Blackshear On Ice

 

Obligatory pictures of a Blackshear snowfall. This one is not much more than a couple inches, but it's extra dangerous because it's coated with ice.

Yep. I grew up in Michigan. I am not a stranger to driving on snow. But ice? That terrifies me. So Alison and I will stay home until the ice melts off.

Some might occur today. But with highs in the mid-thirties, it may not melt off enough to make Thursday morning drivable.

Dogs on ice! They can't break through the snow due to the layer of ice. There are two dogs out there. What? You can't see Pixie, our little white-haired dog?

Yeah.  Not going anywhere with icy snow on the car.

So, is this climate change?

Two things you can attribute to climate change -

1) Average global temperatures are rising. 2024 set new records. Each year is topping itself.

2) As climate changes, more and more extreme weather events will occur. Some would happen anyway. Some are not caused by it but are definitely juiced up by it.

I can tell you who does believe in climate change.

The Orange Conman.

Whaat? Are you kidding me, Tom?

Think about it. Why do you think he's lusting so hard over Greenland and Canada?

Because he knows as they melt off, he can access more fossil fuels and other natural resources!

Is he doing that for the benefit of the people that live there? No, no, no, NO!

Is he doing that for the benefit of the average American? No, no, no, NO!

Is he doing it to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies? Yes, yes, YES!

He wants to dismantle those places and strip them for parts.

He's already, through executive order, doing that to Alaska. He's opened to full exploitation - no environmental protections whatsoever.

No, I won't let this go.

I will keep bringing up the horrid decision made by 49.8% of the voting population.

Anyhoo...

Enjoy the weather as best you can! Stay safe out there!
