Actually, here in southwestern Ohio, we are blaming this weather on the absence of John Scalzi. He is currently on a book signing tour of the rest of the country and the people in Seattle were thrilled that he brought the sun with him. It was Ohio's sun. Even if he the president of SFWA and the country needs him, it is time that he returned to Ohio.

Although some people are considering the weather around here as the almightly's judgment on the rebuilding of the statue (known as touch down Jesus) at the Church of the Living Rock just north of Cincinnati, that was destroyed by lightening last year..Now that was a smiting!!
