Korea: Worst Snow in 70 Years

[Sinatra]

Seoul buried in heaviest snowfall in 70 years


...The snow and icy roads snarled traffic in and out of Seoul, and at least three people died in traffic accidents. Many commuters squeezed into packed subways to get to work, and a Cabinet meeting was delayed because ministers were stuck in traffic.

The snowfall, which continued through Monday afternoon, was the heaviest in a single day since Korea began conducting meteorological surveys in 1937, the state weather agency said.

Maybe we should relocate the polar bears to Korea?

 

[rightwinger]

Well do we need any more proof?

It snowed in Korea during the winter. Do you ignorant Libs need any more proof that global warming does not exist?

Ah, but when it is hot in Australia during their summer - by God, it's GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Worst since 1937.

This winter has been rough all over. We are getting below freezing temperatures in Fl, AL, MS, TX. We haven't seen that in years.

And it isn't just Korea that got a lot. Beijing got a lot too. And beijing usully only gets a small amount. This year they got several inches.

The Russian Far East was paralyzed for several days because of snow. And the russians know snow.

Moscow and St Petersburg got record snowfalls this year... So far. It is shaping up to be a worse year than 1942 weather wise.

Copenhagen usually is around 40 around christmas, but with Algore there they had several days below freezing.... And snow.

more science or are we just yaking about the weather again?

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Just one more set of data points. Science is making the theory fit the data. Global Warming is making the data fit the theory.

Of course snow and extreme cold is so damned unusual in Korea in the winter. Just ask any Marine that took part in the tropical exercise at the Chosin Resovoir.

Seoul, Richmond, San Jose, St. Louis are all around the 37th Parallel. St. Louis gets lots of snow too. Richmond and San Jose, not so much. Seoul is also very close to the ocean. As is San Francisco, which tends to moderate weather.
Syracuse Italy is also near 37*. As is Tunis in Africa.

Chosin Reservoir is up near the Manchurian border. And is pretty far inland. And at a high altitude.

Nope. We are all just talking about the massive shit that Sinatra just pinched off.
