Vegas baby!

So, I mentioned that winter storm coming to the northeastern U.S. for Friday, with the potential to drop up 10 inches of snow in some parts of eastern New York and northern Connecticut. Well, now, here is what that very same system did in Vegas the other day. Yes, Las Vegas. The one in Nevada. With the 110 degree summer temps.

I now can say that me and my wife are no longer bad luck charms for Vegas residents. The last two times that we've gone there, they got an inch of snow either the day before or the day after we arrived. We're thousands of miles away now, so it's definitely not our fault.

More climate change news

Here's some more bad news on the climate change front. Since I'm writing this the day before a pretty big winter storm moving into the northeastern U.S., I think that it's far to say that just because winter has come back like it does every year, that the Earth can still be getting warmer in general.
