I've completely changed my mind on global warming
Now, after suffering through my third blizzard in as many weeks, I'm ready to say:

BRING IT ON!

Global warming can't happen soon enough for me. I didn't leave the crappy whether of a Rochester, NY and come to Colorado to suffer through the same sort of Winter's I grew up with. I want my nice weather back! Who took it? Fess up San Diego, did you steal it? Miami? BTW, I am aware of the fact that global warming does not necessarily mean less snow--I'm just bitching about having to wake up and couple hours early to dig out the cars in order to get to work on time...

1. My best friend lives in Rochester
Was 57 degrees there yesterday, they've had ONE inch of snow this winter. He was hoping to move here two years ago to get away from winter, but has postponed it yet again.

2. I hate to say it, but what you're seeing IS global warming.
Home experiment: Watch a cold pot of water. Nothing happens, right? Now put that pan on low heat. Eventually, you'll see some little bubbles rising straight up from the sides of the pan. Turn the heat way up. Now the water is very agitated and mixing itself. Add heat to the atmosphere and you'll see a lot of mixing which means warm air for the East and cold air for the West plus a lot of moisture from the South for both!

3. I'd prefer a small ice age myself
But I like the colder weather.

4. This is getting a bit ridiculous.
My street was finally looking like a few more warm days and the ruts would go away. Now they're back with a vengeance. My car was getting thrown around by them yesterday and now I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to the store.....I may have to walk.
