Must be because I changed my light bulbs.

That's hilarious!

I just heard on channel seven news that snow is now in every state of continental USA including Florida. Did someone mention El Ninio?

Here are some great pictures on Baldy

I believe that there was snow in 49 out of 50 states -- it missed our southernmost state.

Edit -- I saw an article yesterday saying that there was no snow in Hawaii. Just now, I just saw a different one reporting that there is snow on the highest peaks. In the interest of accuracy, we should send someone to check things out. I suggest taking up a collection to send one of our regular posters to Hawaii for some research.

I volunteer. This would be field work, but I may need a couple of nights in a nice hotel to write up my report

"Hawaii's 13,800-foot Mauna Kea volcano, which often gets snow much of the year at its higher elevations, is the most likely place in the 50th state to have snow, but there "is nothing right now," said research meteorologist Tiziana Cherubini at the Mauna Kea Weather Center. It has been a few weeks since there has been snow in the mountains, and none is in the forecast, ruining a perfect 50-for-50, she said."

I also thought it was Florida, until I read that.

I think you messed up my research trip. But that's ok -- collections were going very slowly.

She's clearly biased. And AlanK has an agenda...we need an unbiased examiner to be sent to the Big Island. The sacrifice would be huge, but after hours of inner monologue and philosophizing with Spinoza, I realized I must nominate myself.

Take the ski lift up Baldy to the Notch and steal one of the snow makers to be safe check it at the airport it's rather large I don't think you can "carry it on" and borrow some power and water at the "Observatory" then you can make it a 50 for 50 all or nothing proof
