Our New Ice Age

Occasional Correspondent Lin sends along a link to a Daily Mail article that features this photo as its lede:

The Mail sez...

The image was released by the National Oceanic And Atmospheric Association (NOAA) on the day half of North America was in the grip of a severe winter storm.

The map was created using multiple satellites from government agencies and the US Air Force.

The Mail also has quotes from AlGore claiming that yes, all this snow IS due to AGW.  What a prat he is.  But, that said... and it's a given... the article also has some pretty cool winter weather pics if your winter reality ain't good enough for ya.  The salient point: it sucks to live in Chicago.
