  1. Cold, brown and dry could have a silver lining beyond pond skating and ice fishing, if the cold was deep enough to impact the tick and invasive populations, but as modeled this is pedestrian cold and won't get the job done.

    Those who poo poo cold air in winter I got just the place for ya - We average 66 in Jan with lows in the mid 40s. Some winters we don't even have frost :)

     

    Look, I know this is absolutely crazy coming from The Jebman --- But I love this place so much! They had to drag me kickin' and screamin' all the way down here - But now I love it with all my heart! 7 month long summers are Da Bomb!

    I lived in S Texas in the late 70s and couldn't get out of there fast enough.  Yes, palm and citrus trees, and watermelon fields dotted with oil & gas pumps.  But the searing heat from May to September, and 70s-80s thru the winter is enough to bore a wx enthusiast to tears.  10 day forecasts are on repeat all summer - sunny, upper 90s, low 80s at night - and walking out the door in summer is a blast furnace assault to exposed skin.  Not to mention the hostility of goat-heads in yards that shred your pets paws to hamburger and nestle in your socks to gore you unexpectedly at some future slight movement.  Fleas that thrive in the grass year round, along with scorpions and tarantulas.  That said, I get ya - and to each their own, both my sisters still live there after all these years and love it.   Plus, there's Whataburger...  

    Merry Christmas!

  3. They call it a Clipper… clipper, faster than lightning,

    Few storms you see, are faster than he,

    And we know the Clipper’s just a vort in the dry air,

    Flying by here, on it’s way to the sea

    Snow lovers hope each Clipper they see,

    Will stall and grab moisture, when it reaches the sea

    But that trick’s a rare one, and much more likely

    No one will see, more than a coating to three.

    well .. to be empathetic to the solemn singers, it's been since 2015 ...   mmm 9 years is for all intents and purposes a decade, that much of coastal mass has seen normal snow.  so saying "just had" ...that's a little gaslighty   hahaha.

    seriously though, it's getting on in age at this point.   thing is, we may have slipped over a climate threshold where these 9 years worth of sore butting becomes more normal.   i know that's probably going to earn me 0 love hearts, no 100 %'s ... no thankyous and a pile of shit or two, but this is unfortunately our non-zero possible reality at this point. 

    that said, this winter will probably go on to conquer all evil ... just to enable.  but the price in selling to that devil might be a new fresh hell of 12 years again over before we pull the cosmic d out of our cc bums ... a time in which the polar ice free waters for the first time.

    Yeah talk to those of us who lived thru the 80s LOL
