Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow

I don't like the snow.  It's really cold and wet and dirty and altogether unpleasant.  I've spent a fair amount of energy avoiding it.  So when I was awoken from my slumber this morning to the excited cries of "It's Snowing!!  It's Snowing!!"  I automatically thought "I'm in New Orleans.  You are a liar.  Stop shouting."  Unfortunately, they were not wicked lies.  It was really snowing.  In New Orleans.  WTF?

And not just a little snow, (Okay, maybe just a little snow when compared to places like Chicago or Long Island, but for SE Louisiana?) but at least a wet, slushy inch of wet miserable white all over everything.  And then, later in the day, it started to sleet.  I don't know who to blame... so I'm pointing my finger at global warming.  It's up to you Al Gore and Dennis Quaid!  Save us.  It's cold out there.
