You don't see this everyday (in Ft. Walton)

And here is the collateral damage caused by global warming of icicles.

The handle of our snow shovel and hoe (we use that for breaking up any snow that turns to ice on the bottom of the snow we are shoveling from our walkway) has become coated with ice from the runoff of the roof icicles and now have formed their own.

Also on the corner of our building is a piece of plywood that has become its own icicle generator.

Take that! Global Warming.

It just occured to me that this has been a farce all along!!
Just like the Apollo moon landings, this has been staged a event. I believe that this has been orchestrated from the McKinley Climatic Hanger at Eglin AFB!!!!!
I was first tippped off by your "Poser" post at the control center screen.
Then it hit me the other day...
I had been invited to the "inter-sanctum" of FWBHS Baseball. Yes, I was invited to watch a high school base ball game from the "backyard of dreams" with a panel of experts that would intimidate Joe Buck. Sitting behind the left-center field fence, the peanut gallery could tell when the pitcher was going to throw a curve ball (before he even threw it!!) I told them that I was not worthy to sit with them, 'cause I'd have to sit behind the backstop to notice what they where clearly seeing from 400 ft away.
AHHH!!!.but I digress..
You see, as we were eating peanuts and sipping a few cold ones. a CV-22 came flying by. Someone asked what it was, and of course I quickly answered (I had to redeem myself by Aircraft knowledge).
Then, the grand master of the "inter-sanctum" replied, "Yup!!, we had that sum bich in the hanger for near six months...we had it hot we had it cold , so cold that there was icicles hanging from it for weeks. Then they it flew back to Pax river and it crashed into the Potamac...We wore that boy out!!!"
Dang, then it hit me, no , not a baseball, but the thought...."icicles in FWB!!!"
YOU'RE BUSTED !!!!!!!!!

Another tip off to this sham called "Cold Lake Hot Spot".
You claim to have prepared Yellow corn grits not just north of the Mason Dixon Line, But almost at the Dew Line. Every good 'ol southern boy knows that yellow Corn grits begin to coagulate above 37 30.5 deg North Latitude (approx. Richmond, Va) and will be a solid mass above 44 53 deg N Lat (approx. Minneapolis, MN). This was developed thru multiple cross breeding of corn stalks to keep these vital vittels out of the hands of those Damn Yankees during the next "war betwixt the states". (this inbreeeding of the corn was happened upon by Orville Redenbacher in a failed attempt to put his gourmet popcorn in a Jiffy Pop Popcorn pan).

I should have left the spoon standing up in the grits, then you would know that it was a solid, just as the in-breeding program caused. Don't forget that global warming will bring the climate of the south north and move the in-breeding a good deal further into the great white north.

Sadly, the climate chamber was defunded (by a General we both know) and I couldn't get the icicles there if I wanted to.

Well, you are certainly on top of your "Global Warming = Mass Destruction" propaganda!!
Unfortunately, for you Global Warming Pundits, The Yellow grits are affected by "Lattitude" not Temperature.
Thus, if what you are implying is true...then the Earth's rotation about it's axis must be shifting or True North is shifting or the Northern lights must be receeding.
Which takes me to my next point:
Where are the pictures or comments about said Northern Lights??? I guess the Defunded hanger at Eglin cannot duplicate these anomalies of the great white north.
So...What about those northern lights??!?!?!?
By the way, I was able to get on google at work. All I had to type in was "Tim's Global Warming Whining" and it came up #1 on the search list.!!

Sorry to disapoint, but the Climatic Lab is alive and well and is in full bore testing mode. We are fully funded, fully functional and fully booked.

btw.....Mother Nature doesn't control the weather....I do...and I controlled the weather for the V-22 test also. Been there since '85. :)
