Let it snow . . .
I thought for some reason that the snow was officially done after that extremely cold weather at the beginning of the month. Apparently, I was wrong. It isn't that I don't like the snow, I just like the summer as well. The sooner the snow goes away, the sooner we can go swimming, tanning and so much more good stuff like that. I can handle the snow as long as it doesn't get too cold. Fresh snow is actually quite pretty when the weather is nice. I might have to go home this weekend and fire up the old sled for a final rip before we put them away. I guess I don't know how soon it will be until we put them away because the weather is so unpredictable. Did you hear that Arizona got a big snow storm? That is really scary. It is a sure sign of global warming. Think of all the people who live there that are not prepared for conditions like that. It is sad to think of how fast this global warming is taking over our earth and climate. We need to start making a difference. Every little bit helps. Well I don't really know how a nice conversation about snow turned into a lecture about global warming, but I will step down from the podium and tell you all to have a good sleep!

The fact that we all feel the need for summer whether is forgivable seeing as 8 months of the year are usually below zero and white. But in the past couple of years the winter has been coming later and leaving sooner. I wish that I didn't have to complain but this really isn't good for the earth. Humans have changed regular whether patterns for the earth in the last ten years for the worse. If you haven't seen the movie " An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore then I suggest you watch it. The idea of global warming is actually worse than you think. Ice caps have melted and Amarillo, Texas has a foot of snow.
It is important to understand global warming so that we can inspire our students to help fix the damage that we have done.
"An Inconvenient Truth" is a fantastic movie... it did, however, scare the crap outta me. It was explaining that if the ice caps in Iceland/Antarctica were to melt, Florida would almost entirely be covered by water. It compared the situation to hurricane Katrina. Think of all of the people that were out of their homes in Louisiana... could you imagine if ALL of Florida was covered by water? There would be a major outcry... where would all of those people go? Just a continuation on the thought of global warming
