And here is why:
"Residents dig out, thousands without power after ‘unbelievable’ snow" by Christopher J. Girard, Globe Correspondent, and Martine Powers, Globe Staff
Hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents remained without power today after a major nor’easter that dumped rain and up to 30 inches of wet, heavy snow. Authorities said the storm played a role in three deaths, two in a car accident and one because of a power line downed by the storm.
This is really the limit for the global-warmers. They not only look like fools after today (and the last two record-setting and brutal winters), but they also look like liars now. What's worse is they twist this to say it is proof of their truth. Even my football friend noted that. No one believes them anymore.
One National Weather Service forecaster expressed astonishment at the magnitude of the storm, which hit the state unusually early, two days before children were expected to make their rounds for Halloween.
“Fifteen thousand years ago, in the Ice Age, I’m sure they had more snow,” said Bill Simpson. “But for the modern day, this is unbelievable.”
I guess that is why it is called climate change now.

Governor Deval Patrick, who declared a state of emergency Saturday night, said it would likely be days, not hours, before power is restored for most families. He explained that the situation was unlike the aftermath of Hurricane, when repairs on a few central power lines restored power to whole neighborhoods. He said this snowstorm’s problems were much more decentralized.
Then I'm one of the lucky ones.
“This is a house-by-house, branch-by-branch kind of response,” Patrick said at a news conference in Agawam in Western Massachusetts, the portion of the state that saw the heaviest snows....
Simpson, the weather service forecaster, said Jaffrey, N.H., led the region with a record 31.4 inches of snow. In hardest-hit Western Massachusetts, Plainfield reported 30.8 inches of snow, while Ashfield reported 25.5, and Tolland reported 25....

Power just came back about a half-hour ago, readers. I'll see what I can come up with after this lost day.
Speaking of lost days, there was not a Sunday Boston Globe anywhere in this town today and I didn't even miss it.
