Climate change

Apparently, winter storm Nemo - wait, wasn't that a fish that got flushed down the loo? - was so powerful because changes in our climate, propelled perhaps by the bool cheet from the Washington neocons, have exacerbated many of our weather events. Indeed, things have gotten pretty hairy on the climatological front - that's why we sold our sailboat last summer.As the picture on the left (credit: J. Persen) indicates, the snow fallen on the Crotch is as high as we have ever [not] seen it. Scary.

However, as there is more than one way to skin a cat (the coiner of that adage being a man or woman after my heart), so there are several ways to change the climate. One of the simplest is to go south in the winter. Take that, Jim Cantore.
