He has caused the climate of the country to change with his election because the Hysterical Howling Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Freaks are expelling so much CO2 and hot air that it has affected weather patterns and disrupted The Jet Stream. Were're in for at least 4 years of Climate Chaos and deplorable weather. If those creeps would just STFU, the weather might settle down. Hummm, perhaps culling them from the population.....

There was a house around here that had sort of an ice sculpture every year. He built a framework about 15' high and sprayed it with a lawn sprinkler. It didn't look like anything but a formless tower of ice. I suppose everybody needs a hobby in the winter. |

We got lucky this year and only had a dusting of snow that didn't last very long, but we did have some below freezing temps for a few days off and on. We've had a false spring and plants are in mid-bloom, and now we've had another hard freeze. Guess all the bugs in the garden will get killed off before real spring shows up. At least I'm hoping that happens! -- Maggie |

That's 4" where it didn't drift much higher. Now multiple that by 3 driveways, 3 walkways, etc. |

It is on the beach and blocks the other house. This is a fairly common happening to docks and such right on the water. The spray does not carry very far, maybe 15 or 20 feet. See how one side is covered? http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jense...m/2008/frozen/ Same thing happened to a house on our street. My brother and I cleared a couple of parking spots after a snowfall. There is another 200 feet of potential parking. A lady from around the corner parked in front of out house though. The next day her car was covered with a coating of ice. No other car on the street had it. I wonder what caused it. |

You don't take a spot that someone cleared because you are too lazy to do your own. People in big cities have been killed over parking spots.

She parked next to a lawn that still had active irrigation sprinklers runnin'. Or a water hose sprang a leak in the dead of night. |
