Snow in Mississippi

On Friday, the National Weather Service in Memphis reported a 100 percent chance of snow and sleet tonight following the return of cold weather today.

Meteorologist Marlene Mickelson said on Friday the fluctuations from warm to cold that Northeast Mississippians have seen lately are normal for this time of year - everything except the snow.

"It is a little bit abnormal to have snow falling in late February, especially in Tupelo," she said.

While I might shake my head at such foolishness, the alarmists and politicians are proposing such folly here in the U.S. Even if the economy were not in trouble, we could make much better use of the huge costs of any of the proposed mitigation approaches. As it is, I cannot imagine how the economy would survive such costs.
