After a record setting snowfall just 7 days ago, almost all of the 27 inches of snow that blanketed the New York area has melted. It won’t be missed.

What will be missed were the 60 ºF highs that took away the snow in the first place. They have been supplanted by a balmy high of 20 ºF. Now, I realize that my Midwestern friends are playing finger-sized violins at this remark but, after a January of 50 ºF weather, this is the deep freeze. Have you seen The Day After Tomorrow? If you come looking for me, I’ll be in the library.

Ah, global warming. Thank god we have the government to deny it’s existence or else we’d really be in trouble. But, enough about the weather.
