In an article by Michael Kunzelman featured on aol.com news entitled,
"Rare Snow Coats Louisiana, Mississippi",
tells the story of, "a rare snowfall blanket[ing] south Louisiana and
parts of Mississippi on Thursday, closing schools, government offices
and bridges, triggering crashes and leaving thousands without power."
About 8" of snow accumulated throughout these southern states. One New
Orleans resident said that the last time she saw any snow fall at all
was back in December of 2004. Close to 5" of snow is the record for
these states set back on December 30, 1963. A weather service remarked
that, "the previous earliest date for measurable snowfall in New
Orleans was Dec. 22, 1989."
Now for those of us living in
snowier states like Pennsylvania, 8" of snow isn't bad enough to close
down most businesses because we are prepared for the wintry mess.
Here in Harrisburg, PA between 1948-1991 We averaged 35.4" of the white stuff each year!
Between December and February we average between 7" and 10". Snowfall
is not uncommon, so our road crews are prepared and so are our
citizens, we have adapted to it over the years. But these poor
southerners never have snow so most of them don't own shovels, plows or
salt resulting in cancellations, delays and closings. What I want to
know is where is the self-righteous Al Gore when all of this is
happening? I am confused; I was told the world was warming. In January,
27, 2006 Al Gore said, we only have about 10 years before we reach the
"tipping point" - 'the point at which we no longer have as much ability
and opportunity to stop the damage and change things, and reverse
global warming.' If that was Gore's goal to reverse global warming,
which translates to me as, 'cool the earth down', then his work here is
done and he can go home now and shut up. Gore has successfully stopped
global warming, thanks to the help of the followers of his cult. After
all, if the Earth were still warming each year, our friends down south
wouldn't be shoveling snow right now with their garden picks and hoes
(no offense intended to ladies of the night).
