Sorry, exceptionally busy at the moment.
"For the first time on record, precipitation on Saturday (Aug 14) at the summit of Greenland — roughly two miles above sea level — fell as rain and not snow." Theyre re-evaluating operations because they never expected it to rain, so their station wasn't prepared or built for it. We're boned. (Grokked from Steve)
About that Mount Shasta tweet… "The warning coordination meteorologist said there has in fact been other periods when Shasta had little to no snow, including in 2014 at the height of California's drought that year. Sandler said he also has seen a photo showing almost no snow on the mountain in October 1992."
"Williamson County health officials are recommending Leander Independent School District close for 10 days to slow the spread of COVID-19 — after over 400 cases were confirmed among students and staff… But Leander ISD said Tuesday it will keep schools open, instead focusing on specific classrooms impacted by clusters of positive cases." Yeah, that'll work. Who could have seen this coming? (ignores shouts and eye rolling) Obviously nobody could have seen these coming."'We want our kid back at school. We just want it to be as safe as possible,' Diane said. 'We are stuck in a conundrum that we don’t understand. We feel like the kids’ safety is not being looked at.'" I dunno, could listen to infectious disease experts? Ha ha ha. Only kidding. Let's listen to Diesel Chad over there, he's done all the "research" on The Facebook.
"Two weeks after the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, reported Covid infections in the state have risen nearly sixfold… South Dakota counted 3,819 new cases in the past two weeks, including seven deaths, up from 644 cases in the 14 days preceding it. That makes it the state with the largest percent increase in Covid cases in the past two weeks." Shocked, shocked I am… Didn't we do this last year?
"The website OnlyFans is reversing a planned ban on pornography and other sexually explicit content and will continue allowing it on the platform… The London-based company said just days ago that it would block sexually explicit material starting in October in response to concerns from banks and other financial services companies that enable transactions on the subscription service. It did not name the companies." And the interwebs breath a sigh of relief.
"Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that as many as 1,500 Americans may be awaiting evacuation from Afghanistan, a figure that suggests the U.S. may accomplish its highest priority for the Kabul airlift — rescuing U.S. citizens — ahead of President Joe Biden’s Tuesday deadline despite growing concerns of terror threats targeting the airport."
"The team of 'Kraken' attorneys who sought to overturn the 2020 election “scorned their oath, flouted the rules, and attempted to undermine the integrity of the judiciary along the way,” according to a Wednesday opinion from a Detroit federal judge… U.S. District Judge Linda Parker for the Eastern District of Michigan referred the team of lawyers — who sought to overturn the election in courts through a series bogus claims — for suspension or disbarment while granting requests for sanctions."
