Just an observation about "weather"
The east coast was bombarded with ice, snow, and frigid below freezing temps. The storm of the century. People were all paying attention to that.
But because I'm on Mountain Time, and everyone COMPLETELY ignores anyone and anything happening on Mountain Time, I was looking at both the east and west coasts these past two weeks, trying to figure out what kind of weather we'd be getting because I have a farm and only rarely does anyone predict anything about the Rocky Mountains regarding weather.
So I noticed that during this same time the West coast was getting bombarded with higher-than-normal temps.
We're getting a completely normal January after a warm December in the Mountain Time zone. But it's gonna break in about a week and go warm again.
I think the snow and ice was a distraction from the fires they had planned.
Not really a helpful observation, but there it is nonetheless.
I guess everything, from now on, should be looked at in the frame of: What are they trying to hide?
