Grandpa is on a distinguished road
Default This just ain't right

It's the middle of January. We are supposed to be out snow machining on 5 feet of snow, or skiing, or camping in a snow cave. Instead, Grandma is getting ready to BBQ a rack of ribs, and a dutch oven full of taters, OUTSIDE. It's just not right.

Well don't forget it's 2012 and supposedly the earth is going to end this year with all that global warming stuff. You have climate change to think for your lack of snow.

I feel the same way. Winter is not winter without snow and this still doesn't feel right. We have low temperatures and howling winds but snow is still passing us by.

Speak for yourselves. We got a foot of snow in the last two days and it is currently 7 degrees here.

The pattern is about to change in Nevada at the end of next week. Climate change has nothing to do with it. There is a lot of variability in the climatic record, and huge swings in the dendochronological (tree rings) and glacial varves records. Geologic time shows ice ages and warm periods like around 1100 when grapes were grown in England.

Well for us South Louisiana Cajuns that 'IS' right Grandpa. Last night we were sitting around a camp fire in da yard, roasting weenies, playing , singing, and passing around a couple jugs of homemade wine. The weenie roasting turned into a contest and we started bacon wrapping with green onion tops and salad greens picked from da garden. Instead of complaining about the noise the neighbor walked over grabbed a couple beers and a weenie stick and joined the fun. We partied till 10 pm or so and had a wonderful back yard camping time. When I walked in to check email before bed time the computer said it was still 70 degrees.
