The upcoming East Coast snowstorm

Uh Oh. There is a wonderful word: BOHICA -- kind of has a Caribbean sound to it. It is actually an acronym for Bend Over, Here It Comes Again From Bloomberg:
U.S. Mid-Atlantic Cleans Up From Snow; More Coming
Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia began digging out today from a blizzard that dumped as much as three feet of snow on parts of the mid-Atlantic region and left thousands without power.

Elkridge, Maryland, just south of Baltimore, recorded the region�s most snowfall with 38.3 inches (97 centimeters), the National Weather Service said. Baltimore�s airport had 24.8 inches, while Washington�s Reagan National had 17.8 inches, its second-biggest snowfall total. Philadelphia registered 28.5 inches, its second-biggest snowfall also. In the Virginia town of Howellsville, west of Washington, 37 inches fell.

�This was an epic storm,� said Andrew Ulrich, a meteorologist for AccuWeather.com Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania. �The sheer amount of snow was amazing.�

And there is more in store.

AccuWeather said another storm will arrive in the Northeast during the night of Feb. 9 into the morning of Feb. 10. Possible blizzard conditions are forecast for northeastern Pennsylvania to New England and as much as 12 inches of snow may fall. Baltimore and Washington may see as much as six inches of new snow, Ulrich said.
The new storm is starting in central states:
Another Major Cross-Country Snowstorm Taking Shape
A storm moving into the southern Plains tonight will turn into the next major cross-country snowstorm over the next few days. Substantial snow will develop across the Plains through Monday and spread into the Northeast and mid-Atlantic Tuesday into Wednesday. The storm is expected to strengthen as it reaches the mid-Atlantic coast, bringing more substantial snow to areas pummeled by the powerhouse storm this weekend and to areas farther north that were missed. Major disruptions to travel will result with delays and cancellations of flights, school and other activities.
Combine the overall (Europe is colder than normal too) cold weather with the implosion at the IPCC and CRU and maybe this Anthropogenic Global Warming shite will be dead and buried. I wonder what the progressives will set their sights on next. Communism failed when the Berlin Wall came down. They then infiltrated the environmental movement and took it over. Now that this is dead, where will they go next... Posted by DaveH at February 7, 2010 6:12 PM
