ndeinma...im clapping my hands...my hat is off to you.very well put.my argument has always been that ifthe scientists that insist that theres global warming didnt insist that the earth is getting warmer they would be out of a job.if he said there wasnt any global warming then there would be no need to pay him big bucks to analize the situation.in 100% agreement with you they are only preserving their job
gbrian56,this economic disaster started long before 2007..it started in the late 80's by banks lending money to people that couldnt afford to pay them back..the banks were to blame and the people that took the loans were too.and this continued into the 90's.when the motgagee couldnt pay the bank foreclosed and with the price of land and homes steadily going up the bank could resell the home for more than the original price(their reson for lending outrageous amounts of money to almost anyone)then the tragedy of 9/11 was another big hit to the economy...investors lost millions...airlines lost billions...the banks began to need their money so when average joe couldnt come up with the money they forclosed but instead of reselling it for more money they now had to resell it for about half its worth...so they went from win,win to lose,lose then the banks had to be bailed out and the came the IDIOT obama..instead of trying to create jobs(like he promised)he decided to do a multi trillion dollar healthcare reform.he also promised to end the war but instead he moved it to afganastan and left a very small force in iraq to be picked off one by one.he promised to (and i quote)kick "big oil" in the pants and let them know that this is our country and we want change...well,we got change...last time i filled my tank gas was 3.08 probably 3.15 now.im not gonna get in to immigration but i will say that hes done nothing there either.i want to ask you one question:can you tell me one thing he has done to benefit this country...and saying he got 88% of his college basketball brackets right didnt benefit the country one iota.he shoulda went to hollywood because hes always on tv..i cant even watch espn anymore because hes there too...enough is enough....let me keepmy freedom,my faith,my guns and my money and YOU can keep the CHANGE!
We just had to evacuate the main shopping mall in my city. Part of the ceiling caved in due to the snow on the roof. https://www.cbc.ca/canada/new-brunswick/story/2011/02/15/nb-fredericton-mall-roof-203.html. I was there when the evacuation took place, but didn't actually see the damage.
Just to let you know, it turns out the roof is fine. The snow was of reasonable quantity. What fell were hanging ceiling tiles. While still a concern, it's not quite as serious as we first thought. https://www.cbc.ca/canada/new-brunswick/story/2011/02/16/nb-fredericton-mall-reopens-roof.html.

Good to hear, Gerry. I had heard about the roof problems at the Freddy mall on the radio the day it happened. As you know, we're having a very brief thaw, if you can call 0 C and rain a thaw. But it's not melting anything. We had a coating of snow this morning before the ice pellets and rain later, and that coating is still on our driveway.....if THAT didn't melt, nothing else did. Moncton is due for another 10cm over tomorrow and tomorrow night, with another snow event coming in on Monday. BTW, Moncton set a new February record for snow depth on the ground. Frequent snowstorms and no prolonged thaws add up to the new record. It's going to be awhile before I have to mow the lawn.
Would you believe in the 90s F in SC? It's true. It's going to be a beautiful weekend for nuding.
May a plague of locusts visit your town this weekend. jk btw, it's snowing here again, so please spare your northern friends a kind thought during your early heat wave.
We have lost a lot of snow we had due to a few wonderfully warm days. but we are getting hit as well here in vermont and it's calling for the same around 10 to 16 inches. :(
6:35 PM Eastern here, and it is COMIN' DOWN. Full out blizzard. Our commute home, normally 15 minutes, took over an hour. Several stuck vehicles, a couple of minor accidents, and a jackknifed trailer blocking the road on the homestretch. Oh, and that was two trailers being hauled. Spring seems eons away.
Around 14" of new powder. Due to drifting, snow was waist deep on me in our tunneled walkway. Here are a few pictures from Moncton and next-door Riverview, taken today.
