    49 out of 50

    49 States currently have snow on the ground. The lone hold out is Florida.

    It is estimated that about 70% of the US surface is covered with snow!

    The attachment is an image of the snow cover as of this morning or you can hit the map link below.

    It isn't out of the ordinary for Mauna Loa to have snow on it's peak during the winter.

    Last time I was in Hawaii to get away from the winter weather in Minnesota there were winter storm warnings on the big island. It seems kind of weird to hear that when you are sitting on the beach in your swim suit.

    Ice Age Now

    "Robert Felix talks about the increasing extreme weather, and possible signs of an ice age ahead. Extremes in climate, both hot and cold, are a hallmark of an ice age, as well as increased volcanic activity which we're starting to see. He also cites a predictive formula known as the Milankovitch Cycles, which he believes shows we're due for an ice age. "

    It sure seems like there have been extremes in precipitation (storms) around the world. That flooding in Australia looks biblical.
