The snow is already changing to rain.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I have little plane fear since I figure I will die if things go wrong, and I can't save myself.
See, this is exactly why I fear planes more than cars. If I'm at the wheel, I have at least some control over the outcome. Also, while I'm hardly an automotive expert, I at least know enough to judge if my car is running well or not, and I know when it got its last tune-up and so on. With planes, I don't have any of that. And that Alaska Air crash destroyed a lot of my trust in the system. It's a loss of control, and I hate that.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We still have snow by the UN

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The rain'll get there. It's stuck in a jam at Lexington and 3rd.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
As I was waiting in line at Wal-mart last night, the clerk wished the person in front of me "Happy Holidays," and she responded with "Merry Christmas. I know you're not allowed to say that here." She followed up with something about how it might make sense in, say, California, but my godness, who would be offended here?
I think this is hysterical since I get a much more "Christmas" vibe here than I ever did in NY.

I hate you
you suck
wintery mix
you're the worst of the worst
You tease with some pretty
then turn into a mess
You make walking a nightmare
you are not unlike cess
I hate you I hate you
weather, make up your mind
Just freeze and be done
stop being unkind.

Brava! Brava!
In about ten minutes, the day could end up going very very badly.
Sadly, nothing to do with weather.

Punishingly Intricate
See, this is exactly why I fear planes more than cars.
Not that I'm very afraid to fly but this is my issue too. And my biggest car crash fear is that I'll be in slow or stopped traffic and rammed from behind by something big enough to absolutely crush my car, like a tractor trailer or dumptruck, and there will have been nothing I can do to prevent it. So I'll almost always try to change lanes if I'm on the highway in heavy traffic and I see one of those behind me.

In sum: people who like control fear flying and like driving; people who like to not be responsible like flying and fear driving. Interesting.
