This post, showing a photograph from Doug Mills of The New York Times generated over 1000 comments. To pick the best caption for this, I have a voting poll below. May the best caption win.
Here are the top ten eleven (well, I just had to add my own) captions based on our proprietary feedback model. The captions are rotated so that there is no regular top down order, and vote stuffing is discouraged by IP tracking.
The winner will get a personalized photo with their caption and front page post on WUWT with attribution, plus a bag of rock salt. Merry Christmas everyone! – Anthony
From the “Weather is not Climate” Department:
Three inches of snow in my Dallas front yard right now.
I haven’t seen this much snow in….er…
I haven’t seen any snow in December since… er…
I haven’t seen snow in December in a long long time.
Actually, the blank caption seems to be the smartest one to my eyes – the symbol of a stunned snowed president voiceless both from lack of success in Copenhaguen, snowy mess at home and an unexpected meteo-is-not-climate event : too much at the same time for being properly assimilated.
I have a caption proposal : ” Sir, John Holdren’s team wants to assure you they will keep supporting you in the fight against warming no matter what happens. “
Merry Christmas to Anthony, the mods and contributors. Many thanks for the information and entertainment.

This is clearly George Bush’s fault!
Merry Christmas to all the WUWT readers and to “Anthony and the Mods” (Dooo-WA!)
Gore gets it.
Merry Christmas Anthony and the moderators, you have done an exceptional job this year. Thankyou.

Merry Christmas or what ever holiday season you prefer to celebrate.
Thanks for great entertainment the last few weeks and your cutting edge coverage of the story of the year that the mainstream media is trying to hide under the rug.
(that’s the big lump in the rug that no one wants to talk about.)

Merry Christmas to all and a safe and Happy New Year!
“Its Global Warming, sir. We’ll be grounded until they get the data to show it’s warming again.”
It’s the rock salt that had me rolling around laughing.
Here are my nominations forn top ten. (The first two were mine.):
“Inconvenient!”
“Get outta here with that parka!”
“Shovel ready?” (This is the only one that’s also on Anthony’s list.)
WATTSUPWITHTHAT !!!!
I leave Biden in charge for ONE day…….
“Phew, good job I used the phrase “climate change”; otherwise I would have looked a right boob.”
”Looks cold…I hope they left the limo running”
“How can there be snow ? I’m sweating…”
“We are not amused”
“Obamandias”
It must suck to be in the MSM, having to pass up all these genuine gems.
Merry Christmas to us, one and all, and a WUWT New Year.
Merry Christmas and thanks to all.
All I want for Christmas is… let’s save the world from global warming alarmists!
Shovel Ready is brilliant invocation of a political buzzphrase outside of AGW politics, but its context would be lost on non-Americans. Declare a moral victory for it anyway!
Seriously off-topic…but I just had to do a heads-up….
Polluting pets: the devastating impact of man’s best friend

……which led me to an alternate caption….”Mr. President, tonight’s inflight meal will be pan seared Bo with a merlot reduction. The snow, sir? Mr. President, our efforts have been successful, and we’ve reversed global warming.”
OT, but our Sun is going to bed on the Christmas day?
The first thing I thought was, “Did Algore get here before me?” But Lord Monckton one is the one I like the best. Nothing I’d like better than to see a Lord rub a commie’s nose in his own mess.
“I *told* you we shouldn’t have given Al a lift home!”
Hey I think that top 10 or 11 is biased
Can’t you just see the NYT or some other newspaper publishing a study saying, in all seriousness, that we really do have warmer snow now? I can.
new email, got tired of the spammers!

“De-plane, de-plane, hide the de-plane!”
Merry Christmas to Anthony and all the moderators, and thanks for all you do!
“All your
baseemail are belong to us!”.
Merry Christmas and/or Happy New Year, folks.
We are the champions, my friends!
There are still several snow fall records happening every day in the United States since this photo was taken.
For example: today there was 14.2 inches of snow in a single day—in Oklahoma City!! That’s an all time single day record there!
And Texas has had several snow fall records—yes, Texas!
All pretty good.
My vote is “Mission Accomplished”.
(And I say that even though I am an ardent liberal supporter of the War in Iraq. And dang them conservative isolationists!)
