What's happening with the National Weather Service? It is snowing in up state New York,  in the Adirondack Mountains area, and in northern New England, northern Vermont and New Hampshire. --  and it is Spring, almost May. The people in the affected areas are experiencing a  rare late-season snowstorm, with two feet of the heavy, wet stuff falling on their homes and  heads. Thousands of homes lost electric power. 15,000 in Vermont, says the utility companies.  Say, how many people do they have in Vermont? Well, roads are snow covered and some school were closed.

Before anybody consult their Bibles, or Holy Books, and begin to search for a passage or two, that would support that this spring snow is a warning sign from the Almighty to the folks in New England and northern New York to behave,  Mark Breen, a meteorologist at the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium in St Johnsbury, told the press, that there have been heavy snow storms in spring like this before in the region, on April 23 1993, and  on April 27 1874.
