Electricity blackouts ceased this past Thursday. Water boiling ceased Saturday.

Man , you guys had a rough go of it.


Rain here today in NY, it will melt all the snow.

Yeah, but it was all a hoax; fake weather. The government mandated chlorine in our water one hundred years ago just for this purpose: to blind us to hoaxes by chemically manipulating our minds. Did you notice how quickly the bad weather went away? A couple of days ago it was freezing and today it's 60. How'd that happen? Hoax! Fake weather! The government created AIDS, polio and Lyme disease. Then there’s that Satanic cabal led by Hillary Clinton. Also, the earth is indeed flat and Noah had dinosaurs on the Ark. Madonne!

We had three days of on/off snow showers here in the High Desert. It can snow up here even when the temp is in the low 40's. Luckily, the temp remained in the high 30's, and whatever stuck soon melted. We had two feet in one day in January.

Not much Sun here today and a bit cold 32* but glad the wind died off, it was howling here in NY for three days.

88F
Heat Index 93F
S 16mph

Rain seems to have past, we had rain every other day for awhile now.

Looks nice out but still a bit chili.

Exceptionally cool and very, very windy here in the High Desert. Dry as a bone. Forest fire danger very high.

Luv the term “High Desert”
Must be nice there.

We had 90s yesterday on LI and today 60”s
Strange.

The garden is freaking out, does not know if if summer or spring.

New Orleans’ impossible situation

A mandatory evacuation was issued for portions of New Orleans outside of their levee system on Friday, and a voluntary evacuation for inside the levee system. However, no mandatory evacuation was ordered for the city because officials judged there was insufficient time to set up contraflow, having all lanes of traffic converted to lead out of town.

Many have criticized this decision, but New Orleans found itself in an impossible situation: the city needs a full 72 hours to fully evacuate, and making reliable intensity forecasts that far in advance is very difficult. We will have to accept New Orleans’ vulnerability to major hurricanes unless tens of billions are spent to upgrade the city’s defenses to category 5 capability. As discussed in yesterday’s post, there is reason to be optimistic that New Orleans’ levee system will withstand Ida’s storm surge: The 7-11? surge predicted for the city is below the maximum surge that Hurricane Isaac of 2012 brought.
