Now, usually I make cruel fun of my fellow Seattleites over our yearly snow hysteria. My friend Mike put it best: &#8220;The TV weather guys break [...]]]></description>

That means we are thirty-six years past 1975&#8230; the date of the end of the world in The Omega Man. We are thirty-two years past 1979&#8230; the date of the suspended-animation [...]]]></description>
