Snow along the Gulf Coast tonight. Winter started December 1st (actual winter, not that solstice crap) and here it comes (it's already been nasty damp humid cold out - 2 days ago I was in shorts and it was 80F!).
Some people are on the CLIMATE CHANGE! wagon. They seem to not understand that it occasionally snows along the Gulf Coast and very rarely as far south as Fort Lauderdale (1977).
And then there are the Polar Vortex people. Everytime it gets cold now they say POLAR VORTEX and talk about past ones as if they survived a hurricane. It used to be simply called 'arctic air' or 'arctic blast' or 'Alberta Clipper' but a few years ago someone said 'polar vortex' and now it's the rage - even though, as far back as anyone could find recorded temperatures, blasts of arctic air have always been because of the polar vortex breaking apart.
There was one this fall, when the NE part of the US cooled down. For some reason no one was shouting about it being a polar vortex.
It's amazing how with all the technology there is now there's all kinds of new ways for stupid to get stupider.
