Caught in the Web

Spied this spiderweb holding more than its share of weight in water among my Azaleas. Temps have gone from 76F here yesterday, to upper 60's today...& things are forecasted to get significantly ugly by the end of the weekend on the entire east coast states. Forecasters are tracking a freak of a storm (even terming it "Frankenstorm") combining a Nor'easter & Hurricane Sandy just in time for Halloween again. Last year's bizarre Halloween snowstorm was devastating, leaving us without power for 6 days & roads closed for even longer. What is up? Global warming?!
