Snoqualmie Pass is getting snow today. Probably not so much that I can't make it home on Friday but of interest because its so unusual for this time of year. It is snowing in Moscow Idaho (my home) and the Boomershoot site too. Maybe I should schedule Boomershoot 2009 for July 4th so the snow will be light enough the roads will be plowed and people can make it without snowmobiles.
Crank up those coal fired power plants and rev the engines in your trucks while waiting at traffic lights--we need to head off the next ice age.
Either Al Gore has crap for brains and/or his motivation is solely for political gain.

This could mean certain types of crops in the area will be killed by the cold.
Something the global warming doomsday people ignore is that, typically, farm yields are better with abnormally warm weather than abnormally cold weather. Hence to be on the safe side of things we should try to push things in the direction of excess heating rather than risk excess cooling.
