extreme weather

From the wicked thunderstorms this summer, to Sandy, to the post-Sandy nor'easter, extreme weather seems to have become the norm around here. And then we hear about temperatures in the 60's this weekend. Really?

I would like to ask Mother Nature a question. Was it something we said? This is New Jersey, after all, and I know we sometimes say things we probably shouldn't, but Sandy, then a below freezing night with so many without power, and now a Nor'easter? Really?

Last year when we were bracing for a hurricane, I remember thinking to myself, "What are the odds? We may not see this again for twenty years." Well, this extreme year of weather seems to want to insure that won't be true. Here comes Sandy.
