Cold At Last, Cold At Last. Thank God Almighty...

This has been the coldest, snowiest winter we have had for quite a few years. The temperature has hovered between the single digits and high teens for most of the month of January. We have also had enough snow to choke a Morgan horse. I am not one to wear a coat unless it is super cold or I am going to be outside for more than a few minutes. I have been wearing my coat to work every day and actually appreciating that I have it on. This is from the guy who sweats when its 60 degrees.

So what is up with all of this frigid weather? I have three articles about the voodoo science of global climate change that I wold love to rip to shreds but I would rather save them for another time. Am I just getting older and feeling the cold or is this the real deal and the temperature dip is actually chilling my tootsies? The fact that I have had to use my scraper to wipe the snow off of my windows more than twice this year tells me that mother nature has more to do with this than my impending march toward retirement.

It is nice to have a real winter for once to remind people that temperature changes mean that things go from cold to warm and back to cold again. For those who live in the fantasy world of "man is to blame for everything" it should be a wake up that we do have seasons and as the world spins, so changes the weather. Whether it is an arctic cold snap, a fall hurricane, a spring tornado, or a summer drought, it is part of the cycle of life. Weather has been changing since the Earth was born. Our current 15 minutes of fame as the dominant species does not change a single solitary second of our world's past nor should we be arrogant enough to think we can so radically affect its future. Of course, the pseudo scientists want to play god and think we are. But the wackos would have to believe in God which I guess would make them narcissistic atheists. How did I manage to get here? Oh yea, its freakin' cold. Burr!
