Two weeks ago, with temps just above freezing and a foot of snow on the ground, we had:
- hail.
- ground fog.
- wind.
- pelting rain. Three inches of it.
- copious amounts of low-level lightning.
Ours was one of few houses *not* to flood, in a note of irony. (We’ve been fighting basement water for years.) Now I hear Minnesota’s been getting hit too, and there’s more coming. Jane, how are you?
It’s been the coldest winter in years, here. We’ve had regular drops to -40 (which is -40, no matter which scale you use). Even this past Friday morning. -37C. With the windchill, it was -46C. And Jackie’s tilling! Augh!
I am beginning to wonder whether the next Ice Age has chosen this historic moment of global warming hyper-awareness to ambush us. Has it been a weird year for anyone else?
