudy around dusk lately (clearing in the late night hours) that people will be surprised how much lighter it is; how much longer daylight appears.
Little consolation that the snow is almost touching the second rail of the split rail fences!

I just thought of a wonderful way to make a point, something constructive out of the pain in the ass this winter has been.
This speaks to how the human mind works. Is it truly stupid or ignorant? Or is it just sometimes just devoid of possibilities?
Is the problem with some of us faulty methodology? Or do those of us with different beliefs that seem irreconcilable just need to look at incorporating new data (admitting to greater possibilities) differently?
Turns out there is a whole level of government conspiracists who are claiming that the government is poisoning us by what? That is right, the snow.
Now if I lived in West Va, I would be upset with the government and industries performance lately, and I would feel like I had a bull's-eye on my back. But these snow, contrail, poisoning stories are just that; stories. Explanations. Uninformed reactions.
They center around snow that doesn't melt, it just burns. (Some dark government agency that invents a way to deliver inches of snow, geographically covering millions of square miles, and they cannot even get the dissipation right. Why that snow would last through spring and burst into flame in the summer right?

It is a shame when people with limited information put it all together and draw a conclusion, without even asking questions, and adding to the information available, before he comes to a conclusion.

OK...I give up....I like winter...way more than the worst hot muggy days of deepest summer...but I give. It is -6 with wind chill of -21 right now. Kids are off for the 10th day since end of Christmas break due to dangerous wind chills.
I am looking into places to live on the sun. Anyone know an area there with good schools, good broadband, and gainful employment?

I have on more than one occasion been thrust into this conspiracy by some of my acquaintances. I had to show them how if you put a torch on the snow it will turn black from the soot generated by the fuel source. Also the odor generated by the same process. I then demonstrated on a piece of glass with similar results. Still, though, in the light of general evidence they were not convinced #thanksObama.
