It was a day

with crazy weather day here in Michigan today. I only went out heavily bundled-up and was nervous to get on the ladder to replenish the peanut butter on the tree because it was so windy. There was good bird activity, but the light was also bad and everybody literally was out there trying to survive. Here are two photos from today though. A MoDo fighting off a Starling, and a Starling with an ice crown. These guys are so nuts they took baths today. It was so cold that the splashes froze on the lens and I had to de-freeze it several times. I hope you are all in a warm spot, good night! Hoping for snow and sun tomorrow!

What happened in Buffalo is not an isolated incident, nor is it an “act of god or nature.” Disasters like this will continue and become more frequent, affecting millions across the U.S. Nor is it confined to this country.

Workers and oppressed communities urgently need to organize and act. Our lives depend on it.

Severe weather in California - will it affect Montecito?

Praying for all my friends in California who might be impacted by this bomb cyclone. Sounds like it could be really bad:

“We anticipate this may be the most challenging and impactful series of storms to touch down in California in the last five years. If the storm materializes as we anticipate, we could see widespread flooding, mudslides, and power outages in many communities.”

Here's a map of where the mudslides in 2018 came through Montecito. The red swathe is the path of the mudslide, and the red circle is the Markle Mudslide Mansion. I do hope they've not spent every last penny on desperate PR measures and frightful failure fashions - they may need to do some home repair after this storm.

It's only a bomb cyclone if it comes from the bombe cyclonée region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling cold.

Sooooo nice to have power again!  We had no power from 3:52pm to 1:26am.  I couldn’t believe my ears when my heater turned on!  Felt like a miracle.  Thank you to my electric company for coming through with the repairs.  I won’t take my electricity for granted again. 😌

I also learned today that we basically had an equlivalent of a hurricane here (apparently they’re called bomb cyclones), except that it was really, really cold.  It was pretty scary, and don’t really care to experience it again! 😅

In light of recent events and since a bomb cyclone is headed our way before Christmas: who pissed off the snow miser?

Preparing for the bomb cyclone

Since all the TV weather folk are hyperventilating about the “bomb cyclone” that is expected to throw a huge swath of the country into the deep freeze – or worse – in the next 24 hours, I figured this would be a good opportunity for a quick Word of the Day (to give you something to do while you’re busy freezing to death or waiting for the power to go out…or come back on).

The Word of the Day is “bomb cyclone.” (Yes, I know that’s two words. Humor me.) It appears the term was coined, or at least popularized, in 1980 by MIT professor Fred Sanders and his colleague John Gyakum. They wrote a research paper that used the catchy (and scary) term for a meteorological phenomenon known as “bombogenesis,” sometimes also known as “explosive cyclogenesis.”

Basically, it all refers to a very rapid decrease in air pressure at the center of a storm (a decrease of at least 24 millibars within 24 hours, for all you weather geeks). When the pressure drops like that, meteorologists say the rapidly intensifying storm “bombs out.” And the results can be explosive, indeed, including heavy snow, fierce winds, power outages, torrential rain and flooding. The bomb cyclone can also bring with it dramatic drops in temperature – 40 or 50 degrees in a matter of hours. Kaboom!

Take it seriously and be prepared to hunker down for a while. They don’t call it a bomb for nothing!
