Global Warming

Winter in the northeast, as well as many other parts of the country, is not going to end. This morning, March 6, it was -8 in Rochester. That's right, MINUS 8! We have not seen our lawns except for one brief warmup in January. I have a nice base of 15 inches of snow, which apparently from the 10 day futurecast will be sticking around for quite awhile.

A fifteen inch base is what some ski resorts used to like in winters past, not what should be in my lawn on a permanent basis. Where is this thing they call Global Warming? Did a volcano explode in some deep part of the Pacific effecting weather patterns across the United States? Are we back in the "Year Without a Summer"?

People around here are excited because Friday the high temperature might reach 37. We will only be 5 degrees below the normal temperature for this time of year. Oh boy. But don't worry, another cold front is moving in to our area next Wednesday, featuring highs of 22. Don't get out the shorts, singlets and suntan lotion quite yet. This year's Running of the Green five mile race might be run in the white, white snowy roads.

How is the weather in your neck of the woods?
