The recent crippling snowstorms even shut down snow veterans like New York and Philadelphia for a couple days this week. The ill prepared Chesapeake Bay area of Baltimore and Washington D.C. have gotten blanketed with record highs in snowfall, which has resulted in business closures and weeklong school cancellations. Even the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas just received a record 11 inches of snow and the forecast predicts snow on the horizon for Louisiana and the Florida panhandle.
Reports coming out of Oklahoma City say that this could mean there might be measurable snowfall in every US state. It is unconfirmed, but this could be a first in our country’s history.
To be blunt, we are getting a shit ton of snow. It’s like something out of a Roland Emmerich movie. Pretty soon Obama is going to be looking for John Cusack to save the world. I starting to think maybe the Mayans were right and my back is already dreading shoveling snow in 2012.

Such a weather phenomenon (snow on ground in all 50 states) HAS occurred before – January 19th 1977, the day of the famous Miami snowfall. Those of us who remember weather in the 70s will recall news media’s headlines and angst over “Global Cooling”.
