Here in beautiful upstate NY we missed having our first major storm in November by one day. We got nearly an inch of ice followed by about 14 inches of snow on 12/1. Oh, fire truck ship high in transit. The wife got snow pants and boots for the kids later in the week. I told her to find me a snowmobile/hovercraft hybrid with a heated cabin and I’d gladly go outside with them. I’m dreaming of a green and brown Christmas.
In 1979 they were talking about a new Ice Age coming our way, nothing could stop it. By 1981, bam! it was all about global warming. Now it’s “climate change”—indicating that they don’t really know what’s going to happen. Kind of like the weather man. You want to know what the weather’s like, open a window.
I love Calvin’s frustration at just a half inch of snow, rather than glaciers and a new ice age, being contrasted with Hobbes’s joyful “Look! The sun’s coming out!”
Wow! Calvin is upset because he only got an inch of snow (from 1989). And suddenly we have a bunch of nutz spewing climate crap, that someone on the interwebz told them to believe. If you’re not a climatologist, STFU and enjoy the cartoon, like most of us do.
When I mention that there were dinosaur bones found in Alberta, a place that currently hovers around -30C most of the winter they disbelieve that at one time it was a warm place all year round. And yes,, that was after the continental shift.

I’d still enjoy this snow. Last time I had snow, it was nothing but flakes.

If Hobbes was a Siberian Tiger, it would snow much more Calvin, blame him.

I don’t mind snow, it’s ice I hate, actually I wonder if that’s why it’s called an ice age and not a snow age, just wondering…

If Calvin is lucky, he may get some sledding in before it warms up and he has to mow the lawn.

Mr Watterson sure loves to draw. Especially the Sunday strips where he really pulls out all the stops. Delightful. Awesome.
