Ice Age in NC

The last Ice Age ended around 10,000 BC but since 2010, we have had four major snowstorms in NC.  Granted, by Canadian or Pittsburgh standards, it is not much, but usually North Carolina does not have much when it comes to Winter weather.

People here still can't drive....LOL

I refuse to accept the "they are not used to this" argument, especially, as I just said, since we have had some severe weather since 2010. 

I am not sure if we are heading for another Ice Age but I don't blame you for thinking we are.  Ironically, the main effect of global warming would be an ice age.   Melting polar ice caps run off into the Atlantic, disrupting a current off of the East Coast called the Atlantic Conveyer. 

The Conveyer runs up from the tropics bringing moderate weather to the East Coast or at least taking the edge off Winter. Without it, cold weather from Canada, or possibly Siberia (!) comes in without anything to push it back.  The Applalachins provide a wall but if these storms climb over it, get the mammoth repellent ready!

At least it is good football weather!
