It was sunny yesterday and cloudy the day before in that part of Greater Houston I live in, but they had two things I did not like: they were dry days. There should have been snow, ice, frost, or anything involving frozen water. Bwagh, here's hoping that February will bring something rare (and safe) in our subtropical climate.

In 2020, #Evangelicals worshipped Trump as if he were Christ. They posted fake images of Donald in Messianic poses and using religious iconic imagery.

God sent a plague.

In 2026, red-state MAGA Republicans and Evangelicals responded to videos of horrific murders, Fascism, and ICE brutality by chanting "Ice, Ice, Baby."

So God gave them exactly what they were asking for.

Winter Storm Debilitates the South, Encasing Cities in Ice and Snow

The forecasts had predicted that the storm could be among the worst in a generation to hit the region. By Monday, it was clear that is exactly what happened.

Must be awkward for the #NBA to postpone two basketball games all on the same day because of the storm. #WinterStormFern #NBAThreads

We live in disorienting times; I feel lost and uncertain.

Massachusetts got hit with a major snowstorm, and yet Worcester wasn't in the top ten?! What is happening???

Probably another five inches fell overnight, to go with the foot of snow we threw yesterday ... Maybe a tiny bit more is still to come, but we figured it'd be better to use up ninety minutes of our afternoon rather than try & go out after dinner again #WinterStormFern
Yesterday morning's ice. It was pretty much all gone by early afternoon. #WinterStormFern https://www.flickr.com/photos/lancekingphoto/55061948745/in/dateposted-public/

I didn't think I'd see an announcement from Giant Eagle that they'll close by 4pm due to the #WinterStormFern weather yesterday.

We’ve lived here since 1989 and this is the worst snow to shovel I’ve encountered. We only got about 6 inches of snow, but it was followed by at least an inch of sleet. Temperatures are not supposed to get above freezing all week. My adult son came by (he lives elsewhere in DC and had to take his partner to the airport) and he and I managed to clear our steps and sidewalk. Had to use a gardening shovel with a square end to break the worst of the ice. Took us an hour. Then we helped a neighbor clear her walkway. DC is going to be a mess all week.

Even cities as auto dependent as Columbus can imagine ‘Life After Cars’ – Matter News

There’s certainly some irony in a visit from ‘The War on Cars’ podcast hosts Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon being canceled by a Level 3 snow emergency that prevented drivers from taking to the road on Sunday.
