Snow Falling on Never-Actually-Endangered States

Yes, I'm reusing a post title. The pun is too good not to reuse.

Courtesy of Marc Sheppard at American Thinker comes this notification of the fact that on Feb. 12, 2010 an unprecedented event occurred. There was measurable snowfall on the ground in all 50 states of the United States.

University of Oklahoma meteorology graduate student Patrick Marsh is assembling a slide show of photographs of the snow in each state. So far he has pictures from 49 of the 50 states. The only unphotographed snow is in Hawaii, where there are apparently small patches on the steep north slope of Mauna Kea; photographs of this snow are still being sought and/or verified.

Mr. Marsh is going to place these photos on Google Earth eventually. For now, they are viewable at his blog.

My only question is how many years in a row are we going to have to have winters like this one before the AGW zealots give up on their cockamamie theory? Especially since even the revelation that the data and research supporting their theory was essentially cooked up out of sheer desperation and is wholly unreliable? (If you haven't heard about the Climategate scandal by now, no link from me is going to help. Use Google. Or Bing. Or Yahoo. Take your pick.)
