Feel asleep last night to howling wind and pieces of ice being thrown against the window. Woke up to two inches of snow causing me to think that I'm part of those who say the world will end in ice.
I Wish the Planet Had a Fever
"The planet has a fever." -- Al Gore, March 2007 "Spring weather records in Utah are made to be broken. And Monday's storm did just that, setting a record for the latest date measurable snow has fallen at the Salt Lake City International Airport....The previous record was on May 18, 1977, when half an inch of snow fell." Salt Lake Tribune, May 24, 2010
Houston, anyone?
Snow in Houston
A hurricane passes through the Houston area and Marathon Girl and I don’t blink an eye about wanting to move there.
However, this headline on the Drudge Report changes everything. Snow in Houston? This is what we want to get away from!
Why Even Listen to Weathermen?
Yesterday Radio Weatherman: A storm will be heading through Utah tomorrow just in time for the morning commute. Don’t worry about this one. We’ll be lucky to see an inch of snow in the valleys. This one’s going to blow right by.
Today
Radio Weatherman: This storm is really pounding the Wasatch front making the commute a nightmare. It looks like it might be here well into the afternoon dropping several inches in the valleys. If you haven’t left for work already, you’re in for a long drive.
