No Kidding: Snow on Sunday!
What’s worse than the snow is the below freezing temperatures that are expected to accompany it

Start cursing the weather gods, Chicago.

Snow could be coming to town as early as this weekend.
That’s right, snow. Flurries and flakes.

The forecast says that Saturday night rain will turn into the white stuff early Sunday morning.

If the snow sticks, it would be the earliest recorded measurable snowfall in Chicago. The record was set just three years ago when it snowed on Oct. 12.
But it won’t be a complete anomaly – Chicagoans are used to strange, disappointing weather.

Chicago has played host to October snowstorms before. Back in 1989 we got hit with 6.3 inches for the month.

What’s worse than the snow is the below freezing temperatures that are expected to accompany it.

Global cooling happened last year. They now call it GLOBAL WEATHER CHANGE because they blame that on CO2 too...

I love how whenever there is a discrepency in the weather, people freak out. Have you ever looked at some of the weather 100 years ago? 200? Yea, believe it or not, they actually had bad storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. People of this age have to go through it one time in their life, and they act as though it's the worse in history. Do you realize that we are but a dot in the history of the human race? Alot of weather comes and goes.. not everything apocalyptic is happening only during your lifetime. Chilllax...

"Scientists" and "Prophets" and "Sorcerers" have been exploiting the unpredictable nature of weather since we threw stones to hunt for our food..

In the 70's it was global cooling, in the 80's it was global warming, in the 90's it was "YOU CAUSE BAD WEATHER". Now those that have no critical thinking skills and refuse to question authority are brainwashed into beliveing that the weather should be predictable and steady forever and when it snows early or late its caused by cows farting..

This is my hell...

How are you supposed to actually have intellegent conversations ith anyone at all when you have to deal with the Global Warming nutjobs totally giving you a bad name..

CLIMATE Change is a fact.. Weather patterns are changing, Water is drying up, The Ice caps ARE melting and will result in huge problems in the future..

All logical and meaningful issues to discuss.. But not going to happen when you're being sabataged by your own left side..

It's like people on the right who have a very real arguement against the spending policies and overall economic theory, but your being drown out by the "Obama is Hitler!!" idiots...

/sigh

..........CLIMATE Change is a fact.. Weather patterns are changing, Water is drying up, The Ice caps ARE melting and will result in huge problems in the future.......

Weather patterns aren't changing, this has happened repeatily on earth. It's a larger pattern not just the few years that man has lived here. There was a time when you didn't need a bridge to get to manhattan because it was always frozen! Montana was a rain forest! Ice caps have melted more than a few times.. Huge problems in the future? Not unless you're afraid to move to better climates. Nothing is going to stop or create an ice age or a desert age..

Check out Joe Bastardi at Accuweather. He's a weather history guru and has seen it ALL before

The climate is changing. Man has nothing to do with it, and there's nothing we can do about it except adapt.

Unfortunately, we have become terrible at adaptation. Nothing can ever change, and when it does, it's a crisis. The world must never change. Blah blah blah...

People on both side of this stupid argument need to just get over themselves already and find something substantive to argue about. We can't change the weather/climate. There is no credible evidence that we can. There has never been. There never will be. Because, we can't do it. Our variable coefficient is infinitesimally small in the huge system of equations that govern everything.

Done, done, and done.

The individual is highly adaptable. It's society that resists change.

I was gonna jump on this till I read the part about it not being that uncommon for Chicago to have october snows....maybe they'll lead by example and shut off all the dirty fossil fuels and only run their city on clean renewable sources during this cold snap

climate change does happen, it's been happening since the earth started orbiting the sun...people just wanna feel important and think that they're causing it...they're afraid to admit that they're no more significant than roaches in the global picture
