Global Cooling

Just a few weeks ago, I was fearing global warming like never before. I found myself, in the middle of February, wearing sandals, shorts, and sun screen. And then this past weekend happened. As eluded to by J.Bro, it actually SNOWED in parts of San Francisco. Granted, it was the high parts (T.Peaks). But that's just wrong wrong wrong. The local news got all excited - much like the Cleveland news gets pumped about 12 inches of snowfall overnight. The SF anchorpeople were actually begging listeners to SEND IN their own CAMERA PHONE PHOTOS to prove to the viewing audience that people were sledding on hail in the Outer Sunset. I find it extremely amusing that Californians are so easily wowed by white things falling from the sky. I was far less amused when I woke early Sunday morning (~2am???) to loud tip-taps on my window from icy hail and the rush of a waterfall-esque sheets of rain. I rose to look out the window and find my neighbors jumping with glee in the icy wetness. Jiggity was fast asleep, reporting the next morning that he woke for about 30 seconds and thought to himself that this was the sort of weather-induced noise that might keep him awake for a hours. Not so. He's Alaskan after all.
