Earmuffs: hottest accessory on 4th of July
It was so cold at the Greeley Independence Stampede on Saturday night, July 4, 2009, that a woman ferrying guests about in a golf cart was forced to wear earmuffs to fend off the chill. After a rain storm delayed the start of the Bucky Covington/Blake Shelton concert, the temperature dropped. I was wrapped up in a sweatshirt and two coats.
The cold, damp weather isn’t unique to Northern Colorado. According to the National Weather Service, Central Park in New York City suffered through one of the coldest, wettest Junes in history. Some interesting Central Park June weather facts:
THIS JUNE IS TIED FOR THE 8TH COOLEST ON RECORD. THE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE WAS 67.5…3.7 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL…WHICH ALSO
OCCURRED IN 1897.
CENTRAL PARK HAS NOT HIT 85 DEGREES IN THE MONTH OF JUNE THIS YEAR.
THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS BACK IN 1916. THIS HAS ONLY OCCURRED
2 OTHER TIMES…1903 AND 1886.
The latest global averaged satellite temperature shows that Al Gore’s “fever” diagnosis for planet earth is just plain wrong! According to Climate Depot, “the Earth has cooled .74°F since former Vice President Al Gore released “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006.” And it’s part of an 8 year trend. It seems the truth is inconvenient for the Goracle.
UPDATE: Al Gore is insane — bats in the belfry! Today the London Times Online reports that Al Gore, the high priest of global warming hysteria, likens his fight over global warming to the free world’s battle against Nazis — genocidal, facist Nazis.

Maybe that’s why my white Leather polo jacket was stolen at the Stampede… somebody was chilled and needed warmed.
Boy do I miss that jacket.
Amy.. your writing is simple and direct… very nice in an era of info overload.

[...] asked the same question back on the 4th of July when I saw a woman wearing ear muffs because it was so cold. So I’ll ask all the eco-totalitarian, global warming alarmists, where has the warming [...]
