Massive thundercloud covers Brazilian cities, creating terrifying visuals. Is this normal? HAARP is fully functional and active. 🤔

We report: though the frost melts easily during the day, when we reach dusk once again, we can see car windshields fog over with ice. Still, though winter's hold is still strong, we can feel something stirring in the light. Our expert remarks on the sunset being a little late.

Regardless of the weather, the moon shines the same; it is the drifting clouds that make it seem different on different nights.

No quiet like this quiet: Governors Island, Imagination Playground, and South Street Seaport

ZANE IS MAKING ICE FALL?!

I'm sorry to my irl friends and lover who have Tumblr and see this. I just had to make a Zane reference.

ZANE?! ICE EMPEROR?! ZANE?! ZANE JULIEN FROM THE HIT SHOW LEGO NINJAGO: MASTERS OF SPINGITZU?! OH MY GOD!!!

Too warm winter in Moscow this year.

For my coastal Southerners who are experiencing snow the likes of which haven't been seen in at least thirty years, from a former coastal Southerner who now lives in the mountains:

You can play in the snow, but please stay warm about it. Emergency services will not be able to get to you very quickly if you get stupid and hypothermic about it.

Here's what you do.

You layer. Base layer is a tank top and leggings. Fleece leggings if you have them are the best. Plus long socks. Long enough to at least cover the bottom of the leggings. Tuck the tank top into your leggings. Your belly will thank me.

Second layer you want a long sleeve shirt. Any will do. And you want to grab a pair of pants that aren't jeans. Jeans are terrible at keeping heat. Go for slacks. Its the Bible belt, I know you have church slacks somewhere even if you arent Catholic anymore. If you're religious and/or don't want to wear pants, you want a THICK, LONG skirt. Find one thats courdory. Velvet. Something stiff. Put on some extra socks to compensate.

Now you want a sweater or sweatshirt. Gloves and something to keep your ears and head warm. If you wear an hijab you will be the warmest Southerner around. If your sweater or longsleevr shirt isnt a turtleneck, you want a scarf too.

The final layer is thus: rain boots and a rain jacket. As of noon cst on Jan 21, I know for a fact it is snowing across Mississippi and Alabama. You are Southerners. I know you have rain boots and a rain jacket, or something water resistant or proof enough to get you through the summer storms without getting too waterlogged.

This is important. Are you listening to me? Reading and comprehending?

You cannot get wet. Do you hear me? The wet will kill you like the Wicked Witch of the West. As soon as you get wet, you are cold, and you are done playing in the snow. Emergency services cannot get out to the rural areas in time to rescue your ass. They are also not equipped to ride around any more than you are. Coastal Mississippi and Alabama have bridges shut down and shelter in place orders.

So dont get wet. Stay warm. Have a good time with the first proper snow the coast has seen in my lifetime.

WHY is it FOUR DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THERE’S NO SNOW THAT IS NOT FAIR 😭

Rain on a dark night

[cleverreports]

We report on a brittle January morning: the dew point is rather low, and along with the wind, we think that we might freeze solid if we stay out too long. We count the handful of remaining stars in the sky, and the air inexplicably smells like dawn, brisk and sweet.
