White (After) Christmas
Airlines in Denver are canceling flights due to the excessive snow. Up to 20 inches is expected in this next wave.
DENVER - United Airlines, still recovering from weekend storms in the Midwest, canceled dozens more flights Thursday as the second winter storm since Christmas threatened to pile 20 inches of new snow on Colorado.
Up to 8 inches of new snow was expected in Denver, which set a record for its snowiest Christmas with the nearly 8 inches that fell Tuesday.
United, the largest carrier at Denver International Airport, scrapped 66 flights — about 16 percent of its daily schedule at its second-largest hub — to help prevent planes passing through Denver from being stranded there, spokeswoman Robin Urbanski said.
It marked the fourth straight day that United had canceled flights. The Chicago-based carrier grounded fewer than 5 percent of its 3,300 flights worldwide Wednesday as it moved crews to deal with schedules disrupted days earlier when bad weather hit O'Hare International Airport.
Denver, in fact, set a Christmas Day snowfall record. Boston lacks one inch of setting their all time record for snowiest December. Salt Lake City is on track to obliterate their all-time December record of 35.2 inches with 27.2 inches already on the ground and heavy snow predicted right through the end of the year.
The fog just lifted where I live, but left calling cards everywhere. It does that when it is 10 degrees.
Al Gore left office in 2000 with an estimated $1 million in the bank. ABC News reports he is now worth $100 million - at least. He'll be able to afford to heat his home. Er, homes.

Cal Thomas has a piece in thew Wash Times titled “The Hot Air Cult”. In it he reports that $50 billion has been spent trying to prove Global Warming since 1990, and there is STILL no proof that man is at fault. $50 Billion. A jaw dropping number. As for that storm that is coming out of the Rockies….sigh.

Interesting sci fi novel “Fallen Angels” written in 1991 captures the insanity of those who believe in Global Warming…set in the future where half of North America is under ice yet most of the remaining people still feared Global Warming and had banned almost everything to do with modern technology, oil and electricity.
That said, what Al Gore spends in one month to heat just one of his indoor swimming pools is what I spend over seven months just to have electricity in my 20 by 20 apt.
