I think this is not goign to be a popular post, or email!

Well, I hope you find the following as fascinating as I do.
It was -30 (and going more into the negative temperatures in some places)
Then we get our annual Chinook winds, some time in January/February of every year that I can remember and that is at least 35 years. they are the very warm winds, that cause so much havoc. we now have inches of water over ice, a very deadly thing.

So I have include the cold snap pictures and now some of the warm ones. oh and BTW we are having 100mph winds in some places.

this all brought to you by global warming, greed and stupidity. Next time you see a Republican or and apathetic Democrat, thank them for all of there hard work in ruining the world, and an 80 degree + weather change literally over night. No, Global Warming is not a problem. It is a disease, and folks it looks terminal.

So sit back and watch the pictures in the links I sent, read the weather report and look at some of my pictures that I took while out today.

Ask yourself, how much worse it is going to get, before we take responsibility for this mess we are all in? And thank you I have had my part in making this world this bad too.
No none is an innocent bystander in this.
