Yeah, it’s been snowing alot this year on the Upper Left Coast. I think it would be a good idea to air drop Al Gore into Kashmir and force him to make a snowman. Just a thought.

Snow May Kill Record Numbers of Pashmina Goats

An unexpected heavy snowfall in the Ladakh region of India may mean the death of around 90,000 Pashmina goats.

These goats are facing a shortage of food, according to Tsering Dorjay, a government official in Ladakh. These goats typically survive on the grass in Ladakh, but with the temperatures at -29 degrees Fahrenheit and such heavy snowfall, they are not expected to survive much longer.

These goats have a warm, thick, fleece coat which provides fine wool for Pashmina shawls which are exported worldwide. These shawls have become increasingly popular since the ban on shahtoosh, fine wool derived from the hair of an endangered Tibetan antelope.

Make a snowman? Hell, if he were to be made to stand outside long enough he could be the snowman.
