It hit 71 degrees here in the Big Apple yesterday, obliterating the previous record, for that date, by 8 degrees.  Tomorrow snow is expected.  The axis maybe tilting away from the sun, here in the northern hemisphere, but the thermometer did not get the memo.

YES   IT  IS WARM  AND  SUNNY/WATCHING  THE   NEWS,   PEOPLE  SNOWED   IN    UP  NORTH///DREAMS  OF  A  WHITE  CHRISTMAS, OH NO//////

1,968 Winters

Got up this morning
feeling good & black
Thinking black thoughts
Did black things
Played all my black records
And minded my own black bidness

Put on my best black clothes
Walked out my black door
And
Lawd have mercy
White Snow!
