and then the big hand dips below 32

paperhaus October 23rd, 2006

It is October 23rd and S N O W I N G in Pittsburgh. On October 6, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported:

By the end of the century, the length of the winter snow season could be cut in half and the character of the seasons will change significantly if emissions are not reduced.

Eh, this is not the case for 2006.

We’re on track to repeat the October 23rd .4″ record for from 1969, I think. Oh, maybe I exaggerate. The snow isn’t really sticking; it’s just steadily falling. I’d like to say it’s a fluke, but there’s a frozen smell in the air that I’d forgotten. I fear winter is here. That damn ozone hole isn’t doing me any good at all.

    I couldn’t find any contact info on your site, so I figured I’d just leave a comment.

    I thought you might be interested in an event called PodCamp Pittsburgh, a FREE New Media (un)Conference on Nov. 11th and 12th at Pittsburgh Filmmakers. It’s a FREE meet-up for podcasters and their fans, bloggers and their readers, and anyone else interested in the new wave of internet news and entertainment. We’re expecting some of the top names in internet news and entertainment, such as Andrew Baron of Rocketboom, Brian Conley of Alive in Baghdad, Chris Brogan of Network2, and if we reach our sponsorship goals, the folks from Tiki Bar TV. It’s free to attend with registration at http://www.PodCampPittsburgh.com, and we’re still seeking sponsors if you know of anyone who might like to lend a hand.

    Snow? What snow?! And we live on the same street!! Obviously I was asleep when it happened. Do I miss everything because I go to bed early? Damn.
