No Ice Storm Here..Yet!!

Disclaimer: google and verizon advertise how wonderful they are...maybe in a big city..but, for much of the country, those that live in the "country", they both suck - SUCK!!!!!! And, relying on the "cloud" then is a really dangerous thing; any day with real clouds potentially makes your "cloud" access, inaccessible(well, maybe the russians can access it..)!! Google has already deleted some of what I've typed...
The freezing rain that was forecast for the wee hours today did not happen. Looks like it stayed north and south of us. A bigger storm, with way more danger potential, looms for Thursday and beyond; foreshadowing in Tulsa yesterday where ice coated everything..and of course, cars still zoomed about.
But, sun is out here and temps are rising fast, 49 right now! That should take care of any remaining snow lurking in the shadows; and keep the ground super saturated.
2 dozen quakes on and around Puerto Rico today. Not sure what's going on well off the NE coast but it is sure shaky. 10 quakes today around Ring O Shakes at or above magnitude 5, west and southwest edge dominating. Still, no quakes really in the danger zone. West Texas fracking/salt water injection still leading to local quakes, today hitting 4.0; that will rattle some stuff!!
A new sunspot is rotating into Earth view along SW edge of our nearby star; not big yet but instability nearby could spur some rapid growth and much bigger blasts (already eruptions off surface far bigger that Earth, just not in our direction). Auroras peaked last night..maybe a lull for arctic watchers. The moon is New Thursday afternoon so too close to the sun to be spotted for a few days. Winter stars/constellations were spectacular last night, get out for a peek!
Deaths from the TrumpVirus are down again, a lull before the Super Bowl surge?? Still 1,547 Americans died yesterday, the total (at least) up to 465,000. California still leading the late surge, only 72 deaths behind the early leader NY; likely the west coast will move into the death lead today..yea, life is so great out there..no wonder there is a mass exodus from the "golden" state.
Shut out of TrumpVirus vaccine at CVS today, but, gleaned some insight into when registration might open from my pharmacist neighbor...we will see!! At least, there is hope!! Stay safe out there, Today On Earth.
