Think it's cold now? Short Memories

Think it's cold now? 140M in U.S. will shiver at 0 degrees -- or lower - CNN.com

I love it when I see these types of stories ... because they are so indicative of the state of American affairs today. We have no memories.

Yes, folks, it will be cold ... it is winter, silly people! It is supposed to be cold when it is winter.
Yes, we are getting snow ... it is supposed to snow in the winter.

So, before everybody croaks in surprise, there is a reason yo mama taught  you to put on your coat, button it up; and then put on a cap and a scarf and wear some gloves or mittens. Put on your galoshes or some boots and then venture outside. Oh, you forgot those lessons? Was it do to all the hype about global warming?

Now, the world is or is not getting warmer ... I can't tell ... I keep moving north were it is colder in the winter, but even if the the climate is changing, this weather should not come as any surprise. It is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, folks. This is what happens in the winter in the north. Did we all forget that?

Oh, and climate change ... like winter, it happens and what happened in the last 15, 50 or 100 years ... that is indicative of zip. That is like trying to project the flight of a ball from a snap shot photograph.

Anyway, bundle up folks, 2014 is probably going to be a rough ride, weather-wise and just about every other-wise  you can think of. We are living in interesting times.
