Almost done migrating!

It's going to be 90°F here today and tomorrow! It's too early in the year for these weather shenanigans! 😀 #ClimateChange #ExtremeTemperatures #KsWx

The Lamb Lounge is now open! πŸ˜ƒ I've taught the little ewe #lambs how to get in and out so they can creep in to feed some grain. Right now it seems more like an expensive bird feeder, but I can do some more training this evening. It takes some of the pressure off the mums & helps them keep some weight on. #SheepOfMastodon

I just feel sick about this #blizzard! 😫 We are only catching the very edge of it (others will have a way harder time than us), but all of the #FruitTrees around the house are blooming or buds starting to open & they're all going to be frozen. It's not just the blossoms, it's all the new leaves on all of the plants and trees - they're all going to get torched! πŸ˜’πŸ˜©πŸ˜«πŸ˜­πŸ˜–πŸ˜€πŸ˜  I'm so depressed! The trees would most likely be laden with fruit otherwise! 😭😭😭 #ExtremeTemperatures #ClimateChange #spring

Summerlike heat dome to send #Southwest temperatures soaring past 100 F

A strengthening #HeatDome will send temperatures soaring into the 90s and past 100 degrees across the Southwest, threatening records, accelerating snowmelt and raising #wildfire risk now, then #WaterSupply concerns later.

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Mar 13, 2026

"Temperatures will climb well into the 90s, with some areas forecast to top 100 degrees Fahrenheit through next week. While those numbers may not seem extreme for the southwestern United States, they are running one to two months ahead of historical averages and could have implications for wildfire risk and water supplies across the interior Southwest later this year.

"A persistent area of high pressure at multiple levels of the atmosphere, known as a heat dome, will intensify in the coming days and may be slow to break down."

Meteorologist warns 'highly unusual' US winter pattern shift is coming

Story by Everett Sloane, 2/5/2026

"A sharp, late-season flip in the jet stream is setting up a winter pattern that looks very different from the one that opened the year, and forecasters say it is not business as usual. A leading Meteorologist has described the looming shift as 'highly unusual,' warning that a distorted #PolarVortex and a recharged storm track could rearrange who gets buried in snow and who finally thaws out. The stakes range from #water supplies in the mountains of the western United States to #EnergyDemand and even #wildlife stress in places that are not built for #ArcticAir.

"The core of the coming change is a dramatic reconfiguration of the polar vortex and the jet stream that steers storms across North America. Instead of a simple, locked-in cold pool over the eastern half of the country, forecasters describe a stretched and wobbling circulation that can send frigid air plunging south while allowing pockets of warmth to surge north. One Meteorologist has framed the setup as 'Highly unusual,' noting that winter weather across the United States is about to change in a big way as the upper-level flow reorganizes over the central and eastern states, a shift detailed in a recent analysis. Instead of the gradual, predictable evolution that textbooks once suggested, the atmosphere is pivoting quickly, with cold and warmth trading places in a matter of days."
