Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 21, 2023

How dreadful for Lio of wanting to go sledding and making monstrous, animated sculptures. (Never heard of such book either.)

So that’s where he lives

Just needs to move to Buffalo!

If you’re using a time machine to find snow in South Jersey, you’d better get there early enough before it becomes yellow.

We don’t need snow. This is a tropical island… but it can become unbearably cold in the mountains.

I think we will all be nostalgic for the way our Winters, Springs, Summers and Falls used to be. I already am.

I do miss snow.

In our case, it was only two years ago…

Yes! Great so far. No 3 feet of snow to clear, no 2 hour commutes. No having to keep putting the mailbox back up. Just got my spring cleanup down a month early. If you want snow move to Canada.

Buh-bye, snow. See you next year!

Arizona is supposed to get a big snowstorm tonight and tomorrow.

I don’t think frozen water vapor is what you find searching South Jersey for snow.

In NYC, we had ONE snow this years and it was so light it was gone by the end of the morning.

You don’t wanna know!

I too appreciate the milder winters, but I am also becoming increasingly concerned about lack of melt water for crops and aquifers, foods disappearing from grocery shelves, shipping container farms becoming a thing and the fact that Soylent Corp. now exists. Is it really too late? Have we passed the Rubicon and just don’t know it or even do we even care?

I grew up in S. Jersey (Cherry Hill). I remember sledding down the I-295 overpass hill on Chapel Ave.

Yep, it’s been that way here in Central Jersey, too. It’s happened some years. Then comes March – in like a lion who thrives on snow. I figure we’re due maybe 3 feet in March.

Big snow just an hour away from here, in MN, today

Our headlines:

“Storm threatens, epic snow

18 to 25 inches or even more"

Here in CA we miss rain, although the last couple of months have been different.

Is that in South Africa…

My wife (who is from central NJ) doesn’t really miss it. I’m from rural central PA and rather prefer having four seasons, some with snow.

Oh, Lio. You don’t need a time machine. Just get in the car and drive north or northwest. They have all the snow you’re missing. (I’ll write you a note excusing your absence from school for a week or so.)

In the DC suburbs, it may be 80° tomorrow.
