Jim Graves writes ?Could someone please call Al Gore and tell him we need some warmer weather? Seeing that this weather is so serious, let's all be reminded that the Creator is the One we should call. And that there is a reason the weather is so against us. I am 64, and have never seen a winter half this cold, nor half this snowy. - - - - We should stop being so parochial. World wide this has been the fifth warmest winter in weather recording history. Rain storms drowned Europe while the US west coast was experiencing a drought. There is a near record breaking heat wave in Australia. Remember that the USA encompasses only about 2% of the world's land area and the east coast a fraction of that. It is very cold here but weather mavens consider our conditions a mere blip on the chart of global warming. As for the snow. My wife and I regularly take a two week XC ski vacation in Vermont. This year it snowed so little that we could only get out on the trails three times in 15 days. Yet in our home in the Hudson Valley we had four successive twelve inch blizzards. Buck up. It will be summer soon and we can start complaining about the heat. Larry Z
