Impeach Al Gore
I cannot believe that it is snowing outside my window.
This is just wrong.
Update: Via Judy, Is Al Gore the cause of Gorebal Warming??? Inquiring minds want to know!
Icicle Al heads home to his Tennessee thermo-mansion:A spokeswoman said Gore was on a flight from Washington, D.C., to Nashville Friday ...
At which point the Gore Effect delivered unto Nashville a brutal Gor’easter:
There’s snow falling on Nashville ... residents are reporting flurries around Vanderbilt, Hillsboro Village and Bellevue.
If you think it’s cold now, just wait. The coldest April temperature ever reported in Nashville was 23 degrees. Tonight, the forecast calls for a low of 22.
The Earth has A Very Big Chill!
Put your head between your knees and kiss your sweet tuckus goodbye, my friends!
Ask not for whom the Ice Age cometh -- it cometh for Thee!

Fear not Milady!
I have an old Chevy pickup with a 454. I'll start it up, a seismic event will register somewhere within the Middle East, ice-sheets will collapse in Antarctica and you will have a warm-front rolling in with 48 hours…

I'm working on my own version of chaos theory to confound Al Gore: I'm perched on a very rickety step ladder dressed in one of my husband's old t-shirts listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan blast on my stereo, painting and eating lentil soup :p
Take that, Al!!! That's about as chaotic as it gets!

We had snow, yes, snow in ATLANTA last night.
An April Snow flurry in Atlanta..
Forget Global Goring - Methinks the new Ice Age is here.

"We had snow, yes, snow in ATLANTA last night."
That's why my vegetable garden is never planted before 15-Apr. here just above the northern exurbs of hot'lanta. Momma Nature does not suffer fools or tender plants forsaken to the vagaries of her whims.

I'll never forget how it snowed in MAY(!!!) on the MD peninsula--Sudlersville, to be exact. 1986, I believe. Last week we had heavy hail in SoCal.

" ... Stevie Ray Vaughan ... lentil soup ... "
sounds pretty good.

It's also currently 38 (feels like 29) and raining in Austin. I'd planned on going to the Express game (first pitch 7:05), but I wouldn't be surprised if the game was called for rain (forecast says 36 and rain for the 7 o'clock hour. Some form of precip until 3am. Maybe Easter Sunday will turn into a double-header?

The Unifying Physics Theory of rickety ladders as postulated by my former physics professor did include legumes and SRV as a cause for the absence and suspected breaking away of gluons from the ladder's sub-atomic structure... come to think of it!

It was snowing here in Weeksville, NC this morning too. My daughter in Va. Beach said it had covered the beach sand. BTW, the sunshine started during the funeral. Through the stained glass windows and lit up the service. nice touch, thanks for the prayer.

Now, even Austin is looking at a forecast of snow flurries overnight!
Posted by: Miss Ladybug at April 7, 2007 05:41 PM
Gosh, yeah, it's *cold* here, too. It's only 83 and the clouds just keep flitting by .... their shadows dancing in silent grace over this high desert valley floor in a timeless waltz.

Shut up, Sly. :P We haven't had a genuinely sunny day in a week. *pout*

Jingle all the way!

Now, now, Fbl, I was down there just this last Monday, it was a fine day!
Posted by: Sly2017 at April 7, 2007 07:59 PM
Heh. LOL! Monday MAY have been decent. But every day since then has been dismal and we haven't seen the sun since a couple of hints on Tuesday. Intolerable for SoCal. I refuse to be budged from my whining about the weather. ;)
Good to see you, btw. I'm sorry I didn't follow up. As you'll see from my blog, I just disappeared for awhile...

Blindingly bright blue skies and 75 in Miami...yawn....

Frackin' blizzard in the mountains of western Virginia and West Virginia today, driving north on I-77, home to 17 F tonight. There go the blossoms on my cherry tree.
Cripes, it was 88 on Tybee Island on Wednesday.
Impeach Gore from his post of minister of weather control! :)

Won't be the first time little feet in patent leather Mary Janes will go to Easter Sunrise Service in the snow and it won't be the last.
Indoor egg hunts, anyone?

When I was at work this morning, there were lots of people coming in looking for sweaters or coats to go with those cute little Easter dresses they'd previously picked out, or picking out entirely new ensembles more appropriate for the weather. I don't hear the sleet anymore, but it's still cold in the house. It's not supposed to be like this in Texas in April! I saw a news report on Fox from the Western White House, and there appeared to be snow (or maybe sleet) falling and on the ground.

Plano TX had snow flurries at lunchtime....
"I'm dreeeeaaamming of a white Easter..."

Fbl sez "Heh. LOL! Monday MAY have been decent. But every day since then has been dismal and we haven't seen the sun since a couple of hints on Tuesday. Intolerable for SoCal. I refuse to be budged from my whining about the weather."
Oh.no.you.didn't.
It was 88 degrees on Tuesday and it snowed early Saturday morning.
There will be consequences for this in early May.
Serious.consequences. involving 80's punk rock music.
Crap that'll make your ears bleed.

I remember a time in 1983, whilst living in State College, PA, during the Easter Holidays (before the fashionable atheists insisted on calling it spring break) the lawn to lawn and roof to roof
bodies soaking up the sun. Frat Row was especially funny as the lads and lasses were
sunbathing nearly in the buff. No one was doing anything inappropriate, as casting a shadow would have been cause for much hysteria.
However, the best part about this was the fact that the temperature was in the low 60s. BUT THE SUN WAS OUT!!! Goose pimples and white, glowing winter flesh that blinded innocent passersby were mere inconveniences!
The music? Please. Def Lepard, Annie Lenox, Pat Benatar, Huey Lewis...

Carrie: :P
I think the last time it was any higher than 70 out here was a brief heat wave we had had about 3 weeks ago. And we haven't seen the sun for over a week (except for Monday afternoon when Sly visited). I feel like I'm back in Indiana. Bah!
And do you really want to get into a music fight with a music education professional well-versed in international folk music? *evil grin*

I sent you something extra special...:)

I live in beautiful Augusta, GA. Any of you who watched that golf tournament we, might have heard that it was "cold" here. Now, 40-50 degrees isn't all that cold. But to put it in perspective, the average temperature for this time of year here is thirty degrees higher.
All this cold weather? IT'S GLOBAL WARMING I TELL YA!
Posted by: MikeD at April 9, 2007 11:29 AM
It looked like they were dying there in Augusta. I don't like it unless its 75+ myself.
Posted by: luton at April 9, 2007 08:12 PM
In Millinocket Maine having 6 inches of snow on the ground in March is fine, but usually by April we only have 0-3 inches and lots of mud that usually freezes. This April we had several storms back to back that dropped over a foot. Of course this is probably to make up for last winter when it stopped snowing in February.

I'm thinking of buying some plywood and nails to board up my windows for hurricane season this year, since it's supposed to be really really bad. They'll have to define category 6 and 7 just to keep track of the severity, and invent a whole new alphabet to keep track of the quantity of storms that GLOBAL WARMING is sure to bring. I'll probably need to keep my windows here in Oregon boarded up all summer to keep them from getting blown out!
Posted by: Lee at April 10, 2007 04:10 PM
Tomorrow we expect the Red Sox game to be snowed out (possibly 6 inches in some areas), a whole series was snowed out in Cleveland ... damn global warming.
