#1 Austin used to have droughts all the time back when I lived there, and we didn't have any global warming, nor did we bow down to anyone.

#3 First Coast of Florida under High Red Alert for fires. Dry as a bone. No smoking on the golf courses. One day shorts and T's the next day get your downhill racer clothes on. Where is Gore? Did he see his shadow?

#4 On the other hand, it's raining cats and dogs in Israeli coastal plain---cold too (do you suppose Algore is on a secret visit to Israel?).

#5 We haven't had any significant rain/snow in Colorado yet this year. I doubt we've had a half-inch of moisture in Colorado Springs since the beginning of the year. Another drought zone...

#6 We got three inches of snow here in the Montgomery Alabama area, not exactly unheard of, but damn rare.

#8 Drought is over in southern California. We've already exceed our average yearly rainfall and the rainy season isn't over yet. But they're still talking about rationing water this summer and encouraging us to rat on our neighbors if they water their lawns too often.

#9 Aquafers aren't replenished, EU. That will take a couple good years of rain at a minimum.

#10 Aquifers need thousands of years of rain to replenish what California has drunk in the last century. When I visited my cousin in Palm Springs ten years ago, I decided that golf courses in that terrain were obscenities.

Trying to prepare our assorted international student friends for a Wisconsin winter has been interesting. The Senegalese were shivering in September already: cold in Senegal is 65F. Most of the Chinese have seen cold, but not this much snow.
