I watched the weather wankers on TV this morning talking about nasty rains east of Texas working their way to get to the east coast and catching a shot to roll up the coast for another nor'easter.

Well, this 70-year-old fart just got by two nor'easters in the past week and got lucky with both. The first one brought great rain mixed with snow and high winds but where I am on Long Island we caught the warmer rain bands while people north of NYC got murdered with the snow and winds. And power outages after nor'easter #1 that are still going on after nor'easter #2 which happened yesterday.

Nor'easter #2 had my old carcass out with the snow blower this morning but just a few inches of wet heavy snow that got crusty overnight wasn't a bad deal. The winds were not as severe as those during Nor'easter #1 and we never lost power - unlike many thousands of people in Westchester who have had no power for a week.

I don't want a third nor'easter or any kind of snow. I quit climbing trees with a chainsaw at the age of of 53 and 17 years later I'm not thrilled with any kind of snow anymore. Hey, spring is near - it's time to watch squirrels and birds mate.

More snow on 3/13 for nor'easter #3 but some folks up in Westchester are still waiting for power from nor'easter #1 eleven days ago.

Meanwhile our arrogant presidential wannabe Gov. "Andy Boy" Cuomo has made several trips to Puerto Rico to cry about the power outages there from a hurricane but doesn't seem to give a fat fiddler's f*&$ for his own constituents in New York.
