Clipped By A Clipper

A little Alberta clipper system slid by, just to the north, bringing some snow showers above the Mason-Dixon line but just leaving us with a chill and clouds. The sun is trying to burn through the cloud cover, forecast calling for temps making the low 50's today; we shall see. Has gotten out of 30's and to 42 as of now, noonish.
Puerto Rico region quakes continue, but a quake in S.F. Dakota (if you've been there, you know what the F is for:) and one down east in Maine?? A 5.4 quake off Mexico likely frayed some nerves but did little damage. The only other quakes in the 5's where on sea floor causing no issues.
A CME (coronal mass ejection) is headed Earthward from our turbulent star tomorrow bringing a chance for auroras into the northern tier of the US. Saturn and Jupiter sneak closer and closer, keep an eye on that pair, truly once in a life time!!
The TrumpVirus rages on in the US, another 220,000 infections yesterday with almost 2,600 more deaths, 2,600 more American families devastated ahead of the holiday season. In good news, a sign of hope, the Pfizer vaccine was given to the first patients in the UK yesterday. The US is still waiting for approval and trying to get more vaccines ordered, the current clueless administration dropping the ball on ordering back in the summer, but piling on the excuses, lies and blames.
The AG of Texas, a state that lost 181 citizens yesterday and leads the way in the fall death parade, filed a ridiculous law suit on behalf of other states, that our new president to be won, asking to throw out all mail in ballots..illegal..during a pandemic. Maybe he should worry about the 23,000+ dead texans that his lack of guidance (wear a mask) has lead to, but that would mean he and fellow idiot republicans would have to believe in reality and have a plan..other than blow up more of his state for every last drop of oil..maybe..
But, you can't argue with a twisted mind deep in denial.
Stay safe, be smart, mask on and stay apart..and out of Texas, Today On Earth!
