Oh That Global Warming
A storm blamed for at least 36 deaths across the eastern half of the country spread into the Northeast on Monday, coating trees, power lines and roads with a shell of ice up to a half-inch thick and knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
Ice-covered roads cut into Martin Luther King Jr. holiday observances from Albany, N.Y., to Fort Worth and Austin, Texas, where officials also canceled Gov. Rick Perry’s inauguration parade on Tuesday because another round of ice was expected during the night.
The weight of the ice snapped tree limbs and took down power lines, knocking out electricity to more than 70,000 customers in New York state and New Hampshire.
And it’s cold here in Sunny Las Vegas. Gosh. Must be a new Ice Age coming.
