What happened to good old global warming?

So as I am writing this, the snow canvassing my house if around a foot thick, if not thicker. It has been snowing non stop for the last 24 hours in Vancouver. From what I have heard, the snow and weather have been pretty bad in other parts of Canada as well as in the US. What really bothers me is how people always complain about the complications involved with the snow. It's so cold outside! How am I going to go home? How am I going to get to work? Well, maybe you're not supposed to go anywhere. I have two explanations for this, one for the religious folks and another for the atheists. If you are religious, the following explanation may appeal to you: God(or Gods)has let it snow so heavily so that you have a good reason not to go to work today. Enjoy it. Besides, you wouldn't want to upset God now would you? For the non-religious people, the following explanation is for you: Do you know that certain animals hibernate during the winter? The cold weather and snow are triggering an evolutionary response in you to remain in a warm, dark environment(like your house)for extended periods of time. Don't fight it. As for me, well I'm going to stay right here and enjoy the nice peace and quite.
