We have about a 1/8th of a inch of snow on the ground and a very light snow falling, and yes schools are closed. My boys who usually are praying for schools to close are all upset, they had their first middle school baseball game this afternoon and now it will have to be rescheduled

Hooray, broke the low temperature record for Feb. 24th set in 1948 & tied in 1996 by 12 degrees at -11 at 5:51 this morning. Kicking ass here in the Northeast and celebrating all day.

It is still Winter in the Northern hemisphere. The first day of Spring is March 21st.
So, I'm a killjoy? Pragmatic too!

Memory's a funny thing.
Wait for a ten degree rise in temperature .. however brief. Then sit back and see a 'Global Warming Is Here Again' thread develop ....
Happily, the UK isn't experiencing extremes in temperature .. it's been a fairly run-of-the-mill winter over here (maybe a bit on the warm side, if anything). We've had a couple of cold snaps - nothing extreme - and now temperatures are ranging between around 8 degrees C in daytime and just above freezing at night. Fairly typical for this time of year.
None of this will be instructive to anyone here, of course. The first sign of any heatwave, even if we have to wait until summer for one (!!!) and the doom-mongers will be in full cry once more.

It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
Right you are! I believe, since our pretend president has announced that Global Warming is more dangerous than ISIS, or ISIL. All of us should donate a few ObamaBucks, and buy snow shovels that can be delivered to the WHITE HOUSE.
And they (shovels) should be marked "GLOBAL WARMING TOOLS".

Good one.
Logically ... if Obama is so sure that 'global warming' is more of a threat than ISIS ... is he therefore guaranteeing that we'll see signs of global warming before any ISIS threat materialises ? If so, any story we hear of any ISIS atrocity (e.g more captive beheadings, say ..) must be bogus, if not preceded by a heatwave in the continental US .....
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
Seems as if there is only ONE REAL WAY Obama will ever dare admit ISIS, or ISIL are a threat, and related to Islamic Terrorists. And sadly...that ONE WAY will probably be when our WHITE HOUSE is attacked, and burned down for the SECOND time in our history.
But then again. With all of the Muslim Brotherhood Protection the Obama's have around them. Maybe they would make Obama their MARTYR, and make Obama watch the beheadings of his two daughters, and Moochell???

Yes the schools where closed and I agree Gabs, of course if the roads had snow on them that is Today they are calling for snow coming in late in the day ( early evening ) so schools are letting out early, they are calling for 1 to 3 inches and if we do get that much school will be done for the week. We have no real equipment to clear the roads and Gabs you are exactly right folks have no idea how to drive in it, heck if the clouds are white people panic in the winter down here
But on a positive note, the food stores love it, when the weatherman calls for any kind of wintery mix you can't find a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk, people must plan on living on milk and bread.

It was -16 here the other day and yesterday was a heat wave, it was -5. I think I will move where it is warmer.... Alaska maybe? 0
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
