Warm weather causes 40' wall of snow isolates town

Do you wonder why it's raining not snowing in-----in Valdez, Ak? Katayusha - right over your head - huh?

No, I wasn't wondering that at all. Because unlike you, I'm not an idiot. Just because it's Alaska doesn't mean that it always snows and never rains.

And please tell me you're not even more of an idiot than I initially thought, by trying to claim that global warming has made the difference between it raining that day instead of snowing.

The warm Japanese current?? people see Alaska and default to all snow.

You almost gotta laugh. Half a dozen people have been killed by snowfall as far south as New Orleans and the radical left thinks it's summer in Alaska.

Yes...this is all very funny.

Gee, an avalanche in Alaska? This is totally unexpected and out of the ordinary.

Gee, another dumb fuck comment from SE.

The warmth that caused the avalanche and melting snow is very much unexpected and out of the ordinary. It is January in Alaska.

Evidence that it was caused by warming?

And not a skier. Now that Alaska is so balmy, maybe we should all invest in farm land and resort property there.

Because prior to the invention of the Internal Combustion engine, our weather and climate were "ordinary"?

"It wasn’t just Alaska. Greenland has been about 5°C warmer than normal

So what? Shit happens.

I pity people whose intellect is so shallow that they have no choice but to resort to ad hominem attacks because the point their ideology forces them to make is so lame it won't stand up on it's own.

Get off your self appointed pedestal. Stop being an idiot, and I won't point out that you're being an idiot.

Alaska Avalanche Information Center in Valdez, forecaster Sarah Carter said “This was an abnormal event,” and Carter said “If we do have weather patterns that produce storms with warmer temperatures, we could indeed see avalanches of this caliber more frequently.”

And if Martians invade Earth, there will be more Martians on Earth. Doesn't prove that Martians exist.

Looks like the poor denialists just aren't capable of understanding what the word "global" means. It's third-grade level stuff, but it seems to be beyond their intellectual grasp.

In the USA, the average temperature anomaly for January 2014 was merely -0.1C, as a warm west mostly offset the cold east.

For the world, the January 2014 UAH temperature anomaly is +0.29C, according to Roy Spencer. That is, "warm".
