A Chilly Start..But, More Sun!

18 degrees to start today but the sun is beaming and temps are slowly rising; serious High pressure in place. Change arrives tomorrow with rain, possibly mixed with the standard winter mess early, all rain later, more snow well to the north. The Polar Vortex is fading and southern air will make a push into the area by mid-week. 60 will feel like 80!!
Today's shake number, magnitude 5.1: Mongolia, Peru (5.0), Vanuatu and off the coast of Oregon. No tsunami coming but it should be (unlikely in the land of Da Nile) a warning that while California is a little overdue for a big shake, the Pacific NW, with their own little plate (Juan de Fuca) being subducted is waaaaaaaaay overdue for a big shake up. But, if the biggest quake is 5.1, a pretty slow day.
Sun still blasting away, scientist not sure if the latest CME will zap the Earth in a couple of days. I did notice the moon last night but it was way too cold and way too slippery to be out last night star/planet gazing. We'll see what cloud arrival timing does to viewing tonight but the storm is forecast to move quickly through and off shore.
TrumpVirus numbers continue to slow, slightly, but we near 500,000 dead; 50,000 soon in the "golden" state. Storms & cold this week slowed both vaccination distribution and vaccinations. Both are still a mess but there has only been anyone actually with a plan for both for a month now; donny's con machine doing what they did for 4 years, nothing..but, tell lies and make promises they had no intentions of keeping. "We'll share our healthcare plan..in a couple of weeks, it's so great, amazing" but non existent!!
Texas...following the same "plan" as the Punk'n Head administration, deny and blame while millions are still without water and power is still problematic. Nice job, Greg, way to go back home to Mexico, Ted. And, in usual republican fashion, demand that the feds come in and fix the mess the greed heads created. Same as it ever was..deny and blame, have no shame, still no plan: republican!!
So..stay safe out there, sleeves up, masks on..Today On Earth!
