Hello, hello,, hello…. Winter, winter, winter… but no snow… at least not here this morning…
It appears the weather guys and gals have got more information than their computers can swallow. They end up with two or three or more storm tracks and when they swing way down south in the cold wx times… things get very tricky.
If the air is cold enough (and so far the Canadian north has not seemed to run out of cold air) and the jet streams zag far enough south to pick up the moisture from the Gulf of Mexico… then the slightest deviations can make BIG differences in snow or precip falling rates down South… and depending more on how the winter winds whirl around the low pressure areas and the steering currents pluck at the here and there… then Washington – Phillie – NYC – Newark – Boston and the Maritimes have a wonderful time drawing sort straws to see just which one – or ones – get the really heavy stuff.
Couple that with the undermining the extra ground water does… (as in swallowing a north
I’ve not heard any theories as to why Australia got hit so hard with flooding this year… especially when the weather was acting up so much in the northern hemisphere. At one time there was a great huge theory that *all* the WX systems were linked together in some mysterious way… so wet in the northern HS… meant Dry in the southern HS… -- lots of rain in the southern California coasts meant dry weather along the east coasts etc. etc. etc…
Of course the EARTH has but one atmosphere … and in some fashion it is all ‘of a piece’ – but trying to figure out when you lift it up here… it’s too short over there…. Or wet… or dry… it seems beyond fathoming. There’s little doubt that we have more INFORMATION. Just how it hangs together – or what effect one part has on another has thus far escaped the scientists…. They guess and guess and sometimes it seems they get it right. But then I’ve proven pretty sharp on figuring out the sun comes up with some regularity over the eastern horizon and goes down out west…. It does shift around a bit….
And I read somewhere how difficult it was for the soothsayers when comets crossed the skies… or some of the planets appear to go backwards when you don’t understand exactly where they are in their own orbital jig around the solar system.
There’s so much we DON’T KNOW – and as a matter of truth, have not figured it all out yet…
I think I’d better take a nap now.

“JUST A MINUTE”
REMEDY FOR “SKY-IS-FALLING” DEBT CEILING
Just a Minute: - Newly-elected GOP Senator Pat Toomey – replacing Arlen Specter in the Senate – has outlined in the Wall St. Journal how we can freeze the debt ceiling without defaulting on our debt obligations. Jim DeMint calls Senator Toomey's argument -- “nothing short of a game changer…”
DeMint says Toomey correctly points out even if the debt limit is reached later this year, the government will still have plenty of money to service the national debt.
[quoting] "In fact, if Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will still have far more than enough money to fully service our debt. … Next year, for instance, about 6.5% of all projected federal government expenditures will go to interest on our debt, and tax revenue is projected to cover about 67% of all government expenditures. With roughly 10 times more income than needed to honor our debt obligations, why would we ever default?”
If you want to help -- you can sign a petition at “StopTheDebtPledge.com” or call Senator DeMint’s office. Sounds like a ‘game changer to me.
