Yeah, we got an "Atlanta snow" overnight, the kind that barely covers the grass and melts in a few minutes the next day.

The problem in Atlanta with driving is when they get freezing rain and sleet, not snow.  I've seen it where I could barely stand up on the parking lot without falling much less try and drive anywhere.

The snow rarely covers the pavement.

I've seen one ice storm like that in 28 years in Cincinnati.

We had some in the air this morning but it didn't stick.  Upper 70s by the end of the week though, thank goodness.

The ten day forecast is killin' me. 

For like a month now it has been promising awesome weather right around the corner, only to continuously get pushed back again and again.

Looks like 70 is possible here on Friday, but then back into the 30's by Saturday night and no prediction for at or above average for at least 4 weeks.

This weather pattern sucks.

yup, even Lincoln, 2 hours south of me and generally 5-10 degrees warmer this time of year has crappy 10-day forecast

I have 4 tickets to the Huskers/Hawks baseball series Saturday and Sunday - going to visit my daughter

Forecast for Lincoln - Saturday high of 33, one inch of snow, 28mph wind out of the NW - Sunday high of 41, cloudy, wind only 20mph

may have to eat those tickets - wish I would have only purchased two for each game

January 100, 2018. 26 degrees.

Looks like April may come tomorrow, for a few days, and then March starts over the weekend, with lows in the high 20's or lower 30's for the next 10 days or so. At least the highs in that period will get into the 40's and maybe some 50's.

I don't see a realistic practicable or likely path to reducing even the upward trend very much, if any.  Of course, I do lean to being pessimistic about outcomes, but my life experience has forced me to be "realistic", something that was not helpful in my career.

The fact that I was right in my pessimism in my career was not appreciated either.

My nickname at work was "Doctor Doom" because I was pretty good at finding the flaws in various proposals (including my own).

Well, there is only so much "we" can do, but I do think little things matter.

It would help if the entire world was on board with some of this, even if a little.

When I say "we", I mean humanity as a whole.  Certainly individuals can do "something" but it's unrealistic to expect individual or even collective efforts are going to stop this thing, or curtail it by any measurable "degree".

It's going to happen, it's inevitable, and "we" probably should spend some time thinking about how to try and manage the worst of it.  

And yes, a HUGE effort might lop off a couple tenths.
