I'm amazed at how few people still make these, I'm not sure if its lazy kids or lazy parents that won't get out there and help their kids.

I have family who were flying home from a Cancun vacation and are stuck at DFW.....probably for a few days. Kinda crappy way to have to leave the 85 degree beach!

Sounds like you guys are ready to join the Big ten snowpits.

I could go for a little global warming in Iowa right now.

The record snows are caused by global warming.

Of course Iowa would have a really cold and really snowy winter because of the global warming. What was I thinking. I just wish global warming would do it's job and get Iowa an extra say 5 degrees over normal in winter.

I was in Irving last weekend. the temperature was about 38. People were all whining about how cold it was. I told them 38 was practically skinny dipping weather.

Yes, and everything is caused by global warming. When it was cool and wet this past summer, that was caused by global warming. When it is downright frigid and we are breaking record snow fall totals, that is caused by global warming. And, yes, when the global temperature fall for nearly a decade (as they have according to NASA sattelite readings), that once again is caused by global warming.

I just heard that a large pack of birds who were on their way back north from their winter homes stopped off in Tennessee and pooped on Al Gore's house!

Change in migratory patterns...you guessed it...caused by global warming.

I moved to Metroplex recently and it is funny to hear people complain about the 'actic blasts'. I just smile ... knowing the truth of what a real winter looks like!

No kidding. It got down to 19 degrees for two nights and you would have thought an annoucement about the world ending was confirmed. I just shake my head and laugh.
