February Snowstorm

There is something reassuringly New England about a late winter / early spring snowstorm. Back in Nov / Dec, such a storm would have gripped the region with fear. Run to the stores. Buy milk and bread and eggs. Buy shovels and scrapers and ice melt. Hunker down for the big blow. The news channels would be all over it.

It's February. Snow? Really? 4" to 8" you say? Yawn. The new channels are doing their job, NBC 30 has a "Weather Plus Alert", but its all matter-of-fact.


Of more import, apparently, there are huge green stripes across the northeast US. Maybe Art Bell and his Chemtrail theorists are on to something....
