Snow Emergency

emerge Look up emerge at Dictionary.com
1563, from M.Fr. emerger, from L. emergere "rise out or up," from ex- "out" + mergere "to dip, sink" (see merge). The notion is of rising from a liquid by virtue of buoyancy. Emergency "unforeseen occurrence" is c.1631. Emergent (adj.) was first recorded c.1450.

An unforeseen occurrence indeed. The sky turns pink when the snow covers the ground. The albedo of earth is shrinking because the snow is dirtier and reflects less sunlight. Damn you Global Warming you get us even in the cold of winter.

The largest chicken producer in the country declared chapter 11 this week. I wonder why the news channels didn't really cover that one very big, I mean are those chicken worker jobs less important then the car makers? Maybe it was their name that held back business, Pilgrims Pride seems more apt for turkey then chicken. Chicken is our most efficient grain to protein animal source according to a cornell paper. I'm sure that why the Pilgrims were so proud.
