Barely got snow in Oklahoma. Problem is I work in Chicago. I was able to make it out on Friday, and I have to be back tomorrow for work. I wonder if I'm going to make it...

Put the daily junk mail in the recycling bin and get your news from a worthwhile source. You're citing a tabloid.

The growth is basically a dead cat bounce. The 2.38 million km^2 growth is at the end of the graph, another "recovery!".

I don't mean to be rude and I understand dailymail may not have been the "best" source, but you are sourcing "skepticalscience.com". Washington times did a smiliar piece to the daily mail. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...high-saturday/

Washingtonpost eh? The site that praised Skeptical Science?
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/cap..._push_bac.html

Entire websites have been created to counter skeptic arguments, the most prominent and detailed of which is Skepticalscience, which has even developed a neat iPhone App (the skeptics have one too

And really:

Skeptical Science has become a well-known resource for people seeking to understand or debate climate change, and has been praised for its straightforwardness.[15] Marine biologist Ove Hoegh-Guldberg has described it as "the most prominent knowledge-based website dealing with climate change in the world",[16] and The Washington Post has praised it as the "most prominent and detailed" website to counter arguments by global warming skeptics.[17] In September 2011, the site won the 2011 Eureka Prize from the Australian Museum in the category of Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge.[18]
Cook is trained as a solar physicist and says he is motivated by his Christian beliefs.[19] He is one of a number of Christians publicly arguing for scientific findings on anthropogenic global warming, and is an evangelical Christian.[20]

Skeptical Science is affiliated with no political, business, or charitable entity.[21] The site does not contain banner ads and is funded entirely by Cook himself, with reader donations.[1] All regular and guest authors contribute strictly voluntarily.

Quite a lot more convincing than your average newspaper.

Bad news ppl = if you driving tonight or tomorrow?

BUFFALO, NY-- Due to the weather forecast, officials have closed parts of the NYS Thruway.

Governor Cuomo issued the order Monday afternoon.

The Thruway between Exit 55 (Route 219/Lackawanna/Springville/Orchard Park/West Seneca) and Exit 61 (Shortman Road, Ripley) will be closed to commercial vehicles.

All vehicles traveling westbound on the Thruway will be detoured off the roadway at Exit 50 (I-290 west), and all eastbound traffic will be detoured off at Exit 61 (Shortman Road, Ripley).

The NYS DOT has also closed Routes 219 and 400 due to the weather conditions.

"In anticipation of major snowfall and, at times, zero visibility, I have directed the Thruway Authority to close down parts of the Thruway in Western New York for safety concerns," said Governor Cuomo. "In addition, all New Yorkers in the area should exercise extreme caution if they have to leave their homes or travel anywhere. These precautions are done to ensure the safety of motorists, and I urge Western New Yorkers to monitor the weather and follow any instructions issued by emergency officials."

"As always, our top priority is motorist safety, and current conditions and forecasts warrant the Thruway's closure between the Buffalo area and the Pennsylvania state line later today. Thruway snow removal crews will be working throughout the storm and our goal is to reopen the roadway as soon as conditions allow," said Thruway Authority Executive Director Thomas J. Madison. "We are detouring motorists south from the Rochester area and west on I-86 because these roadway are expected to be less severely impacted by the storm, but we urge all drivers to use extreme caution at all times during the storm."

Officials are taking the precautionary measure due to an extraordinary winter weather event that is forecast to include 36 inches of snow from now until Wednesday, with lake effect snows in some areas up to four inches per hour, wind gusts up to 40 mph and wind chill temperatures as low as 40 degrees below zero. The Thruway in this area will be reopened when conditions allow.

Motorists to Pennsylvania and points west should exit the Thruway at exit 46 (Henrietta) to I-390 southbound and then to I-86 westbound into Pennsylvania. Eastbound travelers in Pennsylvania should exit at I-86 eastbound and then continue north on I-390 to the Thruway in Henrietta.

In the meanwhile, it's basically spring in Europe (13°C today in Belgium). Haven't had any snow yet this season.

[Tradewind]

drop a little snow and everybody starts losing their minds!!

The whole world has gone Toronto.

[Masark]

FTFY.

Though I really have to find an empty parking lot after the first major snowfall of a winter and get back into practise before I can winterdrive properly.

[Nathiest]

Minus 50-60 degrees below freezing. How do you live, how do you live?

It's 40+ degrees outside here in Texas and damn I'm so cold. Minus 60? I'd die.

[Bakis]

Kinda blow major donkey ass when people die from cold.
I hope people people stay safe.
Where I live up in the "northern" Europe we have a mild winter.
Not a single snowflake, kind of a bummer

[Zavri]

Can't tell if the OP is being sarcastic or not, 4-6 inches is laughable and routine in any area that gets regular snow in the winter.

[Tradewind]

Yeah some areas even get like 8.5" on a regular basis and they're totally cool with it.

wouldnt 60 below freezing be -28F or are you mixing it up with C?

[belfpala]

Well is *official* this is the worst snow storm hit the NE

Here in Buffalo is a NIGHTMARE we must have about 4-6inch and we going to get more on friday

... it was as low as -65 F here (with wind chill) the last couple days. It snows up to 30 inches at a time here sometimes. 6 inches would not stop anyone from doing anything. If you're in Buffalo, you should know that; you get more snow than where I live.

Oh. I just noticed who the OP was.

Wind chill. It's a bitch. (Also, F and C are equal at -40, so there's no way anyone was mixing it up.)

[schwarzkopf]

Meanwhile in AU, just came out of +50C temps in many places.

Talking about 40Degrees and saying its cold means the person is speaking about degrees Farenheit, then saying the temperature was 60 degrees below freezing means the temperature was 32 F- 60F = - 28 F saying that -60F is exactly equal to -28 F is absolutely wrong or the person mixed up C and F and used C's water freezing point as the point of reference instead of F's.
