This is unreal! I got up at 7am to find about 1/4 inch of sleet on the
ground. Now we've got almost five inches of snow. What a surprise!

I had to make an emergency trip to the store to get the fixin's for chili.

Well, the hummingbirds haven't made it across the Gulf yet, but in another
week or two.

For the past several years I've been following their northward migration.
Silly, I know, but it makes me feel warmer.

We have them all winter.

Key word, thermohaline currents.

Rush Limbaugh and a few others have been hooting and scratching every
time there's been a blast of cold weather this winter, rushing to
denounce any evidence of climate change. In fact, the diminishing ice
at the poles disrupts some of the currents that have moderated winter
weather throughout much of the northern hemisphere throughout the
realatively brief instant when there has been human civilization on
this planet. Severe winters are part of a global warming scenario,
offset by more extreme summers. It's the average temeprature, not the
daily temperature, that's important.

Ramifications for boaters: climate change, (whether man-made or not),
will alter the nature of fish in various waters, possibly decrease the
number of fish in some, change the types of sea life we observe when
boating, make the water warm enough to swim in previously frigid
areas, and generally have a profound impact on the entire aquatic
ecosystem. If climate change continues at its present pace, our
grandkids will be experiencing vastly different boating conditions
than we do now. And of course there's Florida, a major boating center
in the US- under some models a lot of Florida will simply disappear.

And here's another interesting site with an article on the same subject
matter. I don't listen to Rush as much as you do, so I don't know what he's
saying. You are correct that climate change will affect boaters.

The guy what writ the line in da first place wood diss-agree:

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
"Henry V" (5.3.44-51)
William Shakespeare
