Why? They instead talk about biblical “end times” and humans controlling weather and other conspiracies. Or out right say “it’s just normal weather,ContinueContinue reading “And yet they still deny the science…”

A quick post.
I’m at work and forgot my charger at home so, it’s a very quick post concerning the crazy weather in the south east. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18mHepMGoP/?mibextid=wwXIfr The above video from Facebook is quite startling. In Texas. It appears denying climate change is doing wonders to keep it from happening. <sarcasm>

50°F, mostly cloudy, S 12 mph wind, YTD rain 18.57” Things are popping in the first bed i planted this year. It’s one of the raised beds I filled a little bit ago.

Heat and Aging
52°F, hazy, S 10 mph wind (it was 70° today! Warm!!!) It was definitely spring like today. Portland broke a record for warmth yesterday. We have swung wildly a lot this winter. As far as more climate science, here is another sign that a warming climate is not a good thing for humans. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adr0616?utm_campaign=Science&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=ownedSocial&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3ZM682JdCx4fDKzs3PyOuYNBChFkBb3QRAu_iWRt67LucoU030R7aiAjQ_aem_OwbldrJgMhL_deNOK_KfbQ ButContinueContinue reading “Heat and Aging”
Dismantling Weather Forecasting.
This was in the 2025 project plans. The plans the orange dictator claimed he had no idea about despite being named as a lead player. It’s going to be an “interesting” year for y’all in tornado alley and hurricane zones without critical warnings. Those of you who voted for this I won’t feel a shredContinueContinue reading “Dismantling Weather Forecasting.”
Warm enough for the bees today.
61°F, partly cloudy, SE 5 mph wind, rain ytd 17.91” https://videopress.com/v/3iVTO60i?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true The wild bees that moved into last year did well over winter and were out in mass today. Today was nice! After the cyclone we had for a couple days of windy excitement, a nice day was well earned. As far as climate changeContinueContinue reading “Warm enough for the bees today.”
Onion Sets
45°F, Cloudy with mist, 0 wind, 9.32” rain ytd Thank goodness the snow has melted pretty quickly so I can start complaining about mud again 🤣🙌. I planted a few test seeds of sugar snap peas I’d saved from the farm garden, some spinach, and onion sets. One bed is now full. I will seeContinueContinue reading “Onion Sets”
We May Be Warming Up
21/43°F, mostly sunny, SE 10 mph wind It was another cold night but I think I’m actually getting used to it. I’m going to tweak things in my camper for next winter that should solve or at least help with the cold drafts but I can honestly say this winter, although colder, and snowier thanContinueContinue reading “We May Be Warming Up”
More Snow & Ice
https://videopress.com/v/fvuNqddP?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true 37°F, sunny, S 8 mph wind, 6.16” rain/year I’m getting mighty tired of having to clear my rig everyday! I left the Midwest to avoid this. Well, and the crappy politics of Indiana. But at least the sun is out and it was more ice than snow over night and is melting quickly inContinueContinue reading “More Snow & Ice”
Snow Is Fertilizer
30°F, Mostly Cloudy, S 8 mph wind, .89” monthly rain, Winter Weather Advisory Snow doesn’t happen a lot here, but we sometimes get a day or two of snow in the winter. The thing about snow, even though the ice and snow can be annoying when having to drive to work, is that it actsContinueContinue reading “Snow Is Fertilizer”
