7-Day Forecast for Latitude 42.65°N and Longitude 73.78°W

There used to be a saying: everybody's talking about the weather but you can't do a darn thing about it. Talkig about the weather, like sports, was always a good ice breaker: boy, it's hot; is it ever going to stop raining; you could freeze your [insert unmentionable body part] out there, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Well, nowadays we find ourselves on the edge of catostrophic climate change for millions of our sisters and brothers on our "fragile island home," Earth, and we can do something. We can reduce carbon emissions. We can plan for disasters and organize for emergencies---on a global scale. We can help to reallocate millions who will bear the brunt of suffering. Or, we can allow the refuseniks, deniers, their backers, appeasers, and enablers to set the public policy agenda. Dylan wasn't singing about the weather, but he was right: a hard rain's gonna fall.

Snowy Monday to you,
