Last winter, McKitten told us that global warming had ruined the snow in Vermont.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

My family has owned a small piece of property in VT since 1982. In the 80’s we had winters with little or no snow. One Christmas, with no snow on the ground, we experienced weather -20 F. The lake froze over with black ice and so did the water line to our house (no snow to insulate the ground).
The cold was followed by a warm spell with freezing rain followed by mud.
Wild variations in VT winters is nothing new.. at least in my lifetime.
That was the central theme of the 1950s musical “White Christmas”
I think you could omit the “VT” from your last sentence entirely and still have an entirely accurate statement! (PS — right next door in Mass. You know what they say, if you don’t like the New England weather — just a wait a minute.)
The ironic part was my parents bought the property as we regularly skied in VT, including driving to Okemo mountain in the middle of the blizzard of 1978 (my Dad was really hard headed about using his vacation time). Late 70’s had great skiing, which convinced my Dad to buy a piece of property up there… However, in the 80’s it was a lot of ice on mud. It was during the 80’s that the resorts were forced to invest heavily in snow making equipment.
One year, out of frustration, Dad booked a trip to Colorado (can’t remember the exact year) where we were guaranteed to have good skiing. Trip got cancelled. Colorado had a freak year of almost no snow.
I wonder how McWeepy deals with his forecast failures. Surely it’s not his fault.
Not on topic but just noticed that Iceland’s left side seaway is now blocked with ice, way over normal. http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/
Also noticed an article on bloomberg.com about high temperatures on the Western ice shelf going to cause rising sea levels but cannot find it now. Maybe even they found it laughable? Is there a better place to post more general info or an mail address?
Did you see the clowns at Accuweather have now decided to endorse the view that a number of ski area, including Aspen, are at risk because of global warming.

He doesn’t make forecast to be right, he makes them to be contraversial.
I’d suspect that, like all the prophets of doom in the CAGW charade, they just deny they said it, and try to shift the goal posts. They get away woith it because most of their psycophants believe their idols can’t possibly have been wrong and don’t check back. Tragic really.
