Climate Change along Pine Island Bayou

I guess it just depends on what you are used to.  Along the bayou we can take a direct hit from a category III hurricane, recover from a 500 year flood or endure the hottest, humid days you can imagine.  But, when the temperature drops below freezing, it is another story.  

While Chicago is digging out from 10 feet of snow and people on the East Coast are driving to work behind the snow plow, we are shut down by a freezing rain and Artic temperatures dropping to 30.  Heck, it didn't even snow!

Schools are closed.  Businesses shut down.  Bridges and overpasses are icing over, making driving treacherous.  Our transportation department is limited in its ability to clear the roads.  One of the road crews is shown below as it prepares to spread salt.

Something ain't right!  It's not suppose to get cold along the Bayou.  Al Gore, look what you have gone and done.
