    Well we missed it up here today but it will come we get it about every year here on the northern front not enough to speak of but a flurry or 2 at least but in 4 years of being over here thats the first i heard of it snowing that far south in Iraq. It was cold today though so no telling what is next. If we don't get some rain soon it will water rationing again this summer and baby wipe baths for months again.

    The funny thing about the global warming fanatics
    When its warm its global warming
    When its cold its global warming
    When it rains to much its global warming
    When it doesn't rain its global warming
    It turns out no matter what the weather is like they say " see here is the proof " LOL
     
  7. It was such a wonderful event people called each other to be sure their friends and family didn't miss it. They kept saying things like, It was raining from the sky..lol. I can't imagine living somewhere that doesn't get snow and having generations go by without ever seeing it. People experienced it as magical, which of course it is...

    Cool story.

    Only those without full possession of their mental facilities lack the understanding to realize that the world climate runs in cycles. Just in the 70s the climate nazis were claiming we were headed for another ice age. Now its we are all gonna die from heat stroke. But they deliberately forget about the record high temps of the 40s when there was no where near the pollution we have today.

    Its a real gut buster :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_25523: :biggrin_25523:

    If I was the general in Baghdad I would have used this to my advantage.

    "If you don't put down your weapon's I will make the clouds fall from the sky and the ground turn white". And then when the snow started falling, I would say, "I told you so, next time it will be fire."

    And I thought snow here on the Valley floor was amazing! We see measureable snow about once every lifetime... It hadn't been seen here in 30 years when it snowed in 1999.. We got a whole whopping 4 1/2 inches! Schools were canceled... Kids were up playing in it at 6 am! Work didn't happen! I think Bob, Daddy, and Dad were among the few who did anything useful for 3 or 4 days! LOL! My hubby worked in a citrus plant at the time, and all they did was have snowball fights! (And they got PAID for it!)

    I will never forget waking up to my huby telling me it was snowing... I didn't believe him!
    "Honey, wake up! It's snowing!"
    "You're dreaming. Get back in bed."
    "No! It's snowing!"
    "It's only hail. Get back in bed."
    "It's SNOWING!"
    "If I get up and check, will you get back in bed and LEAVE ME ALONE???"

    Yep.. I got up, and there was SNOW everywhere! The world was white.. Pretty amazing. Everyone had to be woke up and told that it was snowing!
