"Snowfall breaks records in Western states; Flights canceled, traffic snarled" by Ken Ritter, Associated Press | December 19, 2008
LAS VEGAS - Flights resumed in and out of Las Vegas, but schools and highways were closed yesterday after a record-setting snowfall coated marquees on the Strip, weighed down palm trees, and blanketed surrounding mountain areas.
The city awoke to clear weather after a storm that left 3.6 inches at McCarran International Airport. It was biggest December snowfall on record there, and the worst for any month since a 7.5-inch accumulation in January 1979, forecasters said.
Sounds like NATURAL CYCLES to me!!!
The storm Wednesday and early yesterday also dumped snow or rain and snarled travel in other parts of Nevada, much of southern California, and parts of northern Arizona....
In Washington state, Seattle got a rare 4-inch accumulation, and in Spokane, the 17 inches piled up by 4 a.m. yesterday broke a 24-hour record total of 13 inches set in 1950. Spokane declared a "Condition Red" snow emergency, meaning crews will work around the clock until they complete a full city plow.

"Transit funds present quandary for Obama; Advocates are split on which projects to back" by Scott Helman, Globe Staff | December 19, 2008
.... This bill alone is not expected to be a vehicle for the kinds of significant changes many advocates want....
Sentiments like that prompted the environmental group Friends of the Earth to assert in a solicitation to supporters that the stimulus bill will be "hijacked by the road-building lobby, which wants billions of dollars for unnecessary new roads that would increase global warming."
Increase what? Talk about DISCREDITING YOURSELF!!! Ha-ha-ha!!
Yeah, and if the green, fart-mist cultist doesn't get his way., he compares the road-builders to TERRORISTS!!! Yeah, just discredit your argument even more, hot air nutty!
