weather back to normal

It looks like we're getting back to normal winter weather. I know most people hate it, but it means they can make snow again. Pretty soon the local ski areas will be back at full speed (at least I hope). I'm spending the weekend at Chestnut, so I hope they're pumping snow.
I just read about a federal judge nominee who was forced to back out of his nomination because of protests from the native community. He had apparently run roughshod over sacred sites while working for the dept. of the interior. This is something I never thought I would see happen. Maybe progress is being made.
