Kinky Is As Kinky Does

Fiorella woke up to an ice storm--at least that's what she thinks one calls a weather phenomenon somewhere between sleet and hail. Ice crystals are coating the ground, and snow is predicted for the day.

SNOW? In Central Texas? In late February?

Fio can vaguely remember years ago, when snow fell every three years or so(occasionally several inches deep), but it's been a scarce commodity in recent times. And she can't EVER remember it snowing in late February. Everyone knows the best chances for snow`are in late January, early February, that if there is none by then, there never will be.

But here we are--first a drought of several years, then a lot of rain, now snow. The weather is getting downright kinky, just like predicted by global warming theorists.

What's next, will Pilot Knob, our local extinct volcano, start blowing its top?
