So, Did it Snow By You on Sunday?

If anyone had/still has any doubts about whether or not 'global
warming' has started in ernest need only look to the US east coast
throughout the day on Sunday. But that was (still is, at this writing)
such an aberation, maybe global warming is underway and we just do not
appreciate it..

The news wire on Sunday was just full of items about the 'greatest
snowstorm ever' on the east coast', So I just picked one at random
which seemed to tell the story as well as any, with a reasonably
recent dateline on it, so as to include any late breaking
developments.

_Apparently_ the storm has subsided almost everywhere, now it is
just a matter of cleaning up the streets and sidewalks, and my
experience with this, based on the Chicago example at the end of
January, 1967 and again in April, 1978 is that they will be struggling
with the mess for at least a month, and probably two months, with
thick, muddy, dirty, ice-encrusted sidewalks and bus stops. Do take
care as you walk around over the next few days.

It appeared it was going to snow here also; very cloudy and cold on
Saturday; then, a few minutes of snow flurries in the afternoon and
that was it. Hooray for us, I guess.
