The storm, which rolled in Friday, dumped 20.4 inches of snow on Columbus, breaking the city's previous record of 15.3 inches set in February 1910, the weather service said. Cincinnati and Cleveland received about a foot of snow.

[That's a statistically relevent 33% increase from an early past century record!!]

Ohio winter storm: 'It's horrible out there'

We might need to build more of these technologies to heat the planet up:

jabailo, we've been over this before.  There's a difference between weather and climate.

Weather refers to single incidents or localized conditions.  Climate refers to longer-term trends and patterns over larger areas.

Just 'cause Ohio recently experienced a snowstorm, that doesn't mean a new ice age is upon us, or that global warming doesn't exist.

Likewise, just because San Diego's average temperature isn't as high as it was a decade ago, that doesn't mean the entire planet is coolin'.

Get some global perspective into the mix before declaring something as a result of global climate, okay?

I also suppose it didn't occur to ya that just because we call it global warming, that doesn't mean that every parta the planet will get warmer, did it?  Global climate change is likely to alter many weather and localized systems so that certain regions will be influenced in certain ways.  Some places may get colder or wetter than they are now, and other places may get warmer and dryer.  But those will mostly be localized or small-regional changes.

What's of the most concern is the global picture/trend.

Of course, as TP pointed out you still lack the 8th grade definitions of "climate" and "weather," but that's why we love you! Nothing says "tedium" (you can look that one up) like repeating the obvious for you over and over!
