Were these the first winter weather advisories OKX issued since October?

Since when are WWA issued for an inch of snow? Is this Georgia?

On an ending note, Al Gore did not decide one day to get rich off of climate change.

Once again, William, reading is fundamental. Al Gore donated all proceeds from his movies and books on climate change to non-profit organizations.

Yes, reading is fundamental...the article states that Gore donates the proceeds from his book to "The Alliance For Climate Protection"...an organization that he himself is the Chairman of...the whole concept behind the idea of a charitable contribution is that one will receive no goods or services in exchange for it...the fact the he heads up the group he is contributing to tells you all you need to know...

As far as I know, any freezing rain accumulation triggers at least a Winter Weather Advisory.

I am so bored. Uggggggh

cant even get the supposed brief period of wintry weather to pan out up here:

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...

INCREASED TEMPS MAINLY OVER ORANGE COUNTY THROUGH 06Z AS GUIDANCE

IS STILL A BIT TOO COLD. GUIDANCE IS HINTING THAT THERE IS LESS OF A

CHANCE OF SEEING ANY FROZEN OR FREEZING PRECIP FOR INLAND AREAS.

STILL NOT CONFIDENT IN TAKING DOWN THE ADVISORY FOR ORANGE COUNTY

JUST YET...THOUGH THIS MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE NEXT UPDATE. ALSO

INCREASED CLOUD SLIGHTLY OVER THE REGION WITH BANDS OF MAINLY

VIRGA MOVING INTO THE REGION.

I was thinking about how the local TV weather people are dealing with this. They probably have news directors saying, 'Is there anything we can hype...'. This is especially where the weather TV ratings tend to be highest in New York, the winter season as we are not a severe thunderstorm or hurricane hotbed.

then you should be smart enough to have followed the thread and put your two cents in politics or climate change subforums.

us unemployed lazy fat black people cant think like you....we dont know any better.

I thought they got all the mercury out of the atmosphere in Danbury when hats started to go out of fashion circa 1960....

So what you are saying is that someone cannot head an organization without taking a profit...say every single charitable organization started by a rich philanthropist? Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation...who is the head? Do they profit off of this?

Get a grip.

it leaked into the food they feed to the poor instead....some say it wasnt leaked but injected by right wing extremists. i never believed it til I saw americas favorite president, ole cowboy GW Bush resent the people of New Orleans like the plague. then i started thinking, maybe we arent that far removed from the 60s afterall.

I'm not in the slightest aggravated...it is my birthday and I'm posting in between snacking on Carvel...If Gore makes a billion dollars on his crusade...more power to him...nothing wrong with a man making money....even if he sees not a dime directly...he can still write off the donations on his tax return...greatly reducing his tax liability...but as to your original premise...about the utter impossibility of an individulal having an ulterior motive when lining up with the prevent global warming movement...it is rather naive....

Anything is possible, however, climate change skeptics hired by oil companies and big business to raise doubt is much more likely.
