They say we'll get some snow in Atlanta too. There will surely be riots over toilet paper on the 11 o'clock news.

Heh, one of my New York cousins specifically wanted to live places that were not cold. Went to Vanderbilt, graduated, moved to Atlanta...and the city was hit by a decent snowstorm that winter. Now of course she lives in Texas.

See Proof of Global Warming... (even if it fails to explain record lows in places like Wyoming and Montana last year)

Snow??you mean that whitish stuff that occasional falls from the sky?
Dont see that much around here :D :D

The warmer the planet is as a whole, the more energy is in the atmosphere. Since that's where we get wind from, that means we get more of that - which in turn is energetic enough to drive climate systems that start at a given latitude farther from home.

...I wish we had more snow here in WV. I like snow.

Nah I grew up in Wyoming where it snows several feet every winter, our Angus and Herfords did just fine. (even nif Cows are the damn dumbest animals on the face of the Planet)

Today day was a sunny day and I live in New York.... If I remember right its only been cold for two days in the whole of last month.

As long as you don't subscribe to the theory that humans are causing this, Tan ;)

That was my whole point Logi ^.^ I fail to see how Humans in a few hundred years could have done anything that would have a true effect on global warming.

Hmmmm I will have to see if there is actual Snow on the ground but considering that I live in Buffalo NY bad reputation and all it is December and will be a very late first snowfall if it did finally arrive.

It is, indeed, the single greatest achievement of our species to date. ^_^

I wont argue over it with you, so stop trying to bait me into a discusion on it. I belive what I belive and leave others free to belive whatever they choose, if you cant offer the same respect, we must agree to Disagree.
