It's the top of the calendar, January 3rd, and I flew out of Buffalo this morning in a blinding snowstorm in what can charitably be called bone-cold arctic wind.

CNN reported today that Beijing is facing such bitter and heavy snowfall that they may shut down due to it, even while millions are still returning from holiday travels. They say it's he worst winter weather they've faced in 40 years.

The December summit in Copenhagen to formalize a world-wide treaty against Global Warming was itself uncharacteristically walloped with a heavy snowstorm unlike that seen in years.
Even as the United State's most esteemed Liberal Democrats pressed forward their doomsday agenda of Socialized taxation... ummm... 'scuze me... I meant to say Socialized Healthcare, Washington DC got... you guessed it... snowed under.
Gotta love God... he's got a great sense of humor.
I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message
