Well, I suppose we've crossed another Great Divide:
So of course, CNN is running their 2013 Retrospectives and one of them was the 10 greatest meteorological disasters of 2013. Of course, they didn't call it that exactly, but close enough. So the meteorologist - you know- the guy who uses his hands WAY too much for TeeVee -at the end of the 10 nightmares actually states that this may be the new normal AND that it is due to climate change. Even more amazingly, the anchor didn't disavow the meteorologist's statements as they usually do.
I guess, if every two weeks you have a once-in-a-thousand-year catastrophe, then something may well be going on...even if Joe Scarborough, that great scientist and intellect, doesn't think so.
Since these occurrences seem to be costing many billions of dollars, then the Establishment is now ready to accept that they exist and are destroying whole segments of the globe and the populations which reside in dangerous areas. Dangerous being defined as anywhere on land or sea and at almost any altitude. Other than that, everyone is perfectly safe.
Oh and also, don't forget that eating bananas is just like living downwind from TMI, Chernobyl, or the aptly-named Fukushima. So far...at least.
And a Merry Christmas to all!

did you use your x-ray machine for your early dose? You can never be too careful there.
And yes, we crossed a threshold. We are fifteen degrees above normal, and it is bone dry out there. The wind advisory has been upgraded, and I am just waiting for the Red Flag to be issued.
You know it is expected when every news station locally kept telling people there is no red flag but be careful. The new normal is a year round fire season. (And I tend to look at the raw data from the NWS and lord it is not pretty)
Oh and did Hanukah Harry bring anything to you? I am guessing some new granite countertop.
