I'm just south of Sarasota in January, if we get clear of this S out there.

I just noticed I am featured in this promo.

So Phil Niekro is back?

Yep. The Lake Michigan Ice Box rages on, mostly until June, if there is any wind off of it. Last year she never got above 70 by us. So, even in the dog days of August, we'd approach the marina and the damn thermometer would go from 85 to 65 in about a mile.

One of the surprises of my life was when I was working in Chicago the summer I was 16.  I went to Lake Michigan to enjoy the water.  Waded in, and came right back out.  It felt like I had waded into ice water.
Froze my unprepared arse off at the College All-Star Game too.

This is why I am so pessimistic about this whole topic and our future, reality sux.

The IEA says the lower emissions will reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change by almost 8% this year, which would be the largest annual decrease ever recorded.

But the U.N. has said global emissions must be cut that much every year for the next decade in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid its worst impacts.

we may have to thank the Chinese for saving the planet!

A freeze warning has been issued for the Chicago area early Saturday as an unusual polar vortex sweeps down from Canada.

The warning is in effect from midnight Friday through 7 a.m. Saturday, when temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 20s or lower 30s, according to the National Weather Service.

The late spring cold is being pushed into the area by a jet stream that is diving south and creating a “tropospheric polar vortex” over the Midwest and Northeast, the weather service said.

In the Chicago area, temperates will drop from the 40s through the 30s Friday, possibly dropping into the upper 20s during early Saturday. The record for Saturday’s date is 27 set in 1987.

Ironically, these will become more and more common as the climate warms.

The jet stream will continue to get weaker and slower, leading to more "polar vortexes" as the arctic warms.

Down to the low 40s here tonight.  Light rain today, we got a short walk in before the drops started.
