RE:As I scrap the 1/2 inch ice on my windshield Well maybe just for this year at least: The Weather Channel reported that a storm it has termed Winter Storm Elliott could become a bomb cyclone and ravage the region around the Great Lakes. Meanwhile, temperatures across the US are set to hit the lowest levels for the Christmas holiday in 39 years. (it is called climate 'change' folks. As the jet stream shifts it no longer keeps arctic air up north, now sometimes that air slides all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. 20 years ago did you ever hear of a 'polar vortex'? Or a 'heat dome'? Think about it. Happy Winter Solstice!)
