Temperate

By Baxter

Upstate New York was braced for severe weather today, but it didn't happen — just a few hours of steady rain, after which temperatures have dropped into the 60s.

This coming week, it's supposed to be in the 70s and (maybe) low 80s.

So we're still trying to figure out why people are moving to Phoenix, where the average temps were 110F and more these last several weeks, or even the mid-Atlantic, which was pummeled by severe storms today after highs of 97F in Washington, 98F at Dulles and 99F in Baltimore. And Florida? Fuhgeddabout it.

There's no escaping climate change until we convince Republicans to do something about it. But in the meantime, the Northeast seems to be the place to ride it out. We cats PURR.

(UPDATE, July 31: It was 54F this morning! We cats PURR.)
