My son is not feeling well this morning, apparently a chest cold and is sleeping. I woke to a flurry of email this morning, most of it spam, so before I had my coffee, I sent most of it off to Spam Cop but also sent off my friend's messages too. Sorry, D. I did cancel the reporting on that message, and hope the rest get drawn and quartered. I then proceeded downstairs to make the coffee. Ahh, Gevalia Mocha. I'm tempted to make a full pot, but then I'd be bouncing around the walls like a super ball in a bathroom.

A look out the window shows the bane of snow lovers, rain. It's February, and in New England, we should have snow, regardless. And some town have a lot of snow, and have to remove it from the streets and take it elsewhere. I know that they did that in Montreal according to my friend K, but they also do that in Massachusetts. I know the snow removal budgets are hurting, in one Massachusetts town, they will begin to remove snow from one side of the street only. What good is that? Why was it that when we were kids, and the snow fell in three foot increments all the time, that they had snow removal budgets that would last the winter?

For that story, we visit the home of a climatologist, who will show us graphs and charts that point to a little less than 1 degree average warming of our winters in New England. This is the average, and we will get snows but on average, it will be rain or freezing rain and ice (argggggh!)

A look around the blogosphere shows a lot of people complaining about the snow and cold. A closer look shows that many of those bloggers are in Canada, where you expect it to be cold. I do have to admit, though, that -33 is very, very cold.

Some random thoughts for a rainy Saturday morning.
