The mass delusion which takes over the Mudcat Mind this time of year, this fixation on imaginary "snow", is really puzzling, not just because of the nature of mass hypnosis, but that it seems to occur so regularly between December and March every year.

What accounts for this mass delusion? How can so many be fooled so completely for so long, so regularly?

This is an excellent premise for a research paper. Here in Southern California we have managed to achieve a certain immunity, so maybe somebody at UCLA or UCSD should do it.
