Gilligann: THIS IS PROOF THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE!

THIS IS PROOF THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS TRUE!

People probably think that all of Arizona is hot, because of Phoenix; not so.

Where's your god now?

SEE, FLAGSTAFF ARIZONA IS A FLAT AND UNFORGIVING DESERT. EVERY SQUARE INCH. AND SINCE IT IS AT THE SAME LATITUDE AS FLORIDA, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS WHARGARBLE

/cap lock, because i care.

Cyberluddite: Flagstaff is at an elevation of around 7000 feet. It gets quite a bit of snow most winters. How is this news?

I never knew that until now, so it's news to me.

But each of them probably got more than Vancouver.

Came to say this

In the summer of '72, they had a locust invasion. That was cool.

If they're lucky it'll run the illegals off.

ultraholland: cue the warmgarbl

I prefer Garblwarming

My buddy in Flagshaft, poverty with a view, is always mentioning the snow they are getting a couple days at a time. His place has piles of snow taller than his fencing with no room to move it anywhere all over town.
He thinks it is only double the past 10 years normal rate. I spose I could say the same in my area. have had more snow before is normal as well, but no one is writing any headlines.

japles: If they're lucky it'll run the illegals off.

but what if they somehow adapt? Then we'll be stuck with super illegals; damn near impossible to eradicate.

Or, you know, you could say "Anchorage and Buffalo have gotten a bit less than normal snowfall this year, while Flagstaff has gotten a bit more than normal," and avoid all the Chicken Little bullshiat.

\ Anchorage average = 70 inches
\\ Buffalo average = 93
\\\ Flagstaff average = 100
\\\\ Polluting the planet is still bad
| Won't someone think of the trees?

Ugh. I hate Flagstaff.

Get stuck there every time we travel in any weather that might even remotely have a chance of possibly snowing just a little bit.

One year it was on fire. We still got stuck. Stick that in your global-warming pipe and smoke it.

Definately one of the wetter winters in my 15 years here in flagstaff... wouldn't trade our summers for anything though!!!

Global warming?? No, this is something that's happened on earth for many, many moons. The slowing of equatorial winds (known as El Nino) is sending all the moisture to the southern states of US. When equatorial winds speed up (La Nina), all the moisture heads for northern North America.

Arizona Snowbowl, 7 miles from Flagstaff, is a ski resort that has been open every year since 1938. It's peaks go to 11,500 feet.

The roads in north Arizona near the Grand Canyon are often closed during the winter to anyone that doesn't have 4WD and chains.

This isn't news. It's a geography lesson.

wont all that snow help your water supply issues out there a little bit? Or will Las Vegas try to siphon it off. I have friends out there who tell me how Las Vegas thinks they need all the water west of the Mississippi

Just stay the fark out of San Diego you goddamn Zonies.

The first time I visited the Grand Canyon, at age 40, I expected it to be surrounded by cactus and adobe.

Now I know the south rim is a pine forest at 8,000 ft. It was snowing in April.

Actually, things like this prove global warming even further. It's just the alleged 'scientists' have not given it a proper theory.

Here's the reason why "cold" in normal hot areas means "warming".

The polar caps are warming; or getting warmer via thin atmosphere/cow farts/-insert your theory here- not matter how solar radiation is getting in, and the warming of the ice via the suns radiation causes 'warm' air to rise off the ice into a normally sub zero sky.

When this warm air rises; warm air takes more 'space' than cold btw, the cold air is displaced and forced downward.

Hot rises, cold falls.

The displaced cold air then moves from the polar caps, towards the equator; middle of the earth that is normally warm, UNDER the warm air that is normally there.

That 'cold' front pushes; displaces, the warm air; which moves towards to polar caps with it's buddies, and poof.

Snow in the desert. I am not a scientist, however this is all that makes sense. IMHO

Your theories are welcomed.

p.s. DOn't get me wrong, the 'global warming' hype is nothing but a money cow, but the earth is changing.

Last month if you count the tall mountains in Hawai'i, there was snow on the ground in all 50 States for the first time in history.

Also, it was colder in Texas than the warmest part of Antarctica.

Does this prove global warming is a hoax? No, it only proves weather follows random patterns, and if you roll the dice often enough you will get "boxcars" 3 times in a row, or "snake eyes" a comparable number of times, with random numbers the rest.

What it proves more than anything else is, people should not jump to conclusions about things they do not understand, or fall for an unproven hypothesis just because the speaker is glib and has good film clips.

There are palm trees thriving in Portland, Oregon.

Wheeeeee!

I posted this "news" about a week ago with a headline something like:

[ironic] Now that artificial snowmaking has been okayed by the Supreme Court, guess which city has more snow than Buffalo, NY?

It's almost as if those cities have exchanged climates or something like that. There's probably a more succinct way to say that.

We got more snow on the east coast than we've had in recorded history. The Great Lakes (due to the weather patterns which brought us the snow) got less. It all balances out.

/weather is not climate.

This winter has been miserable. Atleast it's beautiful and sunny today.

The Earth is Changing? No way never. That would never happen. But what do I know I just a southern living Pangaean.

A couple of drunken, native hobos were telling me before winter that the San Francisco peaks were going to have an incredible amount of snow because Snowbowl got the approval to use artificial snow.
/Lucky coincidence
//Refuses to give indian spirits credit

IAmRight: But what's fun is taking the 2 hour or so drive from Flagstaff to Phoenix.

You could always fly.

/bet you'll fly all the way to the scene of the crash
//and beat the paramedics by half an hour.

But it's a dry heat here in arizona!

More importantly, none of it fell on me. Life is good without snow.
