36 inches of snow on the ground, 10 degrees above zero, no wind and dead dark, and a forecast low of 3 below zero. You people on the East Coast really need to come to the middle of the country and see what the world west of the Hudson is like. None of the so-called experts can even tell what is ‘normal’ and what is not ‘normal’, and if you think humans can mess up the weather engine of the Earth, doubt it.
