It is apparent that perhaps global warming is catching up to us or we are to it. As many reminisced on Wednesday of where we were thirty years ago during the blizzard of 1978 and compared it to the 54-degree temperature of the day in 2008, it was quite a difference.
The next wave of reminiscing was that of when the Vineyard was predominantly Republican. Everyone tries to pinpoint the change to a Democratic phase in the 1960s.
