Tinkerbell is freezing in Orlando - I'm sure I've mentioned this before but I'm a huge Disney fanatic. So imagine my surprise when I saw this notice over at
AllEars.net: "
Due to the cold weather in Florida, Blizzard Beach water park will be closed January 8, 2010." That's right: a water park with a ski resort theme is being closed due to frigid temperatures. Irony!
Update (1/9) - Blizzard Beach closed again today...too damned cold.
2009 was tied with 2007 as the fifth warmest year since 1880.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the U.S. snow cover in October 2009 (last full month measured) was the third-largest since satellite records began in 1967. Eurasia's snow cover was its tenth largest.

These facts are not contradictory, although Goofy might think so.
