It has been really foggy the last 24 hours and this morning isn’t much better. With rain on top of unseasonably warm temps (55 today and 55 tomorrow), you can’t see very far. Even Rudolph is going to have a rough time tonight.
Then One Foggy Christmas Eve….
Currently light snow, 17 degrees, brrrrrrreeeeeezzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyy. Merry Christmas.
I would definitely prefer cold and light snow to rain and fog.
High of 75 expected today in south Texas. Then it “plummets” to 62 tomorrow. Brrrrr!
Merry Christmas, y’all.
More seasonal temps are on the way but for the next 48 hours it feels like late April
63° here in Southeast Texas. Remembering the Blizzard of ‘78 growing up in Northwest Ohio.
I was working at St. Charles hospital night shift then. Started with pouring rain that night. I left the hospital four days later. Cars in the parking lot were covered to their roofs. No water and all but some emergency power within a few hours of storm starting. In a hospital full of patients, no toilets to flush, no linens to change patients arriving by ski and snow machines. A great real world primer on what grid down really is. You can’t really understand the magnitude of the impact without seeing it. The lesson? Whatever your preparations are, it’s not enough.
St Charles in Oregon, Ohio? Our oldest son was born there.
Yes Arthur that’s the place. That event highlighted the true fragility of a high tech complex supply chain dependent society. Scale up a grid down event to a regional or larger geography and the outcome is horrific. The book “One Second After” is also an excellent primer on what follows an extended outage. Again, horrific. Now factor in the impact of millions of low IQ illegals totally dependent on fiat handouts from our overlords. It helps to focus the mind.
I was just shy of 7 back then, we had a whole week off from school, power was out so we used kerosene lanterns
49° and raining in south-central-northeastern Somalisota, and not foggy anymore because all the frost has come out of the ground.
There’s a $750K John Deere processor parked in the back yard and who knows when it’ll freeze enough to go back out on the county land and continue cutting.
Feel like every joint has been hot by a guy with a baseball bat, this humidity sucks.
Happy brown Christmas everyone!
Everything is certainly moist
I think Santa ‘ s Sleigh and Rudolph approval for Cat III ops a while back but updated to 150 feet RVR last year.The fog won’t stop him, just slow him down a bit.
Rudolph better stick a plate in that carrier before delivering to the hood.
Just -where- did you get that graphic bro? OUT-FUCKING-STANDING!
Merry Christmas my Fren, 70 deeeeegrees here in Sunny Flor-reeee!-duh!
Just tossed it in the ol’ AI image generator, feel free to use it!
We had our share of fog, but now the cold has set in. Nice.
