Dreaming of a White December 4th

This is interesting. Watch this short video (not able to embed) from the good guys at AccuWeather and early in the segment they show a map that illustrates the "historical chance of a white Christmas" for the entire continental U.S.

I guess they should have asked about their chances for snow in the nation's 4th-largest city on December 4th. Of course this is not evidence that discredits global warming trends. After all, it's only a local event, and localized phenomena are only capable of proving global warming, not disproving it.

Snow anytime every ten years or so...never in early december.
I laughed with friends yesterday..."AlGore, eat your heart out."

Not only did it snow in Houston, it snowed from there to Baton Rouge -- coating our palm fronds in frozen white mush. The three important parts are:
1. It was the earliest recorded snowfall in the region's near 500 year history, and
2. last year's snow was the earliest in history, until this year, and
3. It was the first time ever that it snowed two years in a row. That's, um, unprecedented.
There is no clearer sign of global warming than two years of record breaking snow in the subtropics. Our local paper had not a word about the rather odd reality. Nor about climate gate. Nor about where I can buy winter gear. Nor about how to clear snow from palm trees. Such a news source it is.
