It looks like most of next week will be spoiled by more winter crap. Highs above freezing but wintery mix is possible each day. Lows not too bad either. But anything having anything to do with wintery precipitation is no good at all. But as usual the forecasts keep changing. I'll get some more supplies in this weekend and hope for the best.
Right now about a 30% chance of yet more snow by Wednesday. It might not be quite as cold, though. But winter crap is winter crap and I don't like any of it.
The sooner that stuff melts the better. Mornings are rather cold but we have plenty of sunshine and daytime highs are improving. Yesterday the sunlight was diluted by high, hazy, clouds, but not today. I've been reading about fungi that can infect the brains of certain insects, altering their behavior in the interest of spreading more fungi spores, to infect more hosts. Zombie fungi are a real thing, and a science fiction movie has used the premise that a zombie fungus evolves to infect humans, turning the hosts into-- zombies, who go on to infect other humans. And it occurred to me that such a thing already exists, in many forms. We call those infectious diseases religions. Certain belief systems can function like pathogenic fungi, turning their hosts into zombie-like infectious agents, creating yet more zombies. Far-fetched? I see at least a strong analogy.
A little over seven inches at the airport and that was a record for the date yesterday. But it wasn't that cold and this morning it is clear, and not as cold as forecast. Yesterday evening the stuff was melting already. Probably icy streets this morning and dangerous driving, but by noon, probably OK. I hope that's the last snow we see this winter. The end. But we needed the precipitation. It'll be sloppy for a while but I can deal with that. There should be plenty of sunshine today!
I guess I got 4 to 6 inches but it's stopped and already starting to melt. Icy mornings for a few days, unfortunately.
