Global warming.  Last year the fruit bats said that the reason DC and parts of Virginia that used to get snow and had ski runs and didn't now was because of global warming.  This year when they get a "snowpocalypse" it is because of global warming.  Spaghetti theory.

Everything runs in cycles including the weather.  Some of our hottest records on file are prior to the industrial revolution.
 
I saw something briefly on The Discovery Channel about the magnetic poles flipping and that is happening right now but takes many many years to complete.   It happens every so many thousands of years and when it does huge weather changes accompany it.

Here is what it looked like on my way to the warehouse.
 
 
 
 
Without four wheel drive you could not make it in the parking lot, well actually you could make in the parking lot but you could not make it out.
 
 
Ask Brady he knows all about it.  Bandito
 
 
Only four people made it so we were not able to turn the phones on we were just able to answer e-mails and get out the on line orders.  UPS did not start running until 2:00 and nothing usually stops those guys.
 
I used a new snow dispersal method to make it easier for Brady to get out of the parking lot....worked pretty good.

Pure fun right there.  Abbie, my 3 year old, request that I cut cookies in parking lots.  She loves it.

Try to take a front wheel drive car and cut donuts in reverse, adds a whole new level of fun.
