Shiny objects

In 16 years on the NCR I have never seen as much snow as we received on Tuesday and Wed.  The storm totals at Casa Monzeglio looked like about 20 inches of  the fluffy white stuff.  However, it seems most everyone from Westchester to Montreal got more than we did.  Anyway it was more than was needed or wanted.   The 10 day forecast is not very hopeful either.  Spring will arrive next week, but where is the weather usually associated with the vernal equinox?  Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues its imitation of a Three Stooges skit.  The repeal and replace healthcare bill is DOA, the "Muslim Ban" executive order has been shot down again and dems and some republicans are feeling energized and ready to fight some of the more outrageous initiatives coming from the White House.  So, why not distract the public with rallies, wiretapping accusations and a couple of pages of tax returns from a decade ago?  As the press chases these Maguffins the destruction of the republic continues apace.
