anon — via the same process it always has. Just like it did during the ice ages, too.

And guys, I know the difference between weather and climate — indeed, that is one of the things I teach my students. And given that we have seen a marked cooling trend over the last decade, I think the entire AGW thing ought to be mocked — and those who knowingly perpetuated the fraud on the world prosecuted and imprisoned.

Well, just got the satellite back to find out we are in a state of emergency. There is no flipping way we only have 17 inches here. In clear, undrifted areas there is an easy 2 feet. Appoquinimink schools are closed for Monday, and the cord broke off the snow blower. See you in the Spring…..Oh and Pandora, we started a pot of chili and cornbread around here–but darn that pasta sounds good:)!

FYI. It just happens to be a fact that people need to get to nursing homes, hospitals, group homes and other vital human service programs, rain or snow. There are clients who need servicing. Are staff expected to remain “at work” 24/7? Ambulances still need to get through, how can they when even the main roads are still filled with snow and now ice?

It’s fun when deniers show their ignorance for all to see. Mockery would be justified if scientists predicted there would be no snow or winter would cease. These weather = climate people must get awful confused during summer.

The snow predictions for Rehoboth and what we actually got remind me of the teabaggers – a lot of talk, a lot of hype, but a whole lot of nothing.

Re RWR and snow=global warming mockery:

How the f**k do you think all that water gets into the atmosphere?

How much global warming is there on the ground out there in Delaware?

I know we got a global warming day off from school a couple of weeks ago when a couple of inches of global warming fell down here in Houston.

Personally, I’m hoping that we get another couple of inches of global warming down here on Thursday night/Friday morning so we can have a white Christmas.

So do you like snow yet or must this carpet bombing persist until you assimilate? Snow is the new Borg–amirite trekkies?

I’m sure there’s been more than a foot in Wilmington — I’ve been outside to shovel twice today and it begins accumulating again pretty quickly.

And there is a good effort so far in the city to plow and sand streets, so maybe nemski is right, lol!

There’s 20 inches of snow on the patio tables out back where the wind doesn’t blow. I can’t remember ever seeing this much snow in Delaware.

Since there’s a state of emergency, JK shouldn’t be on his snowy streets anyway, but the fact is the state IS focused on major roads first. It’s a full time effort just to keep the major roadways remotely drivable.
