1,000 words for snow

I realized something profound while I was Billy-goating over innumerable snowbanks this morning.

The word "snow" actually has the word "no" built right into it.

As one of my co-workers said, after having taken the subway a single stop to avoid the slush of the city, "This is not the winter that global warming was supposed to produce."

Amen, brother.

"Global Warming" is, like, so 2001. The proper term is "Climate Change" = warmer summers and colder winters.

In 10 years you'll fondly look back on the winter of 2009 and yearn for such little snow.

Some groups say we're heading for another ice age while oceans are rising as ice caps the size of Manhattan are melting away.

I say we all head of to Zambia and take helicopter rides over grandiose waterfalls while we wait for the aliens to come down and render vengeance on our planet.
