I already got serenaded with that once today, ita.
Anyway, there's cold/snow/wintery weather, and then there's just fucked up weird weather. We are having the latter. With snow.

It's cloudy and dark but otherwise not terribly dramatic here.

Ha! I was going to make a similar joke, but decided that no one but me likes Pynchon jokes. I was wrong!
Heh, I was thinking of BUCKAROO BANZAI when I made the joke, but, hey, it always doubles as a little good LOT 49 humor.
I keep trying to come up with a set of key strokes that emulates the trumpet, but the best I've been able to do is (and it looks like html doesn't like one of the characters):

That color sky is part of the classic "watch out for tornadoes" symptoms. I would be in the basement, except I guess you can't really make a tornado in Manhattan, can you? Do they require some open space?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do they require some open space?
I know one ripped through Detroit while I was living there, and everyone freaked out because that wasn't supposed to happen in a city. Didn't seem to have started out in the flatlands either. It was at, like, 7 mile and Lodge.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
except I guess you can't really make a tornado in Manhattan, can you?
Usually the tornados are afraid of giant lizards (especially Gamera), which are more likely to be found in major metropolitan areas.

Re tornados and cities
We have tornadoes here, but I thought we never had earthquakes in Rochester, but I experienced one!

Man, Feingold just gets better and better. From this weekend:
“As I said at the Kenosha County listening session, gay and lesbian couples should be able to marry and have access to the same rights, privileges and benefits that straight couples currently enjoy,” Feingold added. “Denying people this basic American right is the kind of discrimination that has no place in our laws, especially in a progressive state like Wisconsin. The time has come to end this discrimination and the politics of divisiveness that has become part of this issue.”
Feingold noted that removing the prohibition against gay marriage would not impose any obligation on religious groups. He indicated that no religious faith should ever be forced to conduct or recognize any marriage, but that civil laws on marriage should reflect the principle of equal rights under the law.
