Damn

Snow coming back.  This winter thing is just going on too long, as usual.

I wish Global Warming would sort itself out.  I was nurturing a theory for years that we were really in a secular cooling trend, and that putting all that greenhouse gas up there was cushioning the blow.   The contrarian in me would still like to believe that; or, conversely, that in fact the waters really are rising and before long St. Louis will have a view of the ocean.

But the truth seems to be that it's just weather.  This winter isn't going to be the longest or shortest or coldest or warmest or wettest or driest we've ever had.  Just the usual, pain-in -the-butt winter.  A big, grey view to the east, over a leafless landscape, to the horizon; no ocean. A blast of cold at the end of the day, as I march into the garage, heading home.
