An Inconvenient Truth

It seems that the connection between Portland and New York may be more tangible than I originally thought: According to New York mag's The Five Year Forecast, the legendary Pacific Northwest climate is slowly creeping to NYC thanks to global warming (in the long run) and a new El Nino phenomenon (starting this winter). So does that mean Hawaii's climate is coming to us? Or maybe Alaska's?

Really, though, I wouldn't trade our drizzly winter weather (and sometimes snowy like tonight - yay!) for 300 days of sun. That's just too much for me. But so is a winter frozen solid for months. So maybe Mother Nature can leave things as they are here and simply share our weather with New York. They always have to copy us, don't they? At least we'd be able to stop hearing, "I've heard it rains a lot there."
