The Old Back Door Cold Front..

With the jet stream way up in Canada, US weather is kinda stuck. The monster High pressure dome had slid a little east but over night it slid back west as a cold front; a little cooler, a little drier today but still blocking the Low over New Mexico. That Low continues to spin and sling moisture from the Gulf up the Mississippi valley creating all kinds of flooding issues from Texass north. Almost a tropical storm, Anna is likely to spin up today and another system is showing some signs of circulation in the western Gulf; Hurricane season is stirring (Indian and Pacific already with big storms). Out west, potential for snow:)

Rather shaky day - 50 quakes on the world map but magnitude 5.7 is the strongest and most are sea floor and along the Aussie/Pacific plate boundary; no surprise there!!

Solar wind is zapping the Earth today, thank your upper atmosphere and magnetosphere for doing the job of protecting us from that energy. That will likely stir auroras in the southern hemisphere, too much light at the high latitudes on the northern end of the planet..little tilt thing going on and closing in on the extreme of that tilt. Moon beams a little brighter and bigger every night, wax on!!

TrumpVirus numbers have not been updated since Wednesday's list. Crazy denial of reality continues as a republican staple, newly installed house #3 bragged about donny the douche's amazing economy but seemed to completely forget about the pandemic collapse, blaming current ongoing problems on Joe. Others still claim the insurrection/coup of Jan. 6th was merely a walking tour of the building by upstanding citizens..although many of those "citizens" are now behind bars..as many members of congress should be. New York has opened a criminal investigation into donny's entire family; what took so long!

At the tirehouse, a large dog naps on, squirrels romp, hummers slurp and wrens serenade the world with song; life in the forest. Time for a walk into that forest, Today On Earth.

The Rosy Maple Moth has now moved on, last bit of life(??)on the window here.
