      <title>I know! I know! That's an awful lot of snow!</title>
      <link>http://groups.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=post.display&amp;postid=16537</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; I know! I know! That's an awful lot of snow! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Entry&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Oh hail to the glorious God and Goddess of Winter. Please be gentle with us, spank us not so hard with thy cold, frosty daggers. Please, please my Lord, make it stop!&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;Wow, not since the days of my youth living in the higher reaches of New England have I seen this much snow where I live. It's white everywhere! Over here... look it's white... ooo... look over there... it's a pretty white too! My goodness.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;So, what does all this snow have to do with ColdFusion anyway? The snow itself, perhaps, does not partake much in ColdFusion, but ColdFusion certainly plays an essential role in tracking the snow. Several key agencies in our government at all levels use ColdFusion power to help them track, chart and view weather data. NASA uses ColdFusion to help prepare weather images for their flash components, NOAA uses ColdFusion to power their Flex driven weather centers, and even agencies such as the FBI, CIA and local homeland security use it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;ColdFusion is growing, and ColdFusion is finding uses in every corner of the globe, for every industry. Aside from being a powerful RIA development language, ColdFusion's Java, .NET and COM capabilities extend your reach into every aspect of computing, and have been used in a myriad of interesting and useful ways, as evidenced by how ColdFusion is able to grow in both stability and technology every year.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;As a ColdFusion evangelist, one can expect me to hop on the soap box and scream out loud 'Use ColdFusion!' every time I hear about a problem that needs a solution. Is ColdFusion the right solution for every task? With it's capabilities now it is pretty darn close, when used in conjunction with Flex and Flash - the sky is the limit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;And, through all the snow I've been humbly thanking Cox high speed internet and my corp ISP for staying up, and the power company for building all our wires underground :P We, thankfully, never lost internet and never lost power through the whole storm. I am ever so grateful for modern technology - which has allowed me to gracefully wait out the snowy white mess that surrounds me on all sides and continue to sling solutions at clients who aren't snowed in and still expect to see some results! ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;And, finally, just a note that we will be having our meeting on the 16th of February (next Tuesday) from 7-9pm regardless of the snow on Monday (which should be minimal). If you plan on attending, please RSVP to the event in the Events area of this site to ensure we get the right amount of grub for everybody.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Image&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; 
 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;More&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keywords&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;File&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;</description>
