Last week you scoffed with your sarcastic "boo hoos" and reminded us it's still technically spring when we said 2009 is shaping up to be The Year Without a Summer. Are those of you on the East Coast convinced yet?

In New York today it is cold and wet and miserable and soul-draining day. The sort when your wet shoes never seem to dry. (That picture was taken this morning in the financial district.) And this is the middle of fucking June - what will likely be the coldest, wettest June ever. And, oh great, now there's a flash flood watch. Compare it to Seattle, to Noah's Ark, whatever you want. But the weather forecast says this will never ever end. Ever.
