Hitherto unsuspected link between ecommerce and global warming

[pbray]

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.

I bought a snow thrower two winters ago. We've had one, maybe two, significant snowfalls since.

Global warming is our fault! We must reverse the trend and start buying summer things instead....

The same thing seems to happen regarding snow and snow plowing. We had enough snow Monday that the city declared a "snow emergency." Our street got plowed last night. Today it's warm, nearly shirt-sleeve weather and the snow is 90% gone.

And if you sign a contract for snow removal, you will have a winter with zero severe storms.

I signed SP up for skiing lessons last winter. I think we had maybe two snowfalls between December and April. Coincidence ... ?

I think not. Clearly you and SP have much to answer for :-)

so does this mean if I ask you to buy an ac unit in the middle of a heat wave, it will break?
