So much for global warming! They are saying the snowcover is what is
keeping us from getting into the 50's during the days like we usually
do....


Yep, that's true. Iowa was enjoying a very warm winter, until these
last two snow storms. Since then, it's been right back to normal
winter temperatures.

Once you've got a layer of white ice reflecting away all the solar
heat, the temperature can just plummet.
