Texas gonna be fun to watch. I hear Ted Cruz is packing up for another trip to Cancun soon :o
I’m in the LA area. Glad that we’re staying above freezing, especially in the wake of the fires.
But seriously, it feels like we’re getting these humongous weather patterns fairly regularly now. Maybe someone should investigate what’s going on with our global climate and causing these.
I recognize it was sarcasm, but in case you have any people in your life that argue that this cold snap disproves climate change, NOAA made this nice graphic to show what’s causing the unusual cold.
Don’t bother, they’re not arguing in good faith.
Sure is a mystery.
No, it’s obviously DEI.
For our non-American friends, subzero in Fahrenheit is actually cold. Not like that pansy Celsius subzero which is barely chilly.

Is it?
I’m looking out the window at my thermometer telling me that it’s -27C right now.
Yes.
-5 Celsius is not very cold. -5 Fahrenheit is cold.
Talk to me when it hits -40, and, no, I’m not putting any units on that.
I’d ask what it is, but I know the conversion doesn’t make sense unless it’s -40
That is my favorite temperature to convert between the two.
Right on the line, 0 to 20° here. Time to insulate the hoses and such.
Damnit. I’m also in the PNW and now I realize I need to do this. At least my outdoor plants should all be fine at those temps.
Need to prune the roses real quick too…
Roses are immortal. Once they are planted, you can’t get rid of them, weather be damned.
Edit: Source: I moved into my house 3 plus years ago and have been trying to kill off a very poorly located rose bush from the beginning. I’m about to pour vinegar on the thing.
Transplant that sucker.
