By my count there have been 1,032 gray, overcast days this winter. I may be off by a couple days, but no more than that. I can't remember a winter more bleak than this one. I don't think that I'm in the same stage as my 94 year old mother who has been telling me that "she can't remember" having as much snow as we've had this winter. She is correct; she can't remember. However, I can (I think) and this winter is the worst. Yes, last year it snowed on approximately 389 days during the winter (I didn't keep count back then so that's why I say "approximately"), but once it finished, the sun came out and the days, while cold and white, were at least cheery.
Apparently, it's not just the Mid-Atlantic that's been damp and dreary. I saw an article relating how zoo animals in northern Mexico died due to the cold. Where's Al Gore when you need him? He could have been fed to those poor animals and the extra calories might have kept them alive. Even better, zoo officials could have had Al speak to the animals and the ensuing hot air might have kept them warm for the next two winters. The convenient truth is that Al should feel right at home in a zoo since he is a shining jackass.
You may surmise from the above that I don't believe in global warming. On the contrary, I not only believe it, I'm for it. I just want to know when it will start.
