Global warming, my a$$!  I've worn out two snow shovels in the past week.

What? I am showing my ignorance here but how can you wear out two shovels?

How do you wear out a broom? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSmSTpRUeLs

Deep heavy spring snow, the cheap shovels I buy don't hold up well.  Sunshine today- maybe even 60F.  More rain/snow next week. 

My poor fruit trees can't figure whether to bloom or hibernate.

Miser - spend money on a snow blower. it isn't as if you won't get your money's worth out of it.

...if only I could figure a way to convert my old lawnmower...

I prefer cheapskate to miser.

I wish we could get snow here.

I live in Ohio and we get plenty every year. If I could, I send you every bit of it.............Ethos

Isn't it proven that global warming will and is cooling the earth?
Here in Australia we are experiencing snow and cold weather we wouldn't expect to have for another 2-3 months.
Should we just rename it "Global Meltdown" ?
Better stock up on those snow shovels.

The southern and northern hemispheres tend to show an average temperature anti-correlation throughout the Holocene...when the NH warms, the SH tends to cool and vice versa.  The South Equatorial Current and the Antarctic Intermediate Water are two southern hemisphere surface/intermediate ocean currents that feed the Gulf Stream.  As the Gulf Stream increases in intensity, it draws warm southern hemisphere water and sends it to the north...hence the mismatched warming/cooling effect (oversimplified...but you get the idea).

Snow again today....AAARRRRRGGGGGG!

The sun has to come out one of these days??

[Chemistry4me]

Nope. We've had rain and hail for the last week!

Oh no I don't.....

DOH, and I thought it rained everyday in London.
