After much ado, hubbub, and rumpus, it finally snowed here yesterday morning. It didn't stick, and by the time I left the house, there was no evidence of any snow fall. So, I apologize to those of you who wanted pictures of the first snow fall -- you're not going to get them.

Yesterday's high was 31F, and last night's low was 17F. Right now, the temperature is 29F, and it "feels like" 25F with wind chill.

Brr.

The current forecast for next week is snow from Tuesday to Friday, with temperatures ranging from 26F to 39F. If you're one of the lucky people who is visiting here for Thanksgiving, be sure you pack some warm clothing. :)

In other news, the acronym PCPID, as I knew it when I woke up today, stands for Primary Care Physician Identification. I noticed earlier today that it also stands for President's Committee for People with Intellectual Diseases, which is some pork created in 1961 by President Kennedy for placating the 2-3% of Americans who are mentally retarded or suffer from another form of "intellectual disease." It seems this committee is mostly responsible for writing reports and delivering them to the president, whose responsibility, in turn, it is to add the report to the heaps of paper the White House recycles every day. Even the title of the 2004 report, A Charge We Have to Keep, reeks of people who just don't care. But, their web site does have a link to the Department of Homeland Security, so you can be certain you're still part of a terror machine, even while reading the latest White House fireplace fodder. Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen.
