Northeast Blizzard Buries Washington DC in Snow


By Douglas V. Gibbs

Last night I was speaking with John Wohlstetter on Political Pistachio Radio, and as a Washington DC resident he was telling me about the thirty inches of snow his region was expecting. I asked him, "So what you are saying is over the weekend you will be shoveling two and a half feet of nice white fluffy man-made global warming from your driveway."

The blizzard striking the American East Coast is producing heavy snow and powerful winds. The storm is bringing the heaviest snowfall in 90 years to Washington DC.

In Virginia the storm has become a killer storm, having killed two people when a big rig struck them when they stopped to help a stranded motorist.

Power outages have also been reported, affecting 210,000 homes in the Washington area. Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia each declared snow emergencies, enabling the regions to activate emergency agencies, including the National Guard, to help deal with the onslaught of snow and high winds.

Once the storm passes, the Eastern United States is expecting colder than normal air to move in, creating icy conditions.

The followers of the myth of man-made global warming are claiming that the cold weather is all a part of the warming of the planet.

Using their reasoning I am still waiting for ice cubes to pop out of my furnace.

Most tragic, however, is that we are receiving reports that members of Congress are having trouble getting to work!

The horrible tragedy of it all!
