A Little Disappointed

Ed Morrissey writes at Hot Air about the cold winter a’coming due to a weak El Nino this year. OK, fine.

He then scores a few political points on “noted meteorologists John Kerry and Barbara Boxer”. Also, fine. Great, even – those two chuckleheads deserve it.

He then writes, as an addendum:

It looks like a colder and longer winter for us in Minnesota, too, and that follows the 2008-9 winter, one of the coldest and longest in the last 15 years. The temperatures have dropped 15 degrees since last week. We got snow in October last year, and we may see that this year again, although it will have to drop down quite a bit farther for that. This follows a summer in which we never saw a 90-degree day. Global warming? Not so much in the upper Midwest.

Sigh. Since when does a cool summer mean a cold winter? Or vice-versa? Wasn’t the latter case exactly what was so annoying about the MSM, and especially the local MSM when there would be a string of hot days in the summer? That’s when those stories implying some sort of proof of Global Warming would appear.

We have weather in MN, Ed. Sometimes it’s cold, sometimes it isn’t. It’s just weather.

I’m a bit disappointed.
