Letters to the editor: Snow, ice puts focus on global warming

In order for schools to reopen, businesses to do business, power to be supplied to the elderly and butter to be purchased sans-anarchy, I will do my part by firing up the tractor, the diesel pickup, the mini-van, the company car, the generator and the chainsaw and allow them to idle away the hours.

I wish Al Gore would stop by and help out with our "inconvenient truth." I could use some help shoveling global warming off the roof.
