All good stuff. Thanks for the smiles to start the day.
Snowmagedan is starting here, and I’m in the dividing line between 12+ inches of snow or up to 3/4 inch of ice. About 50 miles separate the 2. Fun times.
Ouch. Only looking at 4-7 here, with a light coating of ice. Hope you don’t have any power outages.
Good luck to you both. we got about an inch of snow, and colder temps for a while, but nothing like what you all are getting…
Man this global warming sucks…
I might need my winter clothes today….
Brrrr….
Florida Panhandle (Panama City) here, and they are calling for temps to be as low as 31°. They originally called for temps to be as low as the teens. Had to turn the AC off and turn the heat on.

Florida needs heaters? Whoda thunk it. Presently I’m waiting for a mechanic to bring me a lowee radiator hose and some coolant so I can get back to plowing what is at the moment about 6 inches of snow and sleet. It can’t make up its mind which direction it wants to go on precipitation. So far, no ice where I am.
Woke up to 4°F this morning. Wind is very light, so it feels quite comfortable today. Glad I don’t have to shovel today. Almost Good ice making weather really needs to be below 0°. 8”+ ice so I should be able to get out and do some fishing later.
A few flakes hit my vehicle on the way home.
Like driving through a college campus.

Good stuff.
You may not can drink it, but it certainly makes an excellent swizzle stick/stirrer…and is outstanding as a stuffing for a cat headed bisket.
A balmy 42 degrees F @ Fire Base Magnolia with a high of 56F for today.
Two of the reasons to why Russia is able to whither through the sanctions are their raw resources including energy production, and their being on a wartime economy.
Russia is a major oil producer. This cash cow is going to be impacted once the implementation of Donald Trump’s “drill, drill, drill” policy impacts energy supply. The last time Donald Trump did something like this, OPEC fought back by increasing oil production and reducing oil prices. Russia stands to get hit hard should this happen.
As for their wartime economy. Let’s say they agree to a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine War, as Donald Trump wants. The agreement is going to impact both Russia and Ukraine, but not necessarily the sanctions the West has on Russia for having troops in Ukraine.
In the aftermath of a negotiated settlement, where Russia still has troops in Ukraine, the Western sanctions will still remain. The transition from “bullets to butter” will end up being painful under these conditions.
Russia was already facing a lot of internal challenges, many of these challenges threatening Russia’s continued existence as the Russian Federation, before their full-scale invasion. This was a motivator for Russia’s moving against Ukraine.
These conditions would not stop in the aftermath of a negotiated settlement. It’s possible that Donald Trump’s overall agenda regarding strengthening the US economy and causing fairer economic/trade arrangements between the US and other countries, including Trump’s calls to buy more energy from the US, will end up being for the Russian Federation what Ronald Reagan’s policies were relative to the USSR.
And when the price of oil drops to reasonable prices, refill the National Petroleum Reserve.
By executive order? Another executive order will overturn it, so no problem.
I fucking <3 the metric system. Mils and meters are a nice pairing but my first love is a 25.4 conversion factor.
We could probably scare spacecraft to lunar orbit with Rosa Delauro’s face.
Good stuff once again!
An excellent collection.
