WE SHOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THIS GLOBAL WARMING THING YEARS AGO:

The nation's weather (WEATHER UNDERGROUND, 10/17/09)

A developing low pressure trough will sweep the eastern third of the U.S. and provide an early glimpse of wintry weather.

Stormy weather on the trough's eastern edge is expected to move up the Eastern seaboard, scattering moderate to heavy precipitation through the Mid-Atlantic states and coastal New England. This activity will continue into Sunday as the storm moves up the coast with a chance of flooding in some areas of the Mid-Atlantic.

The trough will allow seasonally cold air to plunge into the eastern third of the country down to the Southeast. Cold air will mean some snow for areas of the Northeast and greatly dampened daytime high temperatures for much of the eastern U.S.

Looks like canned beer and sliced bread have some competition.
