Supposed to be below zero here the next few days but not in that league. Tomorrow is the coldest at -12 high and -17 low.
 
It seems we sent our weather east. Stay warm everyone.

I spent a few hours yesterday and the day before preparing a project. It's all set up so today I'll start sewing. It will be fun.

Oh my goodness! Any 'frost quakes' in the forecast? LOL That would just round things out nicely! Our temps are dropping dramatically here today too - the coldest weekend yet is on its way. I always worry about people who are without housing in these extreme situations. One of our local churches has opened an "Inn from the Cold" space for 20 people when we have a cold alert - this is an improvement from past years, however our numbers of unhoused people in our area are also on a dramatic rise. So difficult.

Yet the rich position themselves better by cutting the margins at the fringe ... there has to be a message there ... it is a Kohl way of disposing of the labor! Yet in the future who will carry out the waste ...
 
I just want to confirm that we're calling it global "wyrding". It's when the temperature shifts 30 degrees Celsius, in mid-winter, irregularly (not like an annual Prairie chinook), that my climate spidey senses just tingle.

Chinooks aren't annual, they occur multiple times a season. How do you define abnormal from what happens typically every year?
 
I didn't realize that. New fact.

In central Ontario, weather was more predictable. When it was winter, it was winter. Snow grew and built up until the banks were 4' high. In Toronto, it just slushed all winter. Up north of me, not far, it just got cold and stayed cold.
 
Good morning, all! It's frigid out there this morning, at least in this area. But the Room is warm, fire in the memorial Crazyhearth, hot beverages at the ready. If you do go out, bundle up. When you come back in, a hot cup of your choice of beverage awaits.

Hearth, hub, or hob ... a true place for folks to gather and thaw their chi'ld self out after watching what humanity does to its innate self when we are told to be true to it ... then send false nous ... sometime evolving as nu's about us or information, data, intelligence to be corrupted you can bet! Imagine the powerful interpretations needing to be handled by the humble straw man ...

Imagine the options of escape the false line ... probably deep and adept remains ... Su'Ela?

Keep all myths complicated to protect those desiring not to know ... thus persisting in a state that finds evil hard to avoid ...

Path Eh 've ease? How to wake RIP Van ...
 
Oh my goodness - as if BC hasn't had enough crazy weather this year - now a tsunamic alert for much of Van Island and lower mainland! Hopefully this is issued out of an abundance of caution & not much will come of it. Prayers for all here and elsewhere in the world under alerts.

The volcano that triggered the tsunamis is actually down near Tonga (only 65km from their capital) so they are getting hammered as are some surrounding islands. Beside BC and the Pacific Northwest, Japan has issued warnings, too, but I think they are closer than our coasts. Apparently the eruption was audible in Fiji, 800km away, and some say even in New Zealand, 2300km away.

Get away from shore - US and Japan warn on tsunami

Both countries advise people on the coast to move away from water after waves cross ocean from South Pacific.

I really thought locusts would be next.

We're apparently okay here and we're on high ground. We have no plans to go to the beach today
 
I started a thread on the eruption. It is already looking like it will one of the big natural disasters, and geology stories, of the early part of 2022.

So, I replaced a door knob and wrote most of a story today. Now wrestling with the ending of said story. It has gone well so far but somehow I'm stuck on the final bit. Something will come to me soon, I am sure. It is for a competition that I mentioned earlier and is much better than the first story I wrote for it, though I might go back to that one at some point to see if it is salvageable, especially if this one goes off the rails.

Remember the story will go on ... that's all ... the rest is wrought ...
 
Good morning! Lots happening, from hostage situations (resolved, I think) to weather, to extreme cold to extreme waves in the Pacific... Let us gather in Spirit around the coffee cart. Maybe even some inspiration for writing may happen here too, ya never know.

Beautiful sunshine here with -13 feels like -20. The plough was here sometime overnight and put another pile of heavy snow in front of everybody's driveway. I am getting the hang of how to use the snow blower without having to back up too much ( and the steering and all that) so I cleared five of them and this time, some other neighbours came along with their blowers and helped on some other ones. So everyone was cleared out in 75 minutes.
I think I will be going snowshoeing on the golf course this afternoon.
 
We have yet to have enough snow for the plows to bother with our street (we are a side street with no through traffic so tend to get plowed next day ... if we're lucky). In fact, we have not done much shovelling ourselves. We have never had more than a couple cm at a time and generally get a brief thaw within a day or two. Right now, we are in out longest run of cold weather this winter. Snow due tonight, though, so maybe the shovels will come out tomorrow.
 
Good morning. We drove up island yesterday to deliver a Victoria's Quilt to a friend who starts chemo this week. It was a beautiful quilt that will give comfort. Then we visited friends who live in the area. Baela got extra loving. (You know she doesn't get enough normally ;))
