I took these photos 2 days ago, when it was 80° in the afternoon. Today, it's 34°, and we're in the middle of a snowstorm. The National Weather Service is predicting accumulations of 3 to 6 inches and winds gusting up to 40 mph. Such transience!

Similar in Denver. Wednesday 85° and sunny, Friday dropped to 32° and fairly heavy snowfall at times. But the ground was so warm it just melted.

Knowing the storm was coming must have made the 80 degree weather that much more enjoyable.

Things really popped on Friday, I noticed, so that Saturday everything was out. Now, of course....
I did bring in my seedlings. They've not been transplanted into the ground yet. Who would do that in mid-April!? They'll go back out -- under overturned plastic bins -- Tuesday. The sunflower seeds have just popped up.

more details about the new Washington state law..
So, it's not so much that they can/will take your kid away..
It's that IF your kid runs away, and says they want to sex change.. You CAN'T have them back;
unless you say that it's okay

Instead of contacting parents, shelters can contact the Washington state government

"An act relating to supporting youth," or Senate Bill 5599, allows host homes for runaway youth "to house youth without parental permission." Furthermore, the host homes do not need to notify parents about where their kids are or if they are getting medical interventions "if there is a compelling reason not to, which includes a youth seeking protected health services."

The "protected health care services" included "gender-affirming care," which for minors arbitrarily included anything prescribed by a doctor to treat dysphoria, the bill said.

Budweiser releases new pro-America ad with iconic mascot in wake of Anheuser-Busch Mulvaney controversy
The advertisement, which was released on social media Friday, features one of Budweiser's famous Clydesdale horses traversing the country from New York City to the Grand Canyon, passing by scenes in the American heartland as a narrator delivers a patriotic message.

"This is a story bigger than beer," the ad's narrator says in the ad. "This is the story of the American spirit."

As the ad plays, the Clydesdale horse passes by some of the most famous American landmarks, showcasing the New York City skyline, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., small towns, and farmland. At one point, the ad showcases two people raising an American flag as one places her hand over her heart.

Looking at the radar at this moment, it appears we are in the center of a huge vortex.

Weather whiplash--we have had a mild version here. Balmy yesterday and then a cold thunderstorm for much of last night.

My wife's club's Burns Night Dinner was held last night, after it had to be canceled in January due to threats made in the wake of the release of the Nichols murder video. The security was pretty stringent for a five-star retirement community, with our names taken and car tag noted in and out.

Men in kilts, haggis, bagpipes, poetry, songs, dancing and fine Scotch. I got there to pick her up at the programmed time but they were still serving dinner and it was 90 minutes before she was ready to leave. Shoulda tooka book.

By the time we got within a few blocks of home I realized that the power seemed to be out, and sure enough the whole neighborhood was dark. One MLGW electrician tripped a breaker in our neighbor's back yard at about 930 this morning (I had just returned from the Hop-In with some bag ice and COFFEE) and there was power for us and a few dozen others, but the people across the street and southward are still dark.

Last night in the absence of the whirr and chuckle of various fans, filters, and appliances, it was easy to hear the cold rain drip outside, and odd worrying little plashy sounds.

there's what? about eight MILLION people in New York City?
Revolving Door: 327 Crooks Account for a Third of All NYC Shoplifting
Nearly a third of all shoplifting arrests in New York City last year involved just 327 people, the police said. Collectively, they were arrested and rearrested more than 6,000 times, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. Some engage in shoplifting as a trade, while others are driven by addiction or mental illness; the police did not identify the 327 people in the analysis.

Apparently the city of Chicago was taken over last night by youths with a passion. Fathers? Where are the fathers? We don't need no stinkin' fathers. The nuclear family is so yesterday.

"The National Weather Service is predicting accumulations of 3 to 6 inches"

I'm glad they blew that forecast. I have an appointment this morning and wasn't looking forward to digging out the driveway first.

Anybody else notice that the mass shooting in Alabama has been dropped (or hardly being reported) by the media?? Wonder why THAT is???/s

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

@OriginalMike, the forecast was mis-reported by Althouse. The messaging I saw last night had all the heavy stuff west of here, and I note that Reedsburg had 7" (Boy I'd hate to live in Reedsburg this morning).

Original Mike म्हणाले...

As late as last night, Weather Underground was calling for 3 to 5 inches last night and another today. 5 + 1 = 6.

We were talking about this at a recent star party. The conclusion was weather forecasters all get together before an event and divvy out the forecasts ("OK, who wants 6"?) so that somebody is right and all the rest can point to him and say "See, we got it right."

Original Mike म्हणाले...

Another thing weather forecasters do. The forecast starts several days out and then gets modified constantly up to the event. Fine, understandable. But you don't get to point to the last one and say, "See, we got it right". You also got it wrong 2 days ago, and 3 days ago, …. And when I'm using the forecast 2 or 3 days out to decide whether to effort an observing excursion, the forecast 3 hours before the event really doesn't help me.

Here lie the persons and children sacrificed for social progress, aborted by a confused woman in the woke (sic) of trans/visibility activism and advocacy of false hopes and irrevocable change. RIP

Previously.... The diverse, equitable, and inclusive gang rape of a trans/homosexual female.

The trans/homosexual male serial rapist.

The diverse SUV driver mowing a parade of carolers.

The diverse victims of trans/national high-toxicity fentanyl. Remember George Floyd.
