Hey, look what happened.

It's more than a sprinkling!

The good thing about this is that the kids won't be tricked into going out in T-shirts and shorts. There are many newcomers to Madison who haven't yet figured out that you can't guess the temperature looking at the calendar. There are plenty of others who just don't care what the temperature is and refuse to cover their bare arms and legs in the springtime, but even they, perhaps, will show some respect for the in-your-face cold weather that is snow. At least they won't be out in flip-flops.

Here in New England they wouldn't.

29 Global Warming Spring Degrees in NJ this AM. Gotta admit the five inches of snow we got on Friday was gone by Sunday (but the remaining snow of a looooong winter remain).

Greenpeace founder now a skeptic.

Shorts is governed more by wind that temperature.

April snow even in Central Ohio isn't unusual.

I remember it snowed in late May on my college graduation day in Upstate New York. Of course that was the '70s. It was definitely cooler then. The first snow regularly arrived in September. Now it is usually the second half of October. By my own undocumented personal recollection, FWIW.

Of course I don't remember the '30s, which in the US, the country with the best thermometer coverage, BTW, it was much warmer.

I would say it is a Spring-kling.

Looks like you received the same amount as we did in St. Paul overnight. Most of it will be gone by evening with a high of 39 today.

"It's more than a sprinkling!"

That's a rain reference.

More than a "dusting"

It's apparent you don't have (young) kids. They don't care.

I like this

"But what may make the situation different this time is that Obama no longer has the means to recover. He has lost so much ground, burned so many bridges and double-crossed too many allies to turn the situation around with light-footprint methods."

But one sprinkles sugar.

"One sprinkles glitter."

Reminds me of the story of the woman who carefully bathed before going to the GYN appointment. Then she absentmindedly sprinkled glitter instead of baby powder on her genitals,. The doctor was quite impressed.

"What are we celebrating ?"

It was 27 degrees when I left the house at 7, this morning. Not that cold, really. I expect to see shorts, today.

The scientific method was invented specifically to mitigate conflation of science, philosophy, faith, and even fantasy. The chaotic nature of the system establishes that accuracy is inversely proportional to the product of time and space offsets from an established reference. There are few people who will acknowledge the inherent limits of the scientific domain, but would rather indulge in liberal assumptions of uniformity and independence, and patterns drawn through inference.
