#2 Earliest snow in 29 years in lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania. 9,000 homes without power last night. Lots of tree damage because the leaves hadn't fallen yet and accumulated the additional load of the ice and snow plus wind.

#3 I had a PT test in it!!!!

I'm sure you passed easily, ARMY GUY, so you won't have to do it again quite so soon. Have fun, dear, and make us proud!

#4 It was 30 degrees in east Tennessee last night. Had the fireplace going up until about midnight. I've got a lot of firewood that I've cut and split that helps cope with rate increases. Cutting and splitting firewood is a lot like work. Screw my carbon footprint--I would like to put it places where the light don't shine with regards to the global warming goofballs.

#5 Well here's your problem, John:
"Former Vice President Al Gore last night accepted the National Civil Rights Museum's annual Freedom Award in Memphis."

You're lucky it wasn't colder.

#6 John, it was cold out side of Fall Branch (East Tennessee), too. Firewood warms you twice. Once while splitting and again while burning. I heat with a wood stove in the kitchen. I filled the propane tank back in September. 723 bucks, so I'm gonna be a bitt cooler this winter than past. We had snow Monday night and on and off yesterday.

#8 Several inches of snow has fallen here & there in NE OH. My tomatoes and peppers still haven't been frostbitten, yet particles of sleet are falling.

#9 IIRC, REDDIT [old] > SCIENCEDAILY - GLOBAL WARMING PLANET SURVIVAL GUIDE.

Presuming that nothing catastrophic occurs to Earth beforehand, it seems Humanity only has approxi 1.1 Bilyuhn years, not 5.0B-plus, before the GLOBAL WARMING = THE SUN CAUSES THE EARTH TO GET SO HOT AS TO WIPE OUT ANY AND ALL HUMAN AND BIOTIC LIFE, besides also boiling the oceans and the atmosphere. Hopefully, by that time, Humanity will had developed a SUPERMASSIVE SOLAR/ENERGY SAIL TO MOVE THE EARTH AWAY FROM ITS PRESENT ORBITAL TRACK IN ORDER TO SAVE IT FROM THE SOLAR HEAT???

#10 As per TOPIX + SCIENCEBLOGS, scientists have affirmed that MINI-GAMMA RAY BURSTS DO OCCUR in space.

Nice, but as per the LHC-HADRON COLIDER the MINI/MICRO-BLACK HOLES which have been appearing over Guam-WESTPAC do so not just in space, but ALSO INSIDE EARTH's ATMOSPHERE, AKA THE "GUAM-WESTPAC" IN GUAM-WESTPAC.

* "BLACK HOLES DON'T SIMPLY EVAPORATE" > well then, the HADRON PERTS have yet another new Rush Limbaugh "Frechie" problem to contemplate and resolve, don't they!?
