They won’t get it! Besides the UHI effect there is so strong from all the hot air they might not even notice, except for the fact the administration will probably give the gubmint workers another tax payer funded “snow day” due to the temp. I mean really cold temps are as catastrophic as 4″ of snow for them aren’t they? The people have to understand that the average civil servant has a very slow metabolism. This why their work pace is similar to that of a sloth. This is because sloth metabolism and speed is a prerequisite for having a job there. And so they can’t tolerate cold very well at all and must be protected.
Please, the last thing I want is for them to work faster and pass more legislation curtailing our freedoms.
On a side note, here where I live it’s a beautiful day. The sky is blue, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and although it’s cold there is no wind!
I am directly south of Raleigh NC by about 30 – 40 miles. We are looking at 1° F revised up from minus 1° F
The record low for tomorrow is 11 °F (1979) That is for the old weather station.
The lowest reading for the week is -2 °F (1899)
Perfect blue skies and sunshine, no wind, here. 50 degrees F., will probably get to 70F in the afternoon. We have about a twenty degree F change from lows to highs just about every day most of the year. Global warming doesn’t scare us in the west. We “do” hot, and yet once a couple of years ago I had two nights of 0 degrees for the low. That was a first! We often just have winter temps in the teens (high desert here), then up to 50s or 60s in the afternoons. This winter has been unusually warm, and I fear that trees and plants will sprout, then get frozen later. We have had a couple of freezes as late at first week of May, but not recently. The ground is green right now, looks a bit like mid-summer after rains except for the bare trees. I’m surely glad I live here (very thin blood!)

Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven’t got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don’t know… But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking… don’t they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you’re right.”
Wizard: Why, anybody can have a brain. That’s a very mediocre commodity.
Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth,
or slinks through slimy seas has a brain! Back where I come from we
have universities – seats of great learning – where men
go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep
thoughts, and with no more brains than you have.
But – they have one thing you haven’t got – a diploma!
Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universita Committeeatum E Pluribus Unum,
I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of Th.D.

The Boston Globe has reported that the latest storm this weekend secured February 2015’s place as the snowiest month on record in Boston with 58.5 inches falling, It beat January 2005’s previous record by over 15 inches. and the month is no where near over! http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/02/15/snow/2IO1E0ibEJ1PK1sC1wPAyO/story.html
Meanwhile it is snowing hard here in mid North Carolina. That is two winters in a row and we normally get snow once every five years. At least the District of Criminals is also expected to get more snow this evening.
Yes, we just got half an inch of snow from the Arctic front going thru DC. Probably enough to close the Government tomorrow! As if anyone would ever notice the difference.
But LA is hot and dry!!! We are all doomed!!!! 🙂

Washington is incapable of receiving messages from the real world, Gaia is wasting Her time.
The worst of the cold is expected to focus over the East for Thursday into Friday.
In the mid-Atlantic, some daily record lows set during the late-1800s will be challenged.

Chicago’s brutal cold the Drudge Report right now…

Whoa, looks like all the extra heat must have sank to the bottom of Lake Michigan.
Tell me it ain’t so! I’m headed to Chicago Thursday and Friday of next week…from Phoenix!
The liars will just say it’s climate change from AGW.
