It has to do with the desalinization of ocean water due to melting ice, which in turn would slow and eventually stop the “conveyor belt” currents that balance out the ocean temperature zones. Yes, it’s why the better term is “Climate Change”. ---

It’s supposed to get over freezing this coming Monday, it’s probably about time to dig out the shorts. ---

The temperature is doing some serious yo-yo-ing this winter. It got up to 30F here yesterday and is currently dropping to -4F tonight, tomorrow is colder yet and then the temp climbs again. The highs and lows go through a huge range ever week. That’s got to be hard on the trees and bushes, not to mention wildlife. ---

Spent part of the morning digging chunks of frozen dog piddle away from our back door. Piper Dogs, normally hardy and adventurous, ranging the entire backyard, have adopted a “screw that - do you know how cold it is?” attitude. Just go out the door, cock a leg, and come right back in. ---
