MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Bone-chilling cold settled in Thursday from the Midwest to the Northeast Thursday, bringing teeth-chattering misery with temperatures that sank as low as 47 below zero.
Record snowfall, plunging temperatures hit the area
La Grange, IL -
A new record was set Wednesday when Chicago had its ninth consecutive day of measurable snowfall, according to the National Weather Service. The previous record was eight consecutive days set from Dec. 13 to 20, 1973.Snowfall records in Chicago date back to 1884.
Waxman promises quick action on climate
WASHINGTON (AP) - The chairman of a key House committee said Thursday he will move "quickly and decisively" to push legislation curbing greenhouse gases with a goal of passing climate legislation out of his committee before Memorial Day.
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., opening the new Congress' first hearing on the threats from global warming, said inaction on the climate issue is causing uncertainties that make it more difficult to emerge from the recession.

If it gets any hotter, we may freeze to death.
How much longer are people going to swallow this stuff? Even more to the point, how much is this global warming nonsense going to cost us before everyone catches on that it’s a scam? It’s clear that the Democrats want to institute a “cap and trade” system by which industry will be charged a “fee” for the CO2 emitted by their manufacturing processes, payable of course to the US treasury. It’s just another tax that they will attempt to justify in the name of saving the planet.
A more satisfying control on CO2 would be to limit Democrat politicians to exhaling once an hour. Of course we couldn’t rely on merely their word that they would control their breathing. A better solution would be a device placed over their nose and mouth that only opened on the hour for a period of perhaps ten seconds.
