Screw global warming. It’s a lie. False alarm. It has to be, what with the was mother nature keeps dumping this snow onto the northeast. Well, at least it feels like it. For the third time this winter I had to make my homeward commute in what I would lovingly term as dreadful conditions.
The Parkway last night had been transformed into one gigantic slush puddle and five lane wide stretches were transformed into single lane roads at worst, double lane at best. The side road — barely touched by salt or plow. My usual half hour drive from the train station was closer to an hour by the time everything was said and done. But on a brighter note, those plow crews did a damn good job of clearing snow from the asphalt overnight, because the highways were remarkably snow free from my morning commute.
Still, there is some kind of greater issue at stake here. Namely this wretched winter wether that has done enough to complicate my life without the added benefit of keeping my home from work. I must be getting punished for working from home last winter (i.e. getting off easy). And to think that we’re only at the half way mark right now.
So what other nasty tricks do you have up your sleeve for us, mother nature?

Well out here in Frederick, MD we have at least a foot of snow. And I love it. I’ve been able to play hockey on my friends frozen pond every weekend for the last 3 weeks. I say the colder (not below 15 degrees) the better.
57 degrees and the sun is shining. Dear, pass me the lemonade please.
yuk yuk yuk
it was supposed to get to 80 here on monday, but we only hit 70 something I think. Sunday, however, I was out weeding my yard in shorts and a t-shirt while sweating. Love this Florida weather.
But aren’t you the same guy who used to sweat in Jersey wne it was like 5 degrees out?
sure, but then I was used to living in New Hampshire. 5 degrees was hot for there
