Well, the high northern coven of malevolent agencies generally responsible for New England's weather obviously have their jumpers in a bunch over some perceived slight. Consequently, the University has closed YET AGAIN due to stormy weather. For the benefit of those subscribers who live in warm climates governed by non-embittered spirits, we hinterland denizens are experiencing our third snow "event" already this month. And, if that information isn't enough to induce you guys down there to caress your local palm trees with fawning affection, realize it isn't even WINTER yet, astronomically or meteorologically. Of course, as a preternaturally delusional fellow told me yesterday, "Look on the bright side: we're experiencing a good ol' fashioned New England Winter." (again...still autumn...) That's like telling a condemned French aristocrat, "Look on the bright side: Our tumbrils have new seat warmers." We're open tomorrow...we think. Cheers Edward
