Global Warming

I can't count the number of times folks have asked out loud why the winter Olympics were staged in a "warm" location of Russia.

Flashback, special to The New York Times, January 17, 1980:

Lake Placid, NY, January 17 -- In Lake Placed, where there is virtually no snow, everybody talks about the weather, but nobody can surrender to it.

Indeed, the outspoken director of the Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce resigned under fire this week, just days after he said publicly that he doubted the town could stage the 1980 Winter Olympic Games without snow.

Even though a warm, rainy winter has left miles of Olympic ski trails soggy and bare, officials steadfastly maintain that the Games will open here on schedule on February 12.

Members of the lake Placed Olympic Organizing Committee say that, long-range weather forecasts notwithstanding, they fully believe that the springlike thaw will end and that snow will fall in the next three weeks. 

And so it goes.

The problem for the Sochi Winter Olympics and NBC's television ratings is not the snow conditions, but the time zone difference.
