The Canadian High that has chilled us down is, as always, sliding east and the southern flow is beginning a warm up that will get us to more seasonal, springlike April temps. No rain in the picture until mid to late next week; just pollen and warmer!!
Europe is also warm, and dusty; southern air is bringing Saharan dust across the Mediterranean. Orange skies, muddy rain and dust added to pollen making for eye and breathing irritation on the continent, but colorful sunsets.
Other than a big slip (6.6) and another readjustment (5.0) on the eastern edge of the Scotia plate the planet is fairly relaxed today. Western Nevada at 4.7 and Colombia at 5.0 are the next biggest shakes; we'll take calm but know it won't last.
Another 961 Americans didn't make the weekend (I'm sure there were way more deaths than just that, heart disease and cancer kill more than the TrumpVirus, but barely these days, add another 100 or so from guns - murder & suicide). Nearly 70K more diagnosed yesterday with donny's scourge; if you refuse to follow easy safety guidelines, the spread will just roll on and on and on. If folks would just cover their fat faces, it would help in so many ways!
Our nearby star remains at zero sunspots nearly a year after solar minimum; a slow start to the new cycle. The moon is rising late, staying low in the sky (sun high during day but at night moon very low with our tilt scene). Some haze out there, not really clouds but not quite bluebird skies, and still chilly..but warming.
Birds as feathered pigs have almost emptied the feeders in the yard. A WARNING for feeders of birds; salmonella outbreaks have been linked to either the seed or birds (it was info from the weather channel and always more sensational than informative). I wash after I handle seed or feeders, you should, too.
It is a dangerous planet and no one gets out alive..so stay safe, practice safety if you wish to live long and prosper, Today On Earth!
