Thumbs Up To Global Warming

All a person hears about global warming is all the bad things, which, as of this time, is that the polar ice caps will melt away and flood the coasts of all the continents.

Well, those of use that live in the land-locked barren wasteland and are treated to 4 months of bitter-cold and snow weather each year are a bit more receptive to the whole 'global warming' idea. For the past week or so, the temperature around here has been pleasantly warm...and by warm I mean above 20 degrees (let alone above 0). This past Sunday, I did not wear a jacket at all while the sun was out and the temperature passed 40 degrees and it felt like spring was on it's way. Of course this will likely be a brief warm spell before winter comes back with a vengeance and temperatures drop below zero again. I can't recall the last Super Bowl Sunday where the temperature was above zero...in fact, I can recall more Super Bowl Sunday's in which I had to jump-start someone's vehicle or become involved in some weather related issue brought upon by the severity of the cold weather. Until then, though, I am loving the mild temps that are gracing this region at this time...
