No, not in Boston. The weather here is supposed to be cool, damp and dreary for the holiday weekend.
By this time tomorrow, however, I will hopefully be sipping fruity drinks on a beach in Tel Aviv.
Suck it, Boston weather!

Life is back to normal

Back at work. Power is on. Life is good. Or at least as good as it was before the Blizzard of 2013. Except for the digging. That appears to be going on for a long while yet.
The northeast storm from space

OK, I promise not to continually add to the avalanche of snowstorm pictures. (Ha! Get it?) Except this one is pretty cool. Below is the northeast storm from space. You can get a high res version here.
The snowstorm to end all snowstorms?

Or so it would appear from the news coverage.
The snow has just started to accumulate here on the South Boston waterfront. BF and I are stocked on groceries and water. I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out how to get the fireplace started without the electric switch to turn on the gas. (There’s a place to put batteries, which I assume would only be needed in a power outage.) One hopes the electrical infrastructure in the city can withstand a big snowstorm, but I guess you never know what might happen between here and various substations. As long as the power stays on, we have Amazon Instant Video, Netflix and OnDemand — and one another — to keep up company.
Stay warm and stay safe if you’re in this mess!
So, there is this which is a real thing

Say it isn’t so

People in my part of the world — metro Boston — were lucky that we mostly suffered no long-term effects from Hurricane Sandy. But I have a great many people among my friends, family and colleagues who were very badly hit and are still all these days later without power, heat and a place to live.
Let’s hope they get lucky with this next storm which, under normal circumstances, would not be such a big deal. But these are not normal times in many parts of the Northeast.
My thoughts are with all of you.
Bloomberg endorses Obama
Posted in Environment, Science, Weather, tagged endorsements, Michael Bloomberg, Obama, romney on November 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Both campaigns have been maneuvering to get New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s endorsement, seeing his blessing as a stand-in for many of the fiscally conservative yet socially liberal independents around the country who look to Bloomberg’s politics as a reflection of their own.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg picks Obama.
Bloomberg says he was largely undecided — until Hurricane Sandy made him think that it’s the Democrats and Obama who are most well-equipped to deal with global climate change that may be bringing more severe weather and droughts to much of the world. (He also doesn’t trust Romney.)
You can read the New York Times article here.
I’m one of those people who think it’s been tragic that none of the debates have addressed climate change. And I’m happy to see Bloomberg put this in a way that makes sense:
Do we know that Hurricane Sandy and storms like it are a result of climate change? Some respected scientists still say we cannot know how much these increasingly bizarre weather events, taken in sum, are part of a pattern until we get more data, which must be collected over a period of many years. In any case, it will always be impossible to say if a particular storm system is caused by global climate change. (Note also that there are many respected, non-political climatologists who say we have enough data, and things look bleak already.)
But what if the increasing number of freak weather events are a result of climate change? What if the global temperature changes and melting of the glaciers and ice caps are a sign that something is terribly wrong? At what point do we act? And at what point will our actions come too late to make a difference?
At the height of the hurricane, weaves were blowing everywhere

Work week starts with Hurricane Sandy
Posted in Weather on October 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Spent the Halloween weekend in Provincetown — thus no posting for a few days — only to come back and have Monday off because school is closed.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that school is closed because of this massive storm bearing down on the East Coast.
The wind is gusting so hard the entire building shakes now and then. First time I remember that ever happening.
I’m not worried about our building. New construction. If I were in an older building, or one in a state of disrepair, I’d be concerned right now. It’s not so much that the winds are gusting all that high. It’s that they’re going to be sustained for so long because of this massive storm.
As I write this I’m looking at three huge cruise ships at the cruiseport across from my back deck. The ships’ captains apparently decided they were better off in port than out in this storm. That’s saying something.
If you’re in this, stay dry and stay safe!
Meanwhile, in Canada

I refuse to believe that nobody at this station realized how this could be interpreted.
Just in case you’re tempted to try it

We are dealing with the heat in our own ways. I think this little guy has the right idea.
Will it reach 100 degrees today?

Perhaps not since it started off cloudy, but we know it’s going to be a hot one today!
Big assed temps call for big ass beers.
