Awww...darn storms...=[ We got out our dynamo crank radio and bought a 24 pack case of top ramen. but we dont have enough water=[
We only have a 24 pack case. so its not enough. We need to go back out to the store to pick up some more. I hope our power doesnt go out, cuz some people during the jan 4 storm had their power go out and some didnt get it back until like almost a week later..=[*worried*

so whats the bigger picture is this the beginning of extreme global warming your worried about?

did you know sweden

had no real winter and its always really cold there like Alaska.

Meanwhile, meterological experts here conclude that southern Sweden has really had no winter at all – and that the prolonged autumn is starting to slide into spring with some spring wildflowers already popping into view.

The normal winter period ranging from December through February requires a number of days in a row with below-freezing temperatures - and this hasn’t happened.

    I wasnt thinking bout the global warming thing, just abut how my city is covered in trees and then many down trees are dangerous and the flooding and such.
Gloabal warming is worrysome tho but it can be slowed
    

really? its been a while 4 china

Turboguy wrote: scientists point to global warming to explain the abnormal cold weather phenomenon worldwide. I can't help but laugh at these statements. I know this is not your statement Cole. So because of global WARMING, it's getting COLDER!?! Back when Katrina happened and all the hurricanes pounded the gulf coast it was because of global warming. Now because there was maybe four total storms last year, global warming is the cause for the lack of hurricanes! My God! What isn't global warming causing? Male pattern baldness? The fact that global warming is happening is indisputable, it *IS* getting warmer, but I don't think that it's causing every possible problem around the world. The Meterologist can't even figure out what's going to happen a week from now with any level of accuracy. It's quite literally impossible. The global weather is in a perpetual state of chaos. It's far too easy and overused of a scapegoat, and blaming it on humans is spurious at best. Correlation does not denote causation.

Global warming refers to a general warming trend globally. As weather patterns change, so will localized temperatures - either up or down. It's not that hard to understand.
    

Have you ever thought about moving turbo? I am a strong believer in"if you don't like it,change it"Just a thought.

Change of direction here - why the name "Turboguy"?
    

Rainy City? Oh yeah - very nearly married a girl from Manchester actually. I was born and raised in Chester. Been enjoying the sunshine in So Cal for nearly 20 years and counting.
