Chicago in for its 35th measurable snow of season

The 35th measurable snow of the 2007-08 season sweeps into the Chicago area Thursday evening--well beyond the 30 measurable snows that have occurred in the average complete season here since 1928. An "Alberta Clipper" is behind prediction of more snow. Its center is to race west to east across the upper Midwest Thursday night, crossing Lake Superior on the way. Most "clippers" on that track reserve snow for areas mainly north of Chicago--and this system's heaviest snowfall will fall in Wisconsin and Michigan, where 4-7 inch totals are possible. But, the depth of the cold air mass in place will help generate snow well south of the storm track by encouraging gusty southerly winds that hit overnight to rush into the system, gliding up and over the cold air, producing 1-3 inches of snow across the Chicago area.

Yet still those tenth rate "scientists" and profits ( intended spelling ) of doom say that we are all going to die due to global warming ; global warming !! we are more likely to freeze to death . Freeze we may do , the solar observers say the absence of sun spot activity does give rise for concern , also there is abhor ant x-ray emissions in the solar radiations , these taken with previous data could indicate that seriously cold conditions can be expected .
I wonder if I could sue Al Gore for the lack of his promised global warming , at least for the cost of my North Face 700 down jacket . Al you owe me £ 280 , pay up now .
