Omigod!  It's a continent-wide snowstorm, just as Global Warming predicted!  THE END IS NIGH!!!

Today in Cherry Hill NJ: freezing rain followed by snow and then rain.
Today in Wilmot ON: freezing rain followed by snow and then rain.
Yesterday in Colorado: ditto.

Finally got enough snow to cover the grass.  Shovelled the sidewalk and the driveway apron.  Didn't bother with the driveway itself, which will probably get melted by tonight's rain.

So I was talking to this biochemistry professor at a homeschooling-parents meeting.  It was the usual "Americans have a warped reality" and "the local water table is in serious trouble" and "local schools aren't good enough for my child" and so forth.  I think she was shocked when she realized that my response to Global Warming was to move to where she was already living.  Everybody thinks things will be better someplace else, but really you're just trading one set of problems for another.  Fursonally, I'd rather have western Ontario's problems than those of southern New Jersey (which are mostly local versions of national US problems).

My NJ house was supposed to be sold on Friday, but obviously it didn't happen.  The house is worth less than the mortgage, so I have to send some money before it can be sold.  I'm waiting to hear how much.  I hope my broker remembered to turn the heat on!  I left the air conditioning on when I left because late September is still "hot season" in New Jersey.
