Reply #83: It's been a weird season,

[Deja Q]

but it wasn't dissimilar in the 1930s (the years of the Dust Bowl)

I think there is evidence to support global warming, or at least a shift in weather patterns brought about by the heat generated by excess traffic and pollution.

It seemed a normal winter last year; this year is rather different.

But any way to control excess travel would definitely help. (Living closer to work when possible?)
