After yet another heavy winter snow storm blanketed the northeast in mid-February 2015, the tourism web site for the city of Ithaca, New York, officially gave up and told potential visitors that they should travel to Key West, Florida, instead:
Due to this ridiculously stupid winter, Ithaca invites you to visit The Keys this week. Please come back when things thaw out. Really, it's for the birds here now. (Still want to visit Ithaca? Are you sure? Ok.) PS. Send Us A Postcard.
