The Only Boom Buffalo's Experienced In Ages -- And Now It's Gone

Using the well-known "ice-boom-removal-date" method to measure the effects of global warming on Buffalo, it appears that we're safe this year.  Interestingly enough, the latest date on which the ice boom was ever removed was in 1971 when we were in the grips of a global-cooling panic, and the earliest date recorded for its removal was May 3, 1998, which is the last year, many scientists claim, that the globe experienced any noticeable warming.  It's sort of eerie, isn't it?
