"Global Warming" Aftermath

My area is still cleaning up 30 inches of "products of global warming".  From 9am to 4pm I was out there digging out walkway and car.  At 7:30pm, my street is still not plowed (yes, I was not able to make it to Mass today).  Here are some pictures.

I was halfway from removing the snow from my car when I decided to take this, to give an idea of the amount of "climate change" we endured.  I assure you, my forearms and wrists are still hurting.  I literally shoveled it from my car (very gingerly, to avoid scratching the paint).  In the background is a neighbor's car, covered by fallen branches from a pine tree.  The snow was a wet one, which can be very heavy.  Fortunately that caused no power outages in my area.


Now to the right is my back yard.  That white thing on the left is about 3 feet of snow piled on top of my barbeque grill.  Immediately to the right of the wall is a similar pile on top of my heat pump.  The pile in the middle is (or maybe was) a bush.  You can see how the split-rail fence (with 3 rails) is almost buried.

Guess what?  We're under a winter storm watch, beginning this coming Tuesday!  Isn't global warming fun?

Help! I'm a victim of Global Climate Change!!

I hereby demand my government bailout/stimulus money!  Why?  Because "products of global warming" are quickly descending upon me - two feet of them so far, and more "products" rapidly arrive by the second!  Take a look at all this evidence.   

The picture to the left is taken from a window in front of my house. The splotches are snow flakes that are adhering to the window pane.  The car closest to the house is mine, although it is so buried that the license plate is covered.  The other car, in the upper left of the picture has suffered some misfortune.  The heavy snow has caused the branch of the pine tree to break - and to fall on top of it.



Now to the right is a picture of the back of my house, most notably a neighbor's swing set.  Notice 1) the height of the piles on the swing set seats and 2) how the snow comes up to the seats.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't you think that I should demand an opportunity to go on the Doprah Windbag Show and shamelessly pour forth my sad tales of woe and misery, for all the world to gape and gawk at, in fits of voyeuristic idleness?  Look - if Al Gore and all the Copenhagan crowd can leave their "carbon footprints" all over the place while making moocho buckoes hawking their global warming junk science, why shouldn't we demand our piece of the pie?  OK guys!  Pony up!
