The snowpocalyptic snowmageddon that swept through Oklahoma rewarded Oklahoma State students with massive amounts of snow, bitterly cold temperatures, and four total snow days. It seems strange that all of this crazy winter weather hit like it did, considering the fact that just a few days prior to the icy attack it was in the mid 70s outside. Now, just under a week later, temperatures are rising again, melting the snow and bringing those sickened with cabin fever outdoors. Could this bipolar weather pattern be a result of global warming? We turned to Al Gore and Fox News to find out.

In this news article, Al Gore explains Snowmaggedon to be a consequence of man-made global warming. He states that the rise in global temperatures is creating all kinds of havoc, causing colder winters, hotter summers, and more severe storms. Fox News interviewed climate scientists, some of which strongly disagreed with Gore's analysis of Global Warming. One says that Gore has no appreciation for large natural variability in weather. Another argues that it is not hard to get temperatures cold enough for snow in a world experiencing Global Warming. Fox News goes as far as blaming the "incompetent media" for failing to provide readers with critical context regarding this climactic phenomenon.

Fox News took the controversial subject of Al Gore's theory of Global Warming and left it largely unresolved in any direction for the reader. Can we call this a climate change, or just ignore all of the crazy weather shifts and call it "a really bad two weeks of winter weather surrounded by spring-like temperatures"? We think Fox left this story the way they did to stick to what they are known for; fairly conservative political positions.

Either way, the snow was fun while it lasted. With that, we leave you with a song:

SNOW!!!!...klahoma

Where the cold front's sweepin' down the plain

And the piles of sleet, beneath your feet

Follow right behind the freezing rain.

Snow!!!......Klahoma

Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I

Travel home from work and hope some jerk

Doesn't wreck our car in passing by!

We know we belong to the land

But it could use some more salt and more sand

That's why we say...WHOA!

We're the sliding the other way...YIKES!

We're only sayin'

You're slick as snot SNOWklahoma

SNOWklahoma SNOW-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

SNOWklahoma, SNOW-K!
