Exactly, and the bleeding heart liberals who have no idea what they're talking about, sitting in their NYC penthouses, hosting dinner parties to send money to the slums for the Mayor and the rest of the crooks to divide up.

So much for Global Warming... Today's snow could break record By Brittany Schoepp Today's predicted snowfall won 't simply be the 41st day of measurable snow accumulation this winter. If, as the National Weather Service is forecasting, another 3 to 5 inches of snow falls on southern Wisconsin by the time the storm blows through Tuesday morning, it will put the winter of 2007-08 into the record books as Madison 's snowiest. Or as some weary residents might call it, the most cursed. Just 2.1 inches of snow is needed to tie the 1978-79 record of 76.1, and the inevitable march into the record books is expected to resume this afternoon, said Bill Borghoff, a meteorologist with the weather service 's Sullivan office. A snow advisory begins today at 3 p.m. and is slated to last until noon Tuesday. "Madison will break the record, " Borghoff said, adding that Thursday and the weekend offer chances to pad the record with yet more snow. While Sunday 's wind chill advisory has expired, today probably won 't offer much reprieve from the bitter cold, with a high only around 8 expected, Borghoff said. "Cold temperatures will help to keep the snow a little more fluffy than we have seen recently, " Borghoff said. Slippery roads Sunday -- mainly caused by Saturday 's snowfall being pushed back onto the roads by high winds -- kept law enforcement busy throughout the region, State Patrol dispatcher Jon Morrison said. "It 's too cold for the salt to work, " Morrison said, noting sand is the only option when conditions get so cold. Sunday morning, a seven-mile stretch of eastbound Interstate 39-90 in the Stoughton area was closed for nearly two hours, from 8:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., after a tractor-trailer jackknifed and fuel spilled onto the already slippery highway where numerous slide-offs had been reported. About 120 other vehicles were stuck in the closed-off area until a State Patrol team arrived and escorted them out. Only minor injuries were reported. It was the same area -- but in the opposite direction -- where thousands of motorists were stranded for as long as 12 hours in a snowstorm last week. The slippery driving conditions were made worse by strong winds and freezing temperatures. Sgt. Les Mlsna said it was so bad a trooper 's car was hit twice because cars couldn 't stop or even slow down. In contrast to Wednesday 's Interstate traffic jam, dispatchers said the State Patrol closed the Interstate Sunday because alternate routes were safe to drive on. The Dane County Sheriff 's Office reported around 15 crashes on Highway 18/151, from west of Verona to the county line, Sunday morning into the afternoon, said Sheriff 's Dept. Lt. Jeff Blakley. No serious injuries were reported.
