Earlier this week a NYC network weatherman (who shall remain nameless) told us we won't see temperatures "like these" (in the 20s) again until next Christmas.  When temperatures were in the low 20s today that boy showed no remorse, did not own up to his mistaken bold statement, and lost my respect forever and ever.  Not that I ever had much respect for weathermen, other than the incomparable  Al Kaprielian, of course.
