This is evidence of fresh water krakens. You can just see them pushing the ice if you look hard enough.

Meanwhile in the Great North Wet we’re having unseasonably warm, dry temperatures.

You know, back in your home state, it’s been actually quite nice. Consistent temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, no rain (an impossibility, I know), and nothing but sun. My girlfriend has a good tan going, even.

I have this terrible feeling that LA may have won the looto this year we had a very mild winter and it looks like there will be a very mild like none existent “cool june gloom” this year it is all ready trying to be july.
I wonder what all that winter is going to do to food prices shouldn’t the wheat be a few inches high all ready?
things worry me like that
I would think that if you start to pump more energy into a some what stable system that it might get unstable. It would only get stable when the energy level stabilizes again. I see no indication that is happening.

Also… you have a lake called “a thousand lakes” in Minnesota?

SyFy was actually ahead on this one. 2012: Ice Age. That ice sheet moved even faster than the one in Minnesota.

Unfortunately, it’s not nearly as funny in Manitoba. People are losing their homes and possessions.

Oh, dang; how did I miss the very first comment from “A Hermit” about that? Sorry for the duplicate info.

Temperatures are cool…proof(!!!) there is no global warming. [/sarcasm]
