Your Weather, 2024

Florida HAS gotten snow! That's when we know they won't be as many strawberries for sale locally!
I was thinking about "evidence" of Global Warming, one of which is erosion of east coast beaches.
One important factor is the shallow continental shelf on the east American Coast and the Gulf Coast.
Because of this we always get many feet of storm surge which EATS BEACHES.
Countries like Japan say, "storm What?!?"
The land falls away sharply from their shorelines and they don't understand storm surge.
We have to say, it's like a tsunami.
Places like New Jersey are ALWAYS re sanding their beaches every year bc the ocean storms wash them away.
Old Light houses have to be moved inland bc the ocean threatens to topple them.
Heat or Cold, storm surge makes our coastlines smaller every year.
In fact, the locations of old light houses shows you how much land the oceans have eaten up in the last couple of hundred years.
Also, how come our government won't tell us what whales are the 12 that washed up on shore while they were building ocean wind farms? No autopsies, Nothing, story swept under the rug.
I suspect that they were all "right whales", which are severely endangered.
Just a rant...

Stopped raining enough to run out and do some more trimming around the perimeter of the pastures.
It gets old having to duck under those Doug fir limbs when mowing the pastures. Temps in the low 40F and warmer temperatures expected Sat and Sun in the 50F . Almost a heat wave for around here.

when you dam rivers you stop sediments from replenishing beaches, add to that other dumb things that humans do (nutrient overloads, wetland destruction, land use changes, etc) and you certainly don't improve how the shoreline reacts to events.

we had about an inch of fluffy snow this morning so i got out and shoveled it before Mom had to go do her thing. gladly i had most of it done before she left so there wasn't too much packed down by her driving over it. to start with i run two lines down the driveway about the width of her car tires hoping she'll get it lined up if she needs to leave faster than i can get it done but sometimes she doesn't - it's ok either way but it does help with traction if needed.

today she only had a little bit compressed so i finished it all up and the rest of the day's weather sublimated most of what was left.

the forecast for us contains no storm of any kind for the next week and not even much mention of snow. just cold and fairly stable temperatures. cold. yes, that. normal January weather.

What comes to mind when talking dams…Talk to the beavers round here. When the river is damed down stream by them , below us combined with rain the roads wash out.

I agree--Dumb human things...@flowerbug

-3 here. But feels even colder to me. We are due snow a bit later so I hope I can get my dog out before that starts

Last night all I wanted to do was get under my covers with my faithful hot water bottle and dog on the top sheet in her nighty. brrr

She's by the radiator now. I don't blame her

This is his channel ducks, I just found him a couple months ago, the link passed to me from a gardening friend. He predicted quite a while back that the planet would actually trend to colder, so it's interesting to see it unfold in real time. Florida might even get snow!

So much for all the ballyhoo about global warming.

That link is incredible... it's more than just a forecast, it's a weather tutorial.

A friend sent me that, I’m impressed too!

We just might have @baymule 's total of 3 ½" on December 23rd for our December monthly total!

And, those 3½" would be quite.a.bit.more than the average precipitation for December, 2⅓".

December had 3.9 inches, which nearly entirely fell as rain. Again, it is only just at freezing in the pre-dawn hours with last night's final flourish of snow covering the landscape.

January 4th, 48⁰ North latitude, hunkering down at 2,000 feet between a range of the Rocky Mountains ...
