Just another effect of "global warming."

Upstate New York is still digging out from under the foot of snow that fell on them earlier in the week. According to the power company up there, there's some 40,000 that still don't have power.

Florida's experiencing record lows, as well.

Ironically, London had a snowstorm during a parliamentary debate over global warming legislation--the first October snowstorm since 1922.

Switzerland had a record snowstorm that briefly delayed the trains. According to their records, which stretch back to 1931, this snowstorm dumped the most of any October snowstorm, beating out the previous record of 14 cm, set in 1939, by 6 cm. To those of us that still use the old systems of measurements, they received 8 inches of snow.

The next time someone, other than one of my students who don't know any better, suggests that we need to "stop global warming before the flooding from rising ocean levels kills us all," I am going to slap the snot out of them.

I hate winter.
