"Oh Crap, Here We Go Again"

With the weather warming in Ohio spring must be on the way. This brings up the "Here we go again" news that will be shoved down our collective throats in the next four weeks. It will come from the MSM and lead the nightly news every damned night. Of course, I'm talking about the continued plague of manmade global warming. Yes, readers, the massive amounts of ice are going to melt and then fill up streams and rivers which will flood the lands.
The Associated Press jumped on this supernatural aspect this morning. It makes me wretch.

The siege of polar air that has gripped the region this winter has caused the most extensive freeze-over of the lakes since the record-setting year of 1979, when nearly 95 percent of their surface area solidified. On Tuesday, the ice cover reached its highest point since then - 91 percent, said George Leshkevich, a physical scientist with the federal Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor.

Meanwhile, the towering snowpack rimming the watershed will melt this spring and much of the water will flow into the lakes or the streams that feed them. The runoff is expected to be so bountiful that some areas will be in danger of flooding, a prospect that could be worsened by ice jams on swollen rivers.

"Any additional rainfall on top of that snowpack would add to that flood threat," said Keith Kompoltowicz, hydrology branch chief with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers district office in Detroit. "We're certainly paying very close attention to the weather in the next few weeks."
