    A discussion with anyone who even discusses the whole climate change/global warming story is one who redefines words as you talk; therefore, by definition, you cannot talk to someone who doesn't work with fixed definitions you both can agree on.

    Imagine a business running this way...oh wait, define a business first.

        I have never been to Niagara Falls. For some reason, it just doesn't fall on my list of places to see. I thoroughly appreciate the film Niagara with Joseph Cotton and Marilyn Monroe, however.
        I just think those pics are amazing! Looks like frozen explosions. I did happen to live in Chicago during a record-breaking(at the time) cold snap-I think it was a week and 1/2 with temps in the negative double digits. It was crazy. and we lived in this historic old house-built in the early 1840s so there was that...COLD!

          Probably Feb/Mar of '96. 6 weeks in Burlington where the temp was below zero the whole time. I was in a hotel (Pzzazz if you remember it) where the windows had about 6 inches of frozen condensation around the edges by the time it finally warmed up.

            lol. yes-I remember it well-only about 25 minutes from where I grew up. very near by where the first author to come up with the line 'Who is John Galt' was raised. Why were you hanging out there for 6 weeks?

                whoa. small wtf world. let's talk. you're a BS. did you ever do the shac-I don't know how to spell it trail? all the bridges? ok-what about frog legs over on the other side of the bridge? what about the park. I used to sit there in front of the statue of Black Hawk in Crapo for hours and look over the river. I was closer to Geode and so spent more time canoeing there but...whoa. Hiraghm! are you reading this?

                  My wife grew up in Massena. We'd go visit the family at Christmas. One year the measured temp was -30 for a few days in a row. I sat in the passenger seat to scrape the windows on the inside while her dad drove so we could go pick up her grandmother in Malone.

                      Massena is in NY not far from Burlington and is on the the St. Lawrence. I've been to Burlington a few times as we used to have relatives that lived south of there. Currently I'm about 90 miles from Niagara on Lake Ontario. I didn't mean to butt into your conversation but the geography is a little familiar. We would cross the bridge for frog legs in Cornwall Canada, but I figure you're speaking of a different bridge.

                        yes. Iowa and the Mississippi River. That is crazy how the falls are all frozen. Does that happen regularly?

                          Oh my, this is hilarious! I thought you were referring to Burlington, Vermont with the references to the cold! LOL. Never been to Burlington, Iowa.

                          It is unusual for the Falls to freeze over like this. I've seen them in winter many times and they are stunning with the ice formations. The changing colored lighting at night is quite a show. If I wasn't in Florida right now, I would definitely make the drive to the Falls. If they are still frozen when I go home, I'll go see them.
