My Aisling: Blizzards

Blizzards

Can't find a blizzard map, just discussion. So this will have to do.

Areas hit by either blizzards or otherwise ranking high enough to make the article: Massachusetts and Connecticut; Texas to South Dakota; WDC (but just two feet of snow? I am beginning to think a blizzard isn't all that bad); Philadelphia (30 inches - big deal!); and Colorado.

OK, that's all our source data. Now to dig into it and the suggested safe havens.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
