Lotta Shakes, We're Stuck In The Wedge

When High pressure is to our north
The cold air wedge comes forth
Clouds & gloom, cold on the ground
While just south, rain is all around
We might get a little shower
In an evening hour
And, perhaps over night
By Saturday, outta sight
Maybe sun on the namesake day
Before another warm-up comes our way
January: above average rain & warm
Setting stage for spring insect swarm?
Just another bonus on a warming world
Rising seas & insect swarms unfurled
A new epoch begins
Today On Earth

Planet with another shaky day
74 quakes, energy, every which way
11 so far at/above magnitude 5
Caribbean doing aftershock jive
Entire Pacific ring on the move
Stuffing seafloor into trench/groove
Peru to Alaska, Kurils & Japan
Philippines, Indonesia & PNG
Tonga, Solomon & New Zealand
Mostly ubiquitous shaking to see
Today/Everyday On Earth

In the night sky
Venus so bright & high
As Moon just slides away
Mercury coming back to play
Mars high & Jupiter low
At dawn, before sun show
Jupiter bright, Mars dim
Saturn above sun, slim
Early February, 5 planets in view
3 pre-dawn, at sunset, 2
Check it out
With bright winter stars about
If ya got clear skies
Gaze upward with you eyes
Could be spectacular
Today On Earth!

Can you spot Venus in pic?

Little spot just above and left of lit tree!!
Val d'Isere, France
