The cold weather (by our standards, we’re not freaking Cheesleand, after all) has also driven possums and raccoons into the open. That’s right there are possums in Uptown New Orleans. I haven’t seen any but the twitter feed of the U ptown Messenger’s Robert Morris is possumville right now. I’m not sure if anyone is rounding up a possum posse but anything is possible.
