Lack of January Snow Is a First in 75 Years

Submitted by john chauvin, Jan 30, 2008 12:28

I hope no one takes this article to defend global warming. Its been bitterly cold here in NY at times this year. The only statement to be made is lack of precipitation. This coincides with La Nina, a naturally occuring event currently taking place.
