Great Winter Weather This Year!

Hiya folks. I dunno how the weather be treating you right now where you live. Out here in Iowa we're up to our eyeballs in snow and ice and, I'd imagine most of us are sick and tired of winter.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a few pics from some of the news agencies around here. A story out of Mason City really grabbed my attention.








The Mason City Globe Gazette wrote an article and posted some video of the scene:

http://www.globegazette.com/articles...dia_id=9689277

You might also try www.kcci.com (Channel 8 News here) for more pics and news stories.

It surprises me how the weather can fool us at times. I guess we don't always expect to have whiteout conditions when a normal workday begins. The wind blows like all hell's insanity out here.

If you feel like posting pics and whatnot of the weather in your neck of the woods, please, by all means do so. If winter is as hardcore here as it is lately, it's gotta be just as hardcore or more (or possibly less) elsewhere in the world.

!Viva Winter!

Your Brother in Arms,

krashkart

Australia? I could switch countries right about now...There's a winter storm brewing in the north of Finland and it might be headed this way.

I like how he made the site look "official"; as if it's actually coming from someone important in the scientific community and not just some guy from somewhere in Arizona. And he even included a "DONATE" button. It looks like the old background ChristianAnswers.net.

Nope, just the work of some conspiracy guy who lives in the middle of the desert and wants to draw people to his theories that it's all a huge political scam being conducted by dozens of industrialized countries the world over by setting up multiple fake websites which he tries to make appear official in nature and accurate in content.
