Hitherto unsuspected link between ecommerce and global warming

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the purchase of new winter recreational gear will substantially alter locate climate conditions. To wit, the arrival of a snowshoe set and poles on the same day that the weekend weather forecast changed from highs around freezing to be highs near 50 on both days.

Same thing happened twenty years ago when I decided to stop renting XC ski gear and invest in my own set. Went from snow every weekend to a drought and having to head up to Lake Placid to find enough snow to ski on.
