Global Warming? Heh!

Yup, the world keeps getting warmer and warmer, doesn't it? Global warming? Yeah.

Growing up in the frigid regions of the upper Midwest, I recall that in the 1970's, there were mass predictions of a global ice age. Whatever.

Snow in SoCal this week. Temperatures into the 20's at night. Temperatures in the Midwest were mostly at zero degrees this morning.

The top picture shows snow at Pinon Hills in the high desert area north and east of Los Angeles.

The picture at the left shows snow in Palmdale today.







The picture to the left shows snow in the mountains outside Palmdale this morning.






This is SoCal we are talking about here, land of orange groves, 365 sunshine, and perpetual 72 degrees. This is not supposed to be SoCold.

Still, we know this will pass soon. Not so with Minot, North Dakota, whose HIGHT temperature was -4 degrees, and whose low temperature was -11 degrees. You know it is cold when the thermometer does not break past zero!
