Another 21 degree start here at the tirehouse but we're already near yesterday's high, the monster high pressure dome slowly sliding east, but it's still cold!! A storm coming ashore on the west coast will bring more stormy snow and rain to the entire country as it moves east, ringing in the new year with one last round of wildness along the eastern seaboard to finish 2020.
Earth's lack of concern for we humans and our arbitrary dates and celebrations is likely not to end the tumult with the new year, the over load of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere to drive extreme events for years and decades to come. Hang on!!
A magnitude 5.5 quake has likely shaken nerves and structures in Turkey today. PNG and boundary zones to the east are a little shaky today as are the Andes along the Chilean Peruvian border. Cali is a little shaky, earthquake and TrumpVirus wise as well, no room in ICU's in that state. PR, the usual shakes along and off SW coast.
Caught Jupiter and Saturn at dusk in binocs last night, still spectacular, Jupiter now ahead and pulling away from Saturn and in current location (with eye aid) can really seen 3D nature of space; Saturn is way back behind Jupiter, just a gorgeous sight!! The Moon, nearing Full, is lighting up the early evening, adding time to late day walks, moon shadows in the forest a little disconcerting at first. Get out, bundle up and wander, loveliness abounds.
In other random thoughts, Nashville bombing😲. An avalanche in New York?? UK storms and flooding!! Douche Bag Prez, still no help, plan or interest in doing his job; his virus raging on nationwide!!
A sunspot is growing, roiling, spewing, just doing that sun thing...one forecaster calling this cycle a potential wild one...would figure!!
My passively solar heated house, getting toasty, outside the sun feels much less warm. Still it's time to get out, my xmas sleep deprivations somewhat caught up; hard to believe someone retired is not getting enough sleep!! Trying to change that, Today On Earth!😌
The Tirehouse!!
