Jan. 11, 2013 - Oy vay, that "global warming" sure is chilly! In these videos, we get a look at one of the heaviest snowstorms in 20 years, virtually shutting down the city of Jerusalem, Israel. The city was blanketed in white on Wednesday, January 9, 2013. See, that's how global warming works: It also makes it colder. Confused? Yes, so are the global warmists.

Chicago Snow Dogs
February 5, 2011 - Chicago - While their human servants are busy digging out from this week's blizzard, dogs in Chicago are enjoying the white stuff. We all know that dogs love snow, and there is now plenty of it for them to romp around in. These canines, at Pratt Beach in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, were busy playing a game that only they understand. See more photos, of both the morning-after and today, at our online photo album. Click on the images below to enlarge them.

Videos of Metrodome Roof Collapse, Inside and Outside
December 12, 2010 - Two spectacular videos to watch. It's fortunate that nobody was hurt when heavy snow in Minneapolis caused the roof of the Metrodome stadium to fall apart at around 5:00 a.m. today. Below, the first video shows a view of the collapse from outside. The second one shows the collapse inside the Metrodome.
Photo du Jour - Bittersweet Departures
The trees bade farewell
to the snows of March...
They cried as thirst-quenching snow, frozen water after all,
said a last goodbye
Hugs were exchanged
Tears were shed
They clung like lovers
being torn apart by
the wind of fate
Reluctant to let go,
unable to resist
"Come with me snow or you
both shall die!" cried the wind
The snow gave
itself up,
the ultimate
sacrifice
Goodbye snow,
you gave
us life

Heavy Snow In Great Britain
The United Kingdom is bracing for more heavy snow - up to 10 inches on Monday, February 2. The Brits are not used to this much snow all at once. The Daily Mail reported early Monday morning (2:14 a.m. London; 8:14 p.m. Chicago) that "Central London was coated in a blanket of snow more than 6in deep," closing major roads, with temperatures down to –5c (that's 23 Fahrenheit, which is balmy by Chicago standards in early February). You can read more at the Daily Mail website.
This is the heaviest snowfall for Britain in 18 years, according to The Sun: The Met Office’s Nigel Bolton warned: “It’s going to be the worst snow since 1991. The Pennines will take the brunt but London and the South East will be unusually badly affected too.”

Ice Station Howard
The new roof over the renovated CTA Howard Red Line station is grooved. This, to my pleasant surprise on Friday, makes for some beautiful and unusual snow-cicles.
