A smug, privileged reflection on the latest news

I live in a temperate rain forest, where (unless you ski/snowboard) snow is a rare and feared event.

Much to the amusement of typical Canadians (i.e., anyone who lives more than 100 miles north or east of our city) we here in Lotusland do NOT know how to cope with these rare atmospheric contributions to chaos.
