Seriously? In light of the storms you had just this week? Let's really look at unusual weather, -35 in Minnesota, that's 20 degrees below average for Calgary. Toronto has an average of 31 in of snow in Jan and Feb. We topped 51" yesterday with a new storm coming over the weekend. Minneapolis had 19 days of below zero in January alone. Detroit has had more snow in January than it recieves all season. Did you see any of the video from Hotlanta last week? One motorist I saw interviewed was in his car for 16 hours. I bet you didn't hear the story that it was colder in central Minnesota on several days than McMurdoe Station or Wild Horse, Yukon Territory.
I repeat, Thank You Frank, Good Job, Keep up the Good Work, Thank You!
