[who knows what evil?]

I get a kick out of the Red England-centric media whining about the 'catastrophic' snow 'storms' that roll thru here every few winters or so...you have not lived until you have experienced a high-plains blizzard in one of the Dakotas, Wyoming, or Minnesota. The Red Englanders/New Yorkers would p*ss themselves to death right on the spot. I have a feeling that many areas in Red England will be looking at bare ground within a few days following the warm spell that is heading this way this weekend.

Oh, woe is us!

Those things travel clear down to Southern New Mexico! My folks in NE New Mexico remember cattle freezing during many a storm.

The storm of Jan 1962 socked in the area from Carlsbad NM clear to the Ozarks. The thaw broke up many of the paved roads in those areas.

They have forgotten their own New England past! The GREAT Blizzard of New England. Again, 1888.
