Letter from an interested party

I received this email titled "Precipitriumph" today.


jgm: In your campaign to get the weathergods to give Toronto an alltime record precipitative winter, the Toronto Star reports today (page A3) that the precipiformance is advancing.

If forecasts of 5 centimetres of downfalls today are correct, that will puff up the Torrate from yesterday's 189 to 194 cm--third place!

The current records:
1. 1938-39: 207.4 cm
2. 1949-50: 196.4 cm.
3. 2007-08 including that 5 cm today: 194 cm
4. 1964-65: 190.6 cm.
5. 1971-72: 188.9 cm.

Of course, if today's fortold snow-rain flurries fail to materialize, we're back in fourth spot--one-tenth of a cm ahead of 1971-72. . . .

Speaking of cms, cm 3:20 pm 25-3-08
