DECEMBER 5, 2010

Sunday Dec. 5, 2010, Winter has arrived. Three feet of snow in Buffalo NY, 1.25 inches in Roanoke Va., Temperature here this morning in the 20s are more than an indication. Heavy snows in England that closed train service in much of the kingdom and completely north of Glasgow. Pictures of snow in Spain, suggest that perhaps we still have some time before we will be inundated by the rising seas from global warming.

On that subject, even before humans polluted the air there have been cycles of warming and a few centuries ago extreme winters.

The world of local blogging is dull this morning with the exception of two intermittent bloggers posting rebuttals.

Since I have no words of wisdom to share as of 8am, perhaps you too can enjoy this work of Peter Hurd "The Eve of St. John" reproduced on a JAMA cover. The story page can be enlarged by clicking on it.
