"Due to the cool waters for a great distance from the Pacific coast of
Canada, there has never been a storm of any intensity to directly affect
the Pacific side, with the only exception being the remnants of Typhoon
Freda that were absorbed by the Columbus Day Storm of 1962."

Looking at the death toll of Canadian hurricanes, there's no way they
come anywhere close to the death toll caused by cold. The 1998 ice storm
in Quebec killed 35 people and did about $6 billion in damage.

We'll repatriate the Florida snowbirds and call it even,

New Orleans has a French Quarter. May I suggest NO for your future
summer vactions? As ever, I am ready to contribute.

The only downside is you wouldn't create as much CO2 as you would
flying to France. Oh well, life is about tradeoffs.

Hmm, seems as how the arctic ice cap is larger this year than last.

Well, it's been just short of a month since Tom wrote this. Here's
yesterday's update from

Of course another thing we should find interesting about Robert's
posting is that the original predictions from his weather experts
were that the arctic ice sheet was going to disappear completely.

Another bit of news today:
"Ellesmere Island loses huge ice shelf"

"One of Canada's five remaining Arctic ice shelves - the 4,500-year-old,
50-sq.-km. Markham Ice Shelf - has broken completely away from Ellesmere
Island and drifted into the Arctic Ocean [...]"

Yes!


This is so pleasing to me. And you know how much I appreciate your
open arm policy and know you will welcome me as it gets too damn hot
down here in Kommifornia.

And I am not so much for olive branches, but I will bring some tater
water with me as a good will gesture.

We'll start with the Duval, and move on to the tater water when the
Duval stops working.

Chortle. So I don't think I've won Chung over to my pro-global-warming
position, but he figures with my new snowbird-offset program, it's at
least break-even.

Dumbass,

My out-laws live in Florida. You've bitten off more than you can chew.

I dunno, dude. This just seems a lot like the
"Bring them on" strategy, applied to weather.

It might work out, but if you wake up one day
covered in mosquitos, a tornado blows through
the trailer park next door, and your training rides
are interrupted by people throwing Bud cans and
empty bags of pork rinds at you, it isn't going
to be pretty.

A ship of fools. A Casbah of Kooks.

With my clown car and low key life-style, my pets would be paying me.
