A couple of years ago, I was golfing with a guy who's a climate denier (golf draws people like them). When he brought it up I said, "When I was in college in the 70's I was seeing articles and papers published by scientists predicting the horrible things that would happen if we continued developing fossil fuel usage. The odd thing is that things are occurring EXACTLY the way they predicted." He said nothing.
with a whopper of a storm that put a strain on us
but no problem, it just went away.
Things became a day to day wonder of
cold, warmer, colder, warm, snow, ice and on and on.
Being in Michigan I've grown used to snow on the ground
mid-December to mid-March not this intermittent tease.
That leaves us no opportunity for skiing.
Then to finish January we were slammed with five days
of continuous snowfall.
Street crews couldn't couldn't keep up,
2" studded snow tires wouldn't cut it.
It took more than a week to carve paths out of the street.
Then, two feet of snow went away,
we started seeing grass peek through the snow.
I took the studded tires off the Brompton
and got out the springtime bikes early. I'm being optimistic,
the weather might be screwed up,
but it looks like an early spring.
Maybe it's not climate change, but I hear
that armadillos have migrated north into Indiana.
