#1 Have results that match the Climate Weather Models**? (**Note: the one model that accidentally matches doesn't count!)

#2 The results you talk about, magpie, occur in the physical world - computer model builders (monkeys with a supper stick) are not responsible for the real world.

#4 I read someplace that the cold weather was a result of the polar vortex being disturbed by hot Moroccan air from the south. Prolly warmed by camel methane.

#7 A bunch of us older fellas were discussing how we handled the extremely chilly weather (I remember my Dad saying -38 once, and we weren't warned about wind chill 24/7) when we were kids.

We wore double-socks, wore bundled snowsuits and scarves reminiscent of Ralphie's in 'A Christmas Story' and didn't go outside for recess. Since we walked everywhere anyway, we weren't concerned if Mom's car didn't start.

#8 Back around 1956 I was in grade school and classes closed early due to an unexpected extremely heavy snow fall. I had ridden my bike to school that morning on dry streets. That afternoon I pushed my bike home through knee deep snow. Visibility was barely adequate, but I could see my way along the streets for the 1.25 miles to home. My mother was enraged when she learned we were sent home early. She hadn't been told to expect us. If the visibility had worsened, I might not be here to tell this tale. I suspect death tolls for cold weather were not as well publicized as they are now.

#9 In my San Diego childhood, I remember the Cold Snap of '67™. We had to walk through the snow uphill both ways, wrapping our feat in bread bags, and wrapping them in barbed wire for traction. I died

Oh, wait. I had to wear a coat. That's all.

yes, I'm a dick
