Today In The USA

Not really.
We were just kidding.

But none the less, it is cold, damned cold, over most of the United States this Easter weekend. Probably cold enough to freeze lots of Easter eggs, if not Easter Bunnies themselves.

In Washington, D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival events are going on as planned this weekend in spite of the fact that the cherry blossoms are covered in snow.

In Cleveland, for the second day in a row, a baseball game between the Cleveland Indians and Seattle Mariners has been postponed due to snow and cold weather.

It snowed in Atlanta, Georgia which had its lowest temperatures for the date in 100 years.

While over in Augusta, Georgia the players in the Masters GolF Tournament started the day with temps in the low forties and a cold north wind of 15 mph and were more interested in the 72 degrees of the clubhouse than a par 72 on the golf course. Most reportedly finished the round without frostbite, but with scores a lot higher than the temperature.

Read it at Easter Weekend Brings Snow And Chills and think of how much colder it would be were it not for Al Gore and his ‘global warming thingie’…

If Al Gore had a clue about the grief that would come along with his Oscar he might have told them “no thanks”.

As if word of his $30,000 a-year home energy bill, five times the national average, was not bad enough, now real atmospheric scientists are getting on his case for his fear mongering.

The most recent being Dr. William Gray, an emeritus professor at the atmospheric science department at Colorado State University who calls Gore “a gross alarmist”.

“He’s one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things. I think he’s doing a great disservice and he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Dr. William Gray said in an interview with The Associated Press at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans, where he delivered the closing speech.

First it was the winter of 2006-2007 that made a mockery of global warming.

Now, the spring of 2007 is not making life any easier for Al Gore and his Cult of Global Warming as in large portions of the United States the Easter Bunny is going to be in danger of freezing his nuts off.

Parts of the upper Northeast are slogging through over a foot of snow which closed schools, tangled traffic and knocked out power to more than 180,000 homes and businesses.

Frost and freeze warnings are in effect for the next few nights throughout much of the Southeast, while the snow continues to pile up across portions of the Great Lakes and the Northeast, which has seen more snow so far this April than what fell over the entire month of December.

Now, Al would you tell us again about how hot it’s getting…
