    1. I have a plastic one also. What I hate about the aluminum ones is that if you move the scoop to fast to toss the snow on top of the pile, the snow just slides right off to the ground at your feet.

    2. I’m so old I remember using a steel grain scoop back in the 70’s.

      And, I was thankful I didn’t have to use my hands…

  1. Oh, the best name I ever came up with.

    Alkizar Ocasio-Cortez; BAM! You hit that slug with a blast from your spice weasel, and you have culinary gold!

  2. I swear AOC has just GOT to be on Donald J. Trump’s payroll. She will be the Democrat who does the MOST to get the President re-elected in 2020.

  3. Occasional Kotex …. I truly pray that this “thing” never reproduces…along with her acolytes. But in the meantime, please continue your ongoing destruction of the Democrats. I so love to see leftists eating leftists. (NO Pun intended btw). With luck, in 12 years y’all be in the wastebin of history.

  4. It’s only snowed in the greater Los Angeles region 4 times since being first recorded in 1882 (last was in 1949 or 70 years ago). Two inches was the biggest snowfall in 1932 according to Wikipedia. Given that the arbitrary starting point for anthropogenic global warming is 1950, maybe in part BECAUSE 1949 was LA’s last snow year with no expectation of a repeat, it looks like a monkey’s wrench found its way into a massive Enviro-leftist PR machine. This to me is strong evidence that climate natural variability IS MUCH LARGER than the CHERRY PICKED heavily constrained history used by Warmists. And large variability in natural climate makes any claim that mankind has a significant “climate change” signature with a tiny change in trace gas concentration laughable garbage. The AGW story only works in an atmosphere of rabid ideological dishonesty.

    1. In my first year of college (1988), it snowed in Los Angeles basin (about 0.5 inch). Of course, I was out of town elsewhere.

  5. From the comments, paraphrased, Cortez should get a hysterectomy to go along with the lobotomy she has already had.

  6. “Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don’t turn this ship around and so it’s basically like, there’s a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult,”

    You know you dealing with a deep thinker and a brilliant scientific mind when the phrase “…so it’s basically like…” is used.

    1. I just LOVE reading her quotes! “So it’s like, really like, you know, like it’s just totally, like…” No wonder nobody has debated her Green New Deal – nobody understands a word out of her mouth!

      – Mind you, she doesn’t either…

  7. This quote is from an article published in 2015.

    Zharkova…used a new model of the sun’s solar cycle, which is the periodic change in solar radiation, sunspots and other solar activity over a span of 11 years, to predict that “solar activity will fall by 60 percent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the ‘mini ice age’ that began in 1645…”

    …At the National Astronomy meeting in Llanduno, north Wales last week, Zharkova said that a series of solar phenomena will lead to a “Maunder Minimum,” which refers to the seven decades, from 1645 to 1715, when the sun’s surface ceased its heat-releasing magnetic storms and coincided with the Little Ice Age, a period of chillier temperatures, from around 1550 to 1850 in Europe, North America and Asia, according to NASA. Look up Grand Solar Minimum

    1. We have to remind ourselves that snow in Malibu is not evidence for global cooling and that 50 years of global temperature measurements does not make us experts in our planet’s average temperature.
