Very Cold!

 Supposedly we will be out from under the extreme cold warning by noon tomorrow. I sure hope so. Right now the clouds appear to be thinning and sunshine would help. Also the wind is not so strong anymore. 

Eloony Musk, currently contending for the title of Emperor of the the World, will soon be the most hated man in America, and the senile degenerate who pretends to be president will soon be the second most hated man in America. I'm pleased to see that Steve Bannon is sounding the alarm, but he'll probably be silenced soon, perhaps gunned down by a Muskrat. 

Cold Tomorrow

 So, I spent much of the morning preparing. Two or three quite cold days ahead, but maybe not as cold as the coldest we've had thus far. A lot depends on whether the system shifts farther east. Right now we are rather close to the eastern edge. A rapid warm-up after this. 

At the moment we have a strong wind out of the south. But it is also becoming rather cloudy. 

Waiting For The Cold Shot

 It won't be today, and it might not be tomorrow, but Tuesday and Wednesday look to be chill. After that it gets nice and warm again. No snow. No ice, and some sun. I can cope with that. 

I don't know whether I can cope with  a country run by a senile career criminal and an infantile goofball with delusions of grandeur. Caligula anyone? Nero? Tiberius? Trump as Tiberius and Musk as Caligula, two monsters ruling in tandem? The shit has truly floated to the top, and this will not end well. 

Life is like a steaming pile of shit, isn't it?

Cool Dry

 it's going to be a kind of climatic whiplash for us over the next week or so. We could be facing another bought of rather cold weather but before that, some warmer weather, and after the cold spell, warmer weather again. 

Make no mistake though-- 2025 is very likely to be the hottest year on record. 

Cold Wet

 Not cold enough for ice, but unpleasant. Light mist. Windy. Wintery. The sooner this ends the better. It should start improving tomorrow. It could be a week before we have any clear skies. 

I can't quite see myself complaining about heat this summer. 

Meanwhile...

 Our wintery weather continues, but it is not all that bad. Highs remain above freezing, precipitation has not been significant, and roads are safe. This has been a relatively mild January and February, in that we really haven't had much in the way of truly cold winter weather. And this latest event will be ending soon. 

My private garden was very lush last summer. It's always hard to believe that it can keep coming back, year after year. It looks quite dead at this time. 

ANONYMOUS

 I hope this proves to be more than an empty threat. Take the bastards down.

Resistance?

The Norther!

 A cold turn, but not VERY cold and not much, if any precipitation in any form is likely. Fine with me. I have a feeling that 2025 will be the hottest year on record, and that 2026 will top that, and so on. Anthropocene extinction event unfolding? Maybe not. Maybe just a tremendous die-back. A great cascade of deaths among all animal species, and the survivors must adapt to a greatly changed planet. But this is neither here nor there. I like to live in the past anyway. 

More of 2024 here. 

Another Nice Day!

 For February, this weather is fantastic! 

All of these photos were taken last summer, and I'll continue with last summer, and into the latter parts of 2024. All is dead now. Very much unlike this, but I hope for another jungle this summer. I like some jungle here and some meadow there, and an island wherein to chill and enjoy an iced drink or two. 

Plenty Warm!

 Very pleasant weather for February and nothing very extreme in the long term forecast. I like that.
