Now is the time of frosty rituals and rememberances of warmer times. The liner goes into my coat, sweaters come out of storage, my wife starts making threatening sounds while waving gloves at me.

No shovel needed to clear the driveway. No driving on icy roads with morons in SUVs. Just sweet slumber; dreaming dreams of salmon and picnic baskets. Bears may be the number one threat to America according to Stephen Colbert, but they sure know how to handle winter.

New York State to the south of us got hammered with record snow fall. They lost power and most public buildings were closed.
