It's been in the 60's since before Thanksgiving but we'll get ours soon, I fear. In the meantime here's a winter story:

It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote
> reservation asked their
> new
> > Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.
> >
> > Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he
> had never been
> taught
> > the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he
> couldn't tell what
> the
> > weather was going to be.
> >
> > Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to
> his tribe that
> the
> > winter was indeed going to be cold and that the
> members of the
> village
> > should collect wood to be prepared.
> >
> > But also being a practical leader, after several
> days he got an idea.
> He

> Service and
> asked,
> > "Is

> >
> > "It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold
> indeed," the
> > meteorologist at the weather service responded.

> > So the Chief went back to his people and told them

> >
> > A week later, he called the National Weather Service

> > "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again

> >
> > The Chief again went back to his people and ordered

> >
> > Two weeks later, he called the National Weather

> >
> > "Absolutely," the man replied. "It's going to be one
