five things make a post, but I'm short....

Not even five things, because three of them are Pygmy Mammoths!!

See? Pygmy Mammoths!, Pygmy Mammoths!!, and then, pictures of Pygmy Mammoths!!!!! (well, the bones)

there's more, but I figure that's what you can stand.

Also baby sloth necklace and baby chickens

OK - here's a fourth thing, depending on how you count - the Arctic Oscillation is all weird this year

hollow and dead (and snowy)

hollow and dead (and snowy), originally uploaded by Dancing Crow.

the current weather frankly feels less like a snowpocalypse and more like being pecked to death by ducks. Snowed to death by ducks?

The last time I remember having snow like this I had dreams about it melting, and taking the ground away with it, leaving the trees and stones hovering in the air.

That was 1978. It paralyzed Boston during rush hour, and all of Rt 128 - the major ring road - was wall to wall abandoned cars, snowed in to above their bumpers.
