Exactly 20 years ago, the East Coast was hit by a huge blizzard similar to what is forecast this weekend. Climate experts immediately blamed it on global warming.

Four years later, experts said that children just won’t know what snow is.
Monday 20 March 2000
the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today’s anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don’t own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers.
Residents of McLean, Virginia will be astonished to be under two feet of snow Sunday morning.
After the 2010 blizzard, progressives became very angry that nature wasn’t cooperating with their scam.

Two Saturday’s ago I did my favorite bike ride up the Potomac to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. They are expecting about two feet of snow this weekend.
The New York Times and Washington Post will of course blame it on global warming. If they had a repeat of the 1888 blizzard, they would say scientists are 99% certain of the human CO2 footprint.
We are truly dealing with the stupidest people who ever lived – also known as climate experts.
The “Progressive” movement consists of liars and manipulators that know exactly what they are doing, supported by a large gullible group of people that believe they are the smart ones.
It doesn’t matter how stupid the racket is. It works like a charm. It always did.

I believe there has been a definite trend for more big snowstorms along the east coast. For example in 1958, Boston’s record snowfall over an 80 year period was 16.6″. Since 1958, that old record has been beaten at least a dozen times.
Washington, DC had no 15″ snowstorms between 1922 and 1979, but since 1979 has had 6 and is about to get its 7th.
What that has to do with global warming, beats me. The BS about warmth causing more snow does not hold water with me, because DC is usually too warm to snow.
I have read about the huge snows of the Colonial period, both in the Washington and Boston area. I imagine those were caused by excessive horse farting or George Washington eating too many Mexican beans.

Timeline of Major Florida Freezes
There were 13 hard freezes recorded in 180 years.
With five hard freezes within 12 years, I doubt the old timer citrus growers think there is Gore Bull Warming.
Maybe they do since there hasn’t been a freeze since 1989
Not Hardly!
It is just that the data at that web page ended in 1989 and the MSM doesn’t cover cold weather events beyond the local.
November 20, 2014 – 141-year-old cold record shattered in Jacksonville Florida.
For the second morning in a row, Jacksonville, Florida, dropped to a new record low. The thermometer at Jacksonville International Airport plummeted down to 27°F (-2.8 C) on Wednesday morning, breaking the old record of 28°F set in 2008. Thursday morning’s temperature dropped to a bone chilling 24°F (-4.5 C) breaking the old record of 30°F (-1.1 C)set in 1873. Thursday’s 24°F also marks the second lowest temperature ever recorded in the entire month of November.
In January 2010, parts of Florida were hit with an historic cold wave, the coldest since records began in 1873. With temperatures hovering around the freezing point, the cold destroyed millions of dollars of crops and killed at least two people. Florida waters were a full 14 degrees F (8 C) below normal. Centuries-old coral wiped out by record cold. “Some of the hardest hit corals were from the genus Montastraea — large, boulder-size corals. Many colonies were centuries old.
In the beginning of January 2014 a historic and deadly freeze locked almost the entire United States under subfreezing temperatures Tuesday, closing schools, delaying trains and buses, and forcing cancellation of more than 9,000 flights. Single-digit (Fahrenheit) temperatures (-18 to -13 C) were recorded as far south as Georgia and Alabama.
A 118-year-old record fell in Central Park in New York, where it was 5 F (-15 C), the coldest ever for Jan. 7. Temperature records were shattered in many states, including Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Michigan, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. It got so cold that a Chicago zoo had to move its polar bear and penguins inside. Hard freeze warnings for Tuesday extended all the way south to the Gulf Coast. In fact, freezing temperatures reached as far south as Florida, said Brian Korty, a National Weather Service meteorologist. There was quite a bit of power loss too.
The east coast got slammed again a few weeks later. The Deep South hunkered down on Tuesday for what could be its worst snow and ice in a generation, stretching from Texas to the Carolinas. In New Bern, North Carolina, where the last 6-inch snowfall happened in 1989, got as much as 7 inches. Schools were closed from Texas through the Florida Panhandle and up to North Carolina. The Johnson Space Center in Houston shut down for the day.
And at the end of March (March 27, 2014) Toledo, Ohio, broke a 120-year-old record. The low of 9F (-12.8C) broke the previous record of 11 F (-11.7C) set in 1894. In Detroit, Michigan, the record low of 11 F for March 26 was tied. In Macon, Georgia, the low of 26 F (-3.3C) broke the old record set most recently in 2006. Freezing temperatures dipped into the Deep South Wednesday morning, including Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and northern Florida.
January 2015 saw a couple of cold waves bringing Florida to at or below freezing. On January 10, 2015, “Snow danced over the streets of Jacksonville Thursday for the first time in five years and tied the record for the day of a trace set 57 years ago,” says News4jax.com.
On February 20, 2015 Jacksonville, Florida at 24 F again broke the record for cold. “Some locations in the Northeast are challenging their coldest February on record,” says AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
My mother lives in a part of Florida that had huge commercial orange groves until 1989. They still get freezes (mom gets lows in the teens at least once a year now), but since there are no orange groves anymore, it is not reported.
Those freezes in the 1980’s were unusually severe, literally wiped out the groves north of Orlando. Believe it or not, I used to dabble in orange juice futures and made a fair amount of money from them. Since the groves have moved south, it is not as easy as it used to be.
Gail, and especially Gator…you guys will get a kick out of this..
….at one time there was citrus as far north as South Carolina

I am not that surprised. I am in mid NC (Piedmont) and we rarely get snow. So there were decades when the coastal areas were warm enough in SC and Georgia.
The Progressive/Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Liberal philosophy is amoral, not immoral. Thus they can through a twisted perverted form of logic be 100% convinced that whatever they are saying at the moment is the absolute truth. Slick Willie, Mrs. Clinton, Algore, Hussein, Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler, Frank Roosevelt, et al, were/are the most honest people who have ever walked the earth. They are by definition incapable of lying.
The path. You must follow the one true path or you get nothing but reactionary lies.
“The sole conclusion to be drawn from the opinion of the Marxists [on] Marx’s theory” is that the sociopathic politicos have been deliberately gaslighting the Middle Class for decades in order to render them insane enough to actually want a return to serfdom.
http://pre12.deviantart.net/dac4/th/pre/f/2011/162/7/c/war_is_peace_by_bloodleach-d3im67l.png
If this were little league baseball, the gaslighting would have been ended by the mercy rule, decades ago. The return to serfdom you speak of came in 1971, when Nixon decreed that the government could arbitrarily redefine the value of the money in your pocket. Arguably, that date could be pushed back to 1933.
1984 is here. Some would say it came on time. Others would say it was a little late. But it would be futile to argue that we still haven’t achieved, and surpassed, that level of coercion. Well over 90% of the American population now carries a camera, microphone, and tracking device with them wherever they go. The government freely admits that they can turn those features on and off at will, without you knowing. Yet almost everyone still PAYS FOR THE PRIVILEGE. People lose their jobs for expressing beliefs still held by the majority, but no longer allowed by the aristocracy. Just last year, a court ruled that it’s entirely proper to take an old man’s property (a multibillion dollar basketball team) over beliefs that were mainstream just 30 years ago, expressed in an illegally recorded phone call. And for those not paying attention, the united States government has spent the last few decades working on overt mind control:
http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/darpa-wants-develop-brain-translating-device-n499866
If thoughts can be read, you can be damned well sure they can be written. And keep in mind, this is only what they’re admitting to. I’d guess we have about 20-30 years left before this technology really matures. If these brain chips are the next step in the cell phone craze, then it’s game over. If they find a way to do this remotely, it’s game over. This technology is the end of free will. Disobedience will become literally unthinkable. In the foreseeable future, it will no longer be enough to love Big Brother. We’ll be asked, then eventually forced, to invite him in to our thoughts. If you’re not THINKING anything wrong, then what are you afraid of? That’s why I’m rooting for a total economic collapse. I’d rather see us return to the dark ages, than live out what certain parts of the ruling class are openly planning for us.
“Arguably, that date could be pushed back to 1933.”
Actually Ted it was 1913. 1933 was the result of the actions made in 1913 and 1915.
1. 1913 Federal Reserve Act made American citizens responsible for the international loans made by bankers using Fractional Reserve Banking.
2. 16th Amendment allows Congress to levy a direct income tax on the public.
3. 17th Amendment moved the election of the Senate from the control of the states to popular vote. This got rid of the states check on the grow of the federal government.
4. In 1915 J.P Morgan and his buddies in the war munitions business bought up controlling interest in the major newspapers to move the country from isolationism to ‘World Policeman’ The ads by Germany notifying Americans that the Lusitania was carrying munitions and would be bombed were censored til the last minute to make sure American lives were lost and the outrage would flip the USA into World War I.
Congressman Calloway announced that the
J.P. Morgan interests bought 25 of America’s leading newspapers, and
inserted their own editors, in order to control the media.
The Lusitania, Woodrow Wilson, and the Deceptions that Dragged America into World War I
On a spring day in 1918 several government agents entered a printshop at Washington, D. C., where the original edition of [ “Why Is Your Country at War ?“ was being printed ] “Destroy all the Lindbergh plates in your plant,” they told the head of the institution. “…Not only were the plates of this book “Why Is Your Country at War ?“ destroyed, but also the plates of Congressman Lindbergh’s book “Banking and Currency,” written in 1913 and attacking the big bankers and Federal Reserve Law. So was the pat painstaking effort of months wiped out….”
And yeah, we do need to have a major reset in thinking. You may be correct. A new Dark Age would be better.

Not far away in Pittsboro NC you find the Spermicidal Corn technology ( Biolex )
http://www.fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/epicyte-contraceptive-corn/46351
Totally right about 1913. I was only referring to gold convertibility, at that point. But yes, the silent coup of 1913 was more devastating, overall. Throw in Wickard v. Filburn, the war of northern aggression, and Marbury v. Madison, which set the stage for everything that’s followed, and you start to see a pattern. About once every generation, we gat a major new step toward totalitarianism. The patriot act, and all it’s demon spawn, was the most recent. I think the next will be banning cash, probably in 5-10 years.
I’d forgotten about the spermicidal corn. Drudge has run a bunch of stories about human genetic engineering lately, too. Oh, the joys of modern science. All this stuff just makes me wonder if we really are the first global civilization on this planet. We’ve been here for at least 50,000 years. The Neanderthals, who were arguably more intelligent than us, were around for at least a quarter million years. It seems very possible that we’ve hit the reset button a few times in all those years, whether on purpose or by accident.
Ted,
Ted was a bit of a try at getting rid of cash in Obamacare. Originally ObamaCare required small business owners to file an additional 1099 form with every other business that they did more than $600 in transactions with. IF the transaction was made with a credit card it was exempt from reporting. It was aimed at cash sales between businesses. Think of motels, hotels, gas stations, Home Depot, Lowes, Sam’s Club, Costco, Staples, Office Max and the MILLIONS of additional reporting that would be necessary….
It got axed.
The other ramification of Obamacare is micro-chipping patients. No Chip no medical care….

I think the economic collapse is coming; in fact it has started.
To the list of destructive blows, you should add Northern Securities Co. v. U.S, 193 U.S. Reports 197 (1904). Believe it or not, in that case Justice White, speaking for the four dissenting justices, predicted Wickard v. Filburn
Re your final line.
I truly wish they were stupid, but alas, I don’t think they are. There motivations are far worse: cupidity trumps stupidity, and political propensity outweights mental density.

I suppose “global warming” was the reason it wasn’t the coldest.
(more CO2) => (solar energy in) > (energy radiated) => (planet warms). Ultimately it’s simple, and there really is no doubt it’s happening. It’s hard to understand why that is so difficult to accept…sigh.
Moron alert
“Ultimately it’s simple”
No, it really is not simple. Anyone who thinks it is simple is like the first grade student who thinks that all math is simple because teacher told him about subtraction and the process made sense to him.
Pardon the snark — but if anyone tells you that anything about global climate is simple, then be aware that they do not know much about climate.
John C , it ain’t simple dude.
ClimAstrologists treat the sun’s energy as constant. Since they use TSI (Total Solar Insolation) instead of looking at the variation in different wavelengths they completely blow it.
An example of JUST ONE aspect of our variable sun affecting climate.

1- List all climate forcings, order them from most to least effectual, and then quantify them all.
2- Please provide even one peer reviewed paper that refutes natural variability as the cause of recent, or any, global climate changes.
There is nothing unusual or unprecedented about our climate, or how we got here. For 4,500,000,000 years climates have always changed, naturally. This means there has been a set precedent, and the burden of proof falls on natural climate change deniers like yourself
The climate morons want is to believe that man altered the global climate 7000 years ago via farming. It is astounding what group hysteria breeds.

Climate experts are almost as funny as Bill Cosby, and as talented as Rolf Harris.
Both of whom will do some serious time.

I wonder who Bill Cosby ticked off? The elite are very good at burying crimes up to and including murder so for this to come out now means Cosby made a misstep.
I was wondering about Cosby’s stand on CAGW (didn’t find anything but a rumor) and found this instead.
National Report The latest Obama Executive Order issued to EPA Secretary Gina McCarthy calls for “corking” Old Faithful Geyser to reduce the effects of climate change.
National Report is America’s #1 independent news source. Where the ” lamestream” media leaves off, we pickup.
(And Yeah, it is satire…)
“I wonder who Bill Cosby ticked off?”
I have been expecting Bill Cosby to be hit with some kind of scandal. He had become rather vocal about about on-going problems in the black community. The left was gunning for him because he threatened the victim-hood of African Americans.

Thanks Jason, I figured as much.
What are you two trying to imply? The left would never overlook such heinous charges as
rape,

being a Klan leader,

running a brothel,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Frank#Scandal
or murder.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chappaquiddick_incident
The left holds the unquestionable moral high ground. It’s sad that you would try to demean the integrity of such fine, upstanding criminals.
Except that climate experts molest data, not women and children.
Cosby and Harris could easily get of scot free, just by saying they are muslims. !!
As hot under the collar as Mikey got at Mark Steyn, it sort of makes you wonder…

Thank God I’ll soon be moving to a more snow-shoveling friendly state.
GOOD GRIEF! That is totally absurd.
Back during the late 1970s when Rochester NY got hit with major snow storms, I went around with a shovel on my cross country skis to help the older folk dig out. The last thing I wanted was a neighbor dropping dead of a heart attack because no one helped.
It is becoming clear that our abusive Uncle Sam does not want kids to have jobs. It is so much easier to control those who have grown up never knowing responsibility or self worth.
Not only kids but anyone. Gone are the jobs like lawn mowing, gardening, baby sitting, house cleaning, taking in laundry, sewing/tailoring, ironing… The change in tax codes making the ’employer’ have to file 1099s killed the domestic help/home service business.
Heck you can’t even sell lemonade at a kiddie lemonade stand or have a homemade pie sale for church.

If the regulations and tax laws don’t kill you the darn insurance companies will. A friend had a one man office cleaning service. Another had a hack stable & hay ride business The insurance companies hiked the premiums and put both out of business. With my small business the first Insurance company I had wanted to know my gross revenue and then took 10% of the gross. In many companies, especially start-ups 10% is your net profit… IF you are lucky!
