Falling snowflakes glimmered in streetlights, so wide that they billowed to the ground like parachutes, and so tantalizing that even awestruck adults reached out their hands or stuck out their tongues to catch one.
By Wednesday evening, the flakes were big enough to hold their shape for a moment on the street before melting into the pavement, and a dusting had collected on parked cars in some parts of town. The flurries tied a record for Houston’s earliest snowfall ever and warmed the hearts of winter weather lovers who have pined for snow since it last made an appearance on Christmas Eve 2004.
“I’ve got a pot roast in the Crock-Pot, and I’m going to go home, change into my warmest pajamas and eat pot roast and enjoy what may be the only real winter day we have all year,” said Tina Arnold, an Illinois native who took advantage of the wintry backdrop to pick up Christmas presents Wednesday at The Woodlands Mall. Since 1895, records indicate, snow has fallen this early just once — on Dec. 10, 1944. Ali Ahly had been cooped up in an office all day when he stopped to gas up his white Mercedes-Benz near the corner of Hillcroft and the Southwest Freeway at 7:30 p.m.
The 43-year-old, wearing jeans and a leather jacket, stepped out from under the gas station canopy and looked up as the downy flakes sifted toward him. Then he stretched his hand toward the sky. “This is real snow,” he said. “I feel like I’m in Lake Tahoe.”
This global warming thing is starting to sound bogus.

>>Devout atheism is just a different kind of
>>religion as far as I’m concerned.
Heh heh. Prepare for an attack from the devout Atheists. They don’t believe nothin’, and they don’t believe it with such fervor that they’ll beat you down for saying they don’t believe what they believe. You must NEVER interfere with or lampoon their fantasies of being bold and saucy, hip-and-happening, avante-garde, a little bit dangerous, existential intellectual blah blah blah. That is not allowed.
MM, you’re an ass, an offensive retard, and a believer in Al Gore’s great fallacy.
And I did all that without having to say that I’m an Atheist.

STFU.

It goes something like this:
Religious Nut Job: I believe the Earth is 6000 years old.
Reasonable Person: I think the overwhelming evidence is that the Earth is Billions of years old. What is your evidence?
Religious Nut Job: The Bible, I’m religious and I believe it. What church do you go to or don’t you believe in God?
Reasonable Person: I follow evidence where it takes me and I never believe a single source that cannot be confirmed.
Mister Mustard===well you are an atheist and you are just as religious as me!!!! wah, wah, wah!!! If I’m stupid and religious then so are you!!!

At least you’re admitting it Bobbo. That’s the first step.
Temperatures are down globally. NASA and James Hansen tried to hide it by using bad data for Russia, but again one of those amateurs busted him.
Has anyone looked at the list of temperature monitoring stations they are using worldwide? I keep seeing posts about bad stations(which they definitely are), but I wonder if this is just a select few or if this is a systemic problem.

As some posters have asserted, Global warming has noting to do with actual temperatures. It has to do with computer modeling & theories. If the computer says that there is warming it doesn’t matter what real world data shows.

No one has asserted that, Paddy-RAMBO. They have asserted that global warming has nothing to do with what the hottie in the tight sweater tells you the weather will be tomorrow.
Meteorology is not climatology. Look them up.
#71 As long as you believe is getting hot, global warming works for you. After all, A devout Chrtistian Democrat like Gore leads your thinking.
Fight your beliefs as if it was the crusades all over.

LOL!
So? Falling global temps still = no global warming. ROFL
The earth is flat,there is no Manmade Global Climate Change, Santa will bring me a new CO2 footprint in a bottle of Coke,there is no Evolution we are all made from clay in God’s kiln. Hallelujah!
31000 scientists were adamant that the sun revolved around earth which was still.
Uncle Ben PLEASE come out of the 100$ bill we need you NOW the town’s fools are taking over the Town Hall!
