Rain

Seems that Boston is supposed to get whats left of that storm that dumped snow in Seattle, Chicago and parts of Oklahoma and Texas. Thankfully we'll only be getting rain as temps are in the 60s. Usually we would have had our first snow fall around Thanksgiving time, however this year we're still waiting. Not that I'm complaining its not very often you get to enjoy a mild winter in Boston.

You do have to wonder though if its at all related to Global Warming or is it Climate Change? It seems that after last year's terrible hurricane season with Katrina we were all bracing for another wild weather season. However it seems that this year has been very quiet, despite predictions by NOAA. In 2006 there were no named hurricanes that made landfall and it seems El Nino is to blame or thank? Of course blaming a mild start to winter on Global Warming while it may make for fun (or dire) predictions on the planet's future, is probably not very accurate.
