			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I woke up this morning, fired up the ‘puter, checked the big weather map and saw this:</p>
<p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://just-thinkin.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/weather-02-05-10.jpg" width="542" height="362"></p>
<p>Looks like my new improved <a title="The Vermont weather shield" href="http://just-thinkin.net/2007/12/the-vermont-weather-shield/" target="_blank">weather shield</a> is working just fine (I never admited to owning the original shield by the way, I just passed it off as magic). I recently upgraded my equipment to handle most of the northeast portion of the US as I figure the mid-Atlantic and southern states need more snow handling experience. I <em>have</em> seen the <a title="Beware of global warming! It's colder than hell." href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/" target="_blank">Day After Tomorrow</a> after all. Not <em>all</em> the time mind you as the northeast needs the occasional snow storm just to make sure the wells are nice and full in Spring.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, since my upgraded weather shield requires significantly more amperage, my direct power tap into the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant seems to have <a title="Increased tritium leaks at VT Yankee Nuke plant" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/business/energy-environment/02nuke.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">weakened the reactor cooling piping</a> a bit and ground water tritium levels are on the rise again. My own fault for tying into a nuclear plant that was built in 1975 I suppose.</p>
<p>I guess I’m going to have to poll the folks down in Vernon, VT to get an idea what they would rather prefer&#8211;more snow or the possibility of hooking a 3 headed trout next summer?</p>
