Speaking of Snow . . .

Time magazine published a report in its January 18, 2010, edition that, "Seoul received 11 ft. (3.3 m) of snow, the most it had seen since 1937".

11 feet!

Wow!

Even though it is only a short walk to school, that would have been tough, were it at all true.

Are there any fact checkers at Time? And even if there aren't, couldn't the person typing the copy maybe have thought that 11 feet in one day would be something of a universal record, perhaps something so far beyond belief that we could not even attribute it to global warming?
