Many scientists maintain that we are. Last year the United States had its coldest temperature in 25 years. We had, for us, very cold weather and two light snows. This year is very cold just about everywhere. We have had temperatures in the teens more than once, including this week. Ice and snow hit last night, making travel hazardous and practically closing down the town. Some snow and ice has melted and Jen left a few minutes ago hoping the grocery store is open. Water on the ground will freeze tonight as temperatures are predicted to be around 20 degrees. It will be warmer tomorrow, although nights will be below freezing.
Some areas of the country, including New York and Chicago, have been hit hard by cold and by heavy snows. Several accidents have taken lives and people have stranded in their cars for hours. Closer to home Dallas has had heavy snow and accidents, and to a certain extent all Texas, has had power shortages and rolling blackouts.The Superbowl will go on as scheduled, power being kept on throughout the new stadium.
The direct cause of the power shortage in Texas is Obama refusing to allow construction of power plants. If Obama continues to deprive the country of energy and this cold cycle continues, the nation will really suffer, which is what Obama has said he wants.
