NSIDC has made a select set of images viewable through the popular interactive desktop application, Google Earth. Currently, Google Earth users can view images showing permafrost, snow, sea ice extent, and photographs of glaciers. Distribution of permafrost, snow, and ice are displayed as overlays on the Google Earth base map. Snow and ice information are updated daily. The glacier photographs are indicated by individual "push pins" that reveal the actual photograph when clicked.

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! -Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne
Fox News reports on James M. Taylor's presentation at Heartland's Conference:
Here in central New Hampshire, we got another 10-12 inches of snow last night. It's been a winter of heavy precipitation, with sleet giving way to wet snow which turns into powder which eventually freezes into rock solid ice.
Why don't you write about all climate modelers' in the world being stumped, stymied, and devastated by proof that there was no ice in the Arctic 55 million years ago, in sharp contradiction with your f*(# models?
