Q: (CNN)Just how cold and miserable is it in upstate New York?

It's apparently so miserable that even those whose job it is to encourage visits to Ithaca are telling tourists they probably should make other plans.

Web visitors who go to VisitIthaca.com, the Ithaca/Tompkins County Convention and Visitors Bureau website, will now see a pop-up banner that says, "That's it. We surrender. Winter, you win. Key West anyone?"

Bruce Stoff, director of the Visitors Bureau, came up with the unconventional marketing campaign.

"It was 5 degrees below zero this morning when I woke up," Stoff said Monday. "Everyone in the Northeast is beaten by winter now, and we're dreaming of being someplace that is warm."

The message goes on to say, "Due to this ridiculously stupid winter, Ithaca invites you to visit the Florida Keys this week. Please come back when things thaw out. Really, it's for the birds here now." It provides a link to the Keys website at fla-keys.com.

A spokesperson for the Florida Keys Tourism Council called the initiative "the wackiest thing I've ever seen in my life from a tourism marketing standpoint."

Andy Newman got a call from Stoff last week pitching the idea and asking for permission to use pictures of the Florida Keys homepage.

This wasn't an advertising campaign, Newman said, and no money was exchanged.

"I didn't believe he'd actually go through with it," Newman said.

But considering the weather conditions in the Keys right now, he understands.

"It's in the 70s, there's no snow and no frost on the ground," Newman said.

Q: A high-profile murder case involving one of America's most well-known political families took a dramatic turn Wednesday when a judge ordered a new trial for Michael Skakel, the nephew of Robert and Ethel Kennedy.

Skakel, who has spent more than a decade behind bars, is accused of killing 15-year-old neighbor Martha Moxley with a golf club in 1975. Twenty-seven years after her death, he was convicted and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

For years, Skakel fought unsuccessfully for his conviction to be overturned. But a Connecticut judge gave Skakel, 53, a chance for a fresh start Wednesday, ruling that the defense during his 2002 trial had been inadequate.

State's Attorney John Smriga said prosecutors plan to appeal, but are still reviewing the judge's decision.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has long maintained his cousin's innocence, described the judge's order as a "blessed event."

"I think everybody who knows Michael's overjoyed with it," Kennedy told CNN's "AC360."

Martha Moxley's mother said the judge's ruling does nothing to change her mind.

"There's not a way they can erase what was said during the first trial. ... I have not given up and I do believe Michael Skakel killed my daughter," Dorthy Moxley told CNN's "Piers Morgan Live." "If there is a new trial, I will be there."

Judge: Defense 'constitutionally deficient'

In a lengthy opinion Wednesday, Connecticut Appellate Judge Thomas Bishop ruled that defense attorney Michael "Mickey" Sherman's representation of Skakel was "constitutionally deficient."

"The defense of a serious felony prosecution requires attention to detail, an energetic investigation and a coherent plan of defense (capably) executed," Bishop wrote in his decision. "Trial counsel's failures in each of these areas of representation were significant and, ultimately, fatal to a constitutionally adequate defense."
