Of Snow and Sludge

Global-bleeping-warming my bleeping arse!

(Blog author's note: even the weather channel is a lie. Telling me it's around 12 here when I just checked the thermometer. Says 4 degrees, and it sure feels a lot colder)


"Up to 10 inches of snowfall expected

Tomorrow may be an especially good morning to sleep in. Massachusetts residents will wake up to a storm blanketing the state with as much as 10 inches of snow, weather forecasters said. The storm will begin at about 8 p.m. today in the Connecticut Valley, will reach Worcester by midnight, and Boston by 2 a.m. tomorrow, National Weather Service meteorologist Eleanor Vallier-Talbot predicted. In the early morning hours tomorrow, the storm could dump an inch of snow or more per hour, she said. Forecasters said that an Alberta Clipper-type low-pressure system will pass just south of southern New England tonight and snow will spread over the area from the southwest. The weather service issued a winter storm watch advisory predicting 5 to 10 inches of snow, with the heaviest amounts along and south of the Massachusetts Turnpike.

Yeah, yeah, so when is it supposed to be ending so I can work out my ailing and aching back again.


Meanwhile, down South they have bigger problems

"TVA waste pond ruptures in Alabama

STEVENSON, Ala. - A waste pond at a coal-burning power plant in northeast Alabama ruptured yesterday, but the spill was quickly contained, utility officials said. It was the second breach at a Tennessee Valley Authority facility in less than a month.

The leak was discovered at about 6 a.m. yesterday at the plant near Stevenson, said TVA spokesman John Moulton. Most of the material from the leak flowed into a settling pond at the plant site, but some spilled into nearby Widows Creek, he said.

But it's contained and safe. Is there not one damn thing these guys don't lie about? Every time you turn around it is some industry or government liar!

The leak had stopped by late morning and TVA was conducting temporary repairs on the pond, Moulton said. State emergency management officials are trying to determine if any drinking water systems might be affected by the spill into the creek, which flows into the Tennessee River, said Scott Hughes, a spokesman for Alabama Department of Environmental Management.

Yeah, but it's contained and safe, isn't that what led this article? Pffffttt!!

The spill, about 30 miles southwest of Chattanooga, Tenn., comes just after a dike burst at a plant near Kingston, Tenn., on Dec. 22, releasing more than 1 billion gallons of toxic-laden ash into a neighborhood.
