Old school cold
It is cold like the '70s today in Princeton, below freezing even in the sun at the top of the afternoon. I saw the first half of the traditional end-of-season game against Dartmouth, but left at half-time to retreat with my book to the bar in the Alchemist & Barrister. On the way I passed the fountain in the plaza in front of Robertson Hall and snapped a picture with my cell phone...
Oops, it should have been drained before the first big freeze. Looks as though the university building services people have been taking climate change sensationalism a bit too much to heart.
More: Night shot here.

GM will still be required to make all electric cars at prices $2-3000 more than the non-union competition.
But, hey, Barney Frank wants to reduce "income inequality."

No doubt there were seminars held in one of the Woody Woo bowls to determine when exactly to drain the fountain in view of the massive AGW taking place.
It had to have been cold at the stadium. My father watched the game on the internet, completing his 75th season (starting from the fall of 1933, his freshman year -- Prohibition still being in effect!) of being a Princeton football fan. Palmer Stadium would have been filled in November 1933, even on a day like today.
Funny how when sunspots stop their activities the world gets colder, without regard to how much human commercial activities (CO2 emissions) are occurring. Interesting how almost all the warming that occurred in the past twenty years is wiped out, yet human CO2 output is about the same. I am shocked that libs would try to sell us another hoax.
