    I remember 50 years ago being told about the "mini ice age" that was coming. Had me believing it for about a week, then I realized that people make huge amount of money with the fear factor, think the 2000 year computer bug, after that I started thinking for myself. You guys believe what you want to believe, if you feel so strongly about global warming no one is stopping you from sending in more money to buy the so called "carbon credits" to cool the earth back down.

    As a moderator, isn't it your job to steer conversations AWAY from pointless political arguments?

    Relax. It’s called having a sense of humor.

    If you are at the service plaza, go inside and ask. They can give you an official answer.

    You are correct. A higher temperature differential creates the more severe weather. Polar regions will still be very cold in the dead of winter because in January it never sees the sun. That cold air gets moved down further than normal usually when the upper air jet stream dips down in a trough over the states. Warmer moist air such as that over the great lakes then moves over the cold land and dumps all the moisture as it cools giving all those lucky NY drivers lake effect snow.

    One last note; if they close roads in the east to trucks you don’t want to be on them anyway. Watch another movie.

    Correction: if you don't believe in science then it equals uneducated. Just because you're not seeing the effects of it now, it does not mean that it's bogus.

    I had sat all day in North East PA. I finally took 86 to 390 as suggested by a local. For whatever reason, I envisioned it being more miles than it was. It wasn't a bad ride at all, maybe added an additional 90 miles roughly
