One year ago the temp reached 100F.

Today was a struggle to reach the high 60F's.

A Spring winter storm, more like a late Winter storm is coming in off
the
Pacific.

The ski resorts are loving it, they expect to be open at least thru
June.

Have you considered what that wood fire will contribute to Global
Warming?
;-)

If anything, the particulate matter in the wood smoke will cool the
planet.

As for CO2, there is no net gain in CO2 from burning firewood, since the
CO2 in the firewood was recently (within a few decades, usually) in the
atmosphere. Firewood is 'carbon neutral', unlike fossil fuels like coal
and oil.

Crikey, Scott. BUY a braincell.

Or rent a humor gene ...

I love these "carbon neutral" statements about the forms of heating
which put out up to 400 times the pollution/CO2 than other forms do.
Have you ever seen a quiet valley where there are a dozen home fires
going? It's inundated with smoke so your visibility is cut to the
next house, if you're close enough. I've driven through Merlin, OR
and wondered about the dense fog until I got past the ONE fireplace
which had smoked out the entire freakin' town! I drove through several
miles of it and could smell the smoke, but couldn't see any fireplaces
until then. Two of my neighbors have pellet stoves, and even they're
nasty when you're standing downwind of 'em. Uckfay Oodway Iresfay.

I stand by my statement that burning wood is carbon neutral. Look it up.

Of course you do, Scott. And you'd bet your Birkenstocks on it,
wouldn't you?

What's a birkenstock?

A few minutes of googling would quickly determine that I've no
sympathy for the AGW'ers.

I don't gamble. So, you're incorrect on every point.
