Look at this "Global Warming"

[Dagger311]

This is Georgia, where it rarely snows, and we just got a little blanket of snow, and it's going strong.

People really need to learn the terminology. It's "climate change", not "global warming".

Everyone around here calls it that.

But if it's climate change, then yup, that's happening.

Because there are some places where it is getting colder, not warmer.

Looks pretty similar here in Johns Creek. Not unfamiliar with driving in snow, but contrary to Georgia, the Netherlands is as flat as a pancake. So I parked my car at the bottom of my steep driveway.

My whole neghborhood is built on what once was a giant hill. We have some steee(three "e's")p roads here.

Snow in Georgia isn't evidence of global warming/climate change happening. It's evidence of snow. In Georgia. I believe Atlanta's record snowfall was in 1910 - was that climate change "happening"?

It's just snow. It was just snow in 2011 too.

Good point, but the past couple of Winters haven't even been cold. I'd walk around in a t-shirt and jeans out there! Now it's freezing.

Crap, it's, an admin, disregard that.

Just kidding.

snow

That's weater, not climate.

 

[Mikeybc]

We're having a brutally cold winter up here this year, but our climate is eventually going to change one way or the other and there isn't a damn thing mankind to do to stop it.

 

[Dagger311]

It's getting deep. My cousin couldn't even make it home.

I was in Savannah six years ago and there was icing and frost. People kind of lost their minds because lord save them from the ice. Being from the Northwest, snow is normal so I found it all amusing.

Define deep.

Define deep.

Deep enough to close roads and stop traffic. Dad had to walk home.

 

[Beeker1972]

The Earth's climate is always changing and we humans have no control over it. If you want less carbon dioxide emissions don't exhale, and plant more trees! Lots and lots of trees!!! While planting trees don't exhale!

Which is again, a meaningless figure. We typically don't close roads or shut down businesses for anything less than a foot of snow, over night. Then you have Texas, where places close even the thought of snow happens.

Sorry, no sympathies from anyone north of you. Even for 18 inches up here we usually can get out within 10-12 hours after last flake has fallen.

Well excuse me for not grabbing my measuring stick (Actually have one of those, a very thin piece of wood to check how deep the creek is) , running out in the cold, and checking exactly how deep .

Oh yeah, just about everyone gets it worse, we just aren't used to it down here.

Anyway, dad's back, walked 8 miles from Fontaine (Fountaine?) road to here. Took him about two and a half hours.

Same here, we have gotten a good amount of snow up here lately and to go along with this super cold that even im not used to is very annoying, And my car doesnt like it either. The other night i had to drive home with a super mushy clutch pedal that i can only assume is the brake fluid becoming very thick from the cold.

Meanwhile, it was 76F here today.

Not sure it's the snow depth causing that, it's more like all those cars on the road that aren't going anywhere since 13:00. Atlanta traffic sucks big time during rush hour in ideal weather already, so this did not come as a complete surprise to me. (Picture from 10 minutes ago).

 

[Pupik]

Meanwhile, in Alaska...record warmth. I'm in St. Louis right now, and it never got higher than 16, and around 20 back home in Alabama.

The problem is that The South doesn't have much capacity to deal with snow and ice. Nashville came to a halt for seven days (1979?) because they received about 4 inches of snow one night. I doubt may folks have plows at the ready around there.

It's just snow. It was just snow in 2011 too.

That, and about 5000 flight cancellations.

 

[Beeker1972]

AZ is so nice this time of year ...

[White & Nerdy]

@Pupik I can back you up on the record warmth. It's so nice to not have to frantically scrape ice off your windows when you're late for work (that car's got a good heater, but anything more than a light coating of frost usually takes longer to clear than I have time for).

 

[jimipitbull]

Feels pretty warm down here too

 

[Imari]

Climate variation is not climate change. We expect one year to be hotter than another. If they were all the same, it would be highly suspicious.

Which is again, a meaningless figure.

Caution: True story ahead. I was born at Martin Army Hospital in Fort Benning, Georgia. It snowed exactly once in the 7 years that I lived there. My dad was sent home from work. Schools were closed. The city completely shut down. Over 1/4" of snow that lasted an hour and a half.

It looks more like "local freezing".

Why it takes so long?

@Dagger311

I am in Michigan. We have been getting hit with an insane amount of snow this year. Had a few days of -30f degree temperatures with wind chill. I posted these in the weather thread.

6 FOOT to 8 FOOT snow drifts. The building to the left of this has 12 foot snow drifts but no one can get access to the building.

Not sure how accurate this is but it was posted in the global warming thread.

60 years of global warming in 15 seconds.
