APPLAUSE – AT 8:15 A.M. ET:  Well, the weather forecasters got it right this time, right on the button, in fact.  They are now forgiven for their previous strikeouts, when they predicted doom and damnation and we got one snowflake. 

We did in fact get a blizzard in New York.  Here in White Plains, about 22 miles north of Manhattan, the streets are remarkably clear thanks to overnight crews.  Our mayor has recently been charged with abusing his wife, and I worried that he might not have his mind on his work. 

Now, of course, we must all understand that this blizzard was caused by global warming.  And if it's 70 degrees tomorrow, that, too, will be caused by global warming.  If it rains:  global warming.  Dry spell:  global warming.  I get the feeling that the global warming religionists are the same people who invented one-size-fits-all waterproof gloves. 

Our power remained on.  Others in the area weren't so lucky. 

A blizzard, well handled.
