A Russian friend living in Boston sent me this alarming note about Global Warming.
We are having a Russian style winter in Boston.
We had a snowfall after a snowfall.
Streets are like trenches because of the snow.
Turns are hazardous – one can not see anything behind the snow piles.
I spent the Global Cooling Winter of 1976 in Boston, and it sounds like they are having a repeat. Only this time the snow is hot, whereas in 1976 it was cold. Amazing how heat and cold can have exactly the same symptoms.
I’m 46 and have been driving for 30 years. I used to live in Western Massachusetts, and now live in Connecticut. I don’t ever before remember it being this bad to pull out of a driveway. You simply can not see over the 5 to 7 foot snowbanks. Turns are hazardous. I used to feel pretty bad about the prospect of global warming, as I enjoy snow and winter. But now that Algore says global warming means colder and snowier winters I’m all for it. I need to buy a bigger SUV and add to my CO2 footprint.

So if there is record snow this year it will be because of record global warming? Do I have that right?
