We're Gonna Run Out Of Alphabet Before We Run Out Of Winter (Spring); Yogi On Deck For Later This Week

We're up to global warming storm XERXES. We may run out of alphabet before we run out of global warming this winter (spring).  The WunderGround is reporting:

Winter Storm Xerxes became the latest nuisance storm to pound the Northern Plains, dealing yet another snowy blow to the Dakotas and Minnesota on Sunday.

"I'm not sure which is more cruel -- the blizzard in Bismarck, which has had a few tastes of 60-degree weather this spring, or the snowstorm ahead for Grand Forks, which hasn't gotten above 40 degrees even once so far in 2013," said weather.com meteorologist Nick Wiltgen.

Some areas in North Dakota were nearing the one-foot mark for snowfall accumulations from Xerxes by mid-afternoon on Sunday, while areas in North and South Dakota experienced blizzard conditions, according to local reports.
