Good news for those also suffering through reverse seasonal affective disorder: we are over halfway through the sweltering summer months! According to our calculations, this past Saturday was the half-way point through the season, which so far has brought a brutal heatwave and broken subway air conditioners. Sure, we'll soon be complaining about the cold once again, while we ponder new ways to say "snowmageddon," and compile our Top Five Fireplace Bars list... but it's still nice to know that we're half way through this thing.

Why Tomorrow's Snow Is No Reason For A Nervous Breakdown
As you are no doubt aware, tomorrow's forecast calls for snow. The snow, which will be mixed with rain, is expected to start in the morning and continue through the afternoon. Our merciless meteorologists, who are simply doing their jobs and should not be targeted by angry mobs, predict that the snow will not accumulate—except of course inside our downtrodden, weather-beaten souls, where Winter is firmly ensconced in a comfortable wing chair, feet up on an ottoman, flipping through our copy of Racing Form, and showing no sign of complying with our pitiful "hints" that we would really prefer to be with Spring from now on.

La La La, Fall is Here
At this very moment, 5:18 p.m., we shed ourselves of summer and enter the fall months (an explanation of the autumnal equinox can be found here). The days are darker, the air is brisker, the leaves are crunchier, the subway platform temperature is more tolerable... enjoy it before the snow cometh.
