[Magdalen] This is nuts

[Charles Wohlers]

It was 62 today at the nearby Morrisville-Stowe airport - undoubtedly a 
record for the date, and maybe for February as well. Not good skiing 
weather, needless to say, in spite of all the snow which is still on the 
ground. Because of this, plus rain in the forecast, we have a flood watch 
from tomorrow night through Sunday.

Meanwhile, here's what happens to snow on a metal roof once temperatures 
warm up: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cwohlers/

Today in Broadway, VA, it was 75 degrees. On FEBRUARY 23. I have crocus,
hellebores, crested iris, and even daffodils blooming, We had the screen
doors wide open. I was working out in the studio with the screen door wide
open, which I have been doing for several days this week, during which the
temperature has been in the upper 60s every day.

Add to that the fact that it has snowed exactly once since the New Year,
and that was only about an inch, occurred overnight, and disappeared later
in the day. We haven't had a lot of rain, either. Most of our wintry days
have been in the 40s, which is pretty abnormal.

But there is no climate change, according to the party of my
congresscritter, who practically invented the word "smarmy". I haven't
heard him say anything about it, but then he rarely says much, except to
echo the party line. (He has also refused to come home for a town hall, the
little coward.) However, this is NUTS!
