One of my brothers, who is a retired astro-physicist, has spent a lot of time explaining to me that this is also happening in the southern hemisphereto the south in Latin America--all due to the fact that the massive meltingof Arctic and Antarctic glaciation and ice puts so much more moisture inthe air, especially in the parts of the globe closer to the poles than to theequator.My relatively new power wheel-chair is personally offended; he had justgotten used to some neighborhood jaunts when the rain had the nerve to return--and he was not even consulted!Love to you, Sharon, and to you, Kate, and to all of you here with us,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Thu, May 19, 2011 2:34:43 PMSubject: Re: Winter-like storm in late springs sends Americans checking their calendars

A snowplow faces 23 feet of snow on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado on May 13.

May 19, 2011 – FLAGSTAFF, AZ - A frigid spring storm blew through Northern Arizona on Wednesday, bringing a mix of rain, sleet and wet snow. High temperatures are typically around 70 degrees this time of year, but the high for Wednesday was 43 and came at 1:30 a.m. Temperatures hovered around freezing for much of the day. "It's a bit on the unusual side, but not unprecedented," said Ken , a National Weather Service meteorologist. "It's an unusually strong and cold system coming down from the Northwest, and it's bringing in some moisture as it moves across the state."No road closures were reported, but blowing dust and icy pavement made driving hazardous, with accidents clogging Interstates 40 and 17. Winds gusting over 40 mph whipped up dust along I-40 between Flagstaff and Winslow and forced the

Arizona Department of

Public Safety to escort cars along a five-mile stretch. There were multiple rollover accidents on I-17 and a major rollover reported on Lake Road. Thick fog was considered a factor in some of the accidents. –Arizona Daily Star

Colorado is similar in the path of the wintery-weather onslaught. The high country is in for another round of snow Thursday, with an additional 4 to 8 inches over the higher mountain passes. There are a number of Winter Weather Alerts in place for the high country through the early evening hours. Snow totals will be in the 8- to 16-inch range when all is said and done. –The Denver Channel

n,

Do you carry a plastic baggie with you when you jaunt?  The guy

who helped me get mine told me that I should be very very

careful about getting the controls wet.. and that being a very

large NO-NO.. but he did suggest that I carry a baggie with me,

large enough to fit over the controls, if I would happen to be

outdoors and it started to rain..

My major problem is dropping the dish towel on the floor, while

washing up some dishes.. and with my hands being wet from the

dish water, I can't back up to retrieve the towel.. until my

hands dry.. and quite a bit of the time.. I can't find anymore

dry spots on my T-Shirt to step in for the dish towel!!

to return--and he was not even consulted!
