"Sept. 11, if you remember, was a crystal-clear blue, dry day, and now the whole season has been like that over and over again. It's like being stuck in a time warp – time isn't moving forward the way it normally does." William Solecki of Earth and Environmental Studies in a March 10 article in The New York Times headlined, "When Good Winters Go Bad: Enjoy the Sunshine, but There May be a Price to Pay."

"At Montclair State University, for example, there are many summer sessions from which students can choose, including day and evening classes for graduate and undergraduate students, says John H. Leffler, director of Summer Sessions and Special Programs...Leffler estimates that 6,500 students take advantage of Montcalir's Summer programs..."
