Global Warming zealots always try to use anecdotal evidence to support their moonbat doomsday theories, so I feel compelled to counter that with some of my own. (Evidence that is, not moonbat theories.) Minnesota is recording near record low temperatures, and cold Arctic air has plunged as far south as the Gulf Coast.

Thermometers registered a low of 54 degrees below zero at Embarrass, Minnesota.

"You keep living, but it gets old after a while," said Christine Mackai, the town clerk for the community of about 1,400 people in northeast Minnesota.

Minnesota's record is 60 below, set on February 2, 1996, in Tower, about 10 miles north of Embarrass...

While below-zero readings stayed in the upper Midwest, thermometers dropped below the freezing mark all the way to the Gulf of Mexico coast.

The morning low was 28, with wind chills in the upper teens, at Mobile, Alabama, Gulfport-Biloxi, Mississippi, and Pensacola, Florida. A hard freeze warning was in effect overnight into Tuesday morning for parts of Mississippi, the weather service said.

The record cold temperature for Minnesota was set a scant 9 years ago. No doubt that is a byproduct of President Clinton's good environmental housekeeping.
